New Delhi, Feb 26: A report from National Foundation for American Policy shows the number of Indian students enrolled in graduate level programme in computer science and engineering in the United States has declined by 21 percent from 2016-2017.
The report indicated that decline is attributed to US president Donald Trumps restrictive visa and work policies. Last year, US has made H-1B visas rules more tougher which has affected the prospects of attracting foreign students making a significant contribution to the US economy....
Trumps travel ban and hardline immigration policies have put off students from the Middle East and Muslim majority countries thats not surprising. But, initial findings of the survey also point to a decline in applicants from India and China, which together provide nearly half of the USs international students.
