Open Doors Report 2022

The Open Doors Report 2022, released on November 15, had also shown that India’s share in the total number of international students had increased from 11.8 per cent to 21 per cent. With this, India had surpassed China in the number of international students in the US.

In 2022, the total number of international students pursuing higher education in the US rose from 9.14 lakh in 2020–21 to 9.48 lakh in 2021–22.

The Open Doors Report 2022 also showed that nearly half of the Indian students pursuing higher education in the US are spread over six American states — New York, California, Texas, Illinois, Massachusetts and Arizona, which host 12 higher educational institutions in the top 100 in the latest round of QS rankings.

Interestingly, other than engineering, programmes in mathematics and computer sciences have gained the top spot in order of preference over the past decade. Additionally, an analysis by The Indian Express of Open Doors data compiled by the US State Department and the non-profit Institute of International Education (IEE) also showed that more and more Indian students studying in the US are choosing to stay back after their degree to join a three-year work or training programme.
