❑ During academic year 2019, decline in overall student migration was mainly on account of decline in number of students going to US. This was
attributable to change in US government’s immigration policy for post-work visa
❑ With continued impetus on suspension of the entry of immigrants who pose risk to the US labour market during the economic recovery post
COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, students aspiring for higher education in USA might have to re-consider their options
❑ Moreover factors such as significantly lower return on investment (due to reduced chance of employability), changing global geo-political
landscape would also influence the prospective students’ decision making about studying abroad.
These factors would contribute to rising thrust of the students in Indian Private/ Deemed university.
