A major shift is reshaping global higher education trends. A new report by the Graduate Management Admission Council shows international student enrolment in the United States dropping sharply, with overall new enrolments down 19 percent and Indian student numbers falling 45 percent. Applications are rising instead across Europe and Asia, as visa delays, policy uncertainty, and concerns around post-study work rights weigh on decisions. Business schools in the US report significant declines, with many admitted students failing to arrive. Experts say that by 2026, visa clarity, affordability, and work opportunities—not just university rankings—will determine where global talent chooses to study.
