US remains popular destination for Indian students

High quality education, global recognition, flexibility, and exceptional reputation of the US higher education system has continued to attract students from around the world to pursue their ‘study in America’ dream

As we restart our column ‘DestinationUSA’ today, we begin by talking about the relevance and impact of international education, learning, and exchange. We choose this topic today as the US Department of State and the US Department of Education jointly celebrate International Education Week (IEW) from November 16-20, to highlight the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.

The United States remains the most popular destination for higher education by Indian students. High quality education, global recognition, flexibility, and exceptional reputation of the US higher education system has continued to attract students from around the world to pursue their ‘study in America’ dream. It is relatively easy to put together a list (a rather long one) of leaders, professionals, academicians, and entrepreneurs from India who have studied in the United States and made a successful mark in their respective domains and fields of studies.
