Number of Indian students joining US engineering colleges declines

BENGALURU: The number of students from India enrolled in graduate level programmes in computer science and engineering in the United States has declined by 21 per cent from 2016 to 2017, according to a study by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), based on data from the US Department of Homeland Security.

The NFAP said the number of international students enrolled in US universities declined by approximately 4% between 2016 and 2017, and more than half of this could be attributed to fewer individuals from India studying computer science and engineering at the graduate level in 2017.
