Number of Indian students in US rose in 2022: Report

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement in its annual report has stated that India sent 64,300 students to America in 2022 while China’s number shrunk to 24,796.

 “The number of students from China and India made Asia the most popular continent of origin. Comparable to the drop from the calendar year 2020 to 2021, China sent fewer students in 2022 compared to 2021, while India sent more,” the report mentioned.  

According to the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP), the number of international students enrolled at kindergarten through grade 12 schools increased 7.8 per cent from 2021 to 2022. No K-12 schools hosted more than 700 international students in the calendar year 2022, similar to the calendar year 2021.

Further, all four regions in the US saw an increase in international student records from 2021 to 2022, with respective increases ranging from 8 to 11 per cent. In 2022, California hosted 225,173 international students, the largest percentage of international students (16.5 per cent) of any US state.
