Indian students from studying in UK: Today, all the financially capable parents of India prefer to send their children abroad for better education i.e. higher education. According to a report, due to changes in the UK in the last few years, the number of Indian students has fallen by 21 percent.

Indian Student Numbers Drop in UK Universities: Even after 77 years of independence, the country's education system is inadequate according to the needs of the population. According to statistics, there are about 4.5 crore students in the country but only 29% of them can see the face of the university. That is, enroll. NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subramanian said, "To enroll 50% of India's students, the number of universities needs to be doubled from the current 1200 to about 2500. In the last 10 years, one university and two colleges open every month. Yet only 29% of students in the appropriate age group enroll in graduation. Despite all the challenges, more than 50 per cent of the students should be in colleges in a fallen condition."

Due to these reasons, financially capable parents prefer to send children abroad for better education (higher education). Indian students go to study from Russia to the Middle East and from America-Canada to Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Meanwhile, a report has revealed that the interest of Indian students to study in Britain has decreased. Let us tell you what else this report says.

According to the report, there has been a decline of about 21 percent. Enrolment of Indian students in UK universities has fallen by 20.4% due to limited job prospects, security concerns and restrictions on dependents.

These declines, coupled with a decline in the number of Nigerian students, pose financial risks for UK universities highly dependent on international students. A new report on the sustainability of the higher education sector in the UK has revealed that Indian students are postponing applying to UK universities, adding to the financial woes of the UK.

Significantly, the educational institutions there are already facing the challenge of limited budget. An analysis based on UK Home Office data on confirmation of acceptance (CAS) for foreign students by UK providers from 2022-23 to 2023-24 shows that Indian student numbers declined by 20.4 per cent. Now the number of Indian students has come down from 1,39,914 to 111,329.

What is the reason for the shortage?

In response to this question, Indian student groups present in Britain say that there has been a change in Britain's policies in the last few years. Facilities provided to migrants have decreased. Opportunities and job prospects for students have decreased. A sense of insecurity and security concerns after recent anti-migrant protests in some cities and riots are believed to be the reasons for the decline in the number of Indian students.

"There has been a significant decline in student visa applications from some of the major source countries. The largest decline has been recorded in the number of CAS issued to Indian and Nigerian students. The number of applications from Nigeria has decreased by about 45 percent.

"Universities, including self-finance models that are heavily dependent on Indian, Nigerian and Bangladeshi students, may worsen the situation if the problems/concerns of foreign students are not addressed," the agency's report warned.
