Indians have become the biggest group of international students in the U.S., surpassing Chinese students this year for the first time in 15 years. New data released by the State Department in conjunction with the Institute of International Education shows that there are now 331,602 Indian international students in the U.S. , compared with 277,398 Chinese international students .
More than 40% of India’s population is under 25, according to Pew Research Center analysis, and the population is aging slower than both China and the U.S. “The vast majority of Indian students who come to the U.S. are graduate students, particularly graduate students who are studying math and computer science or engineering,” she said. “Their options for graduate study are really attractive outside India.” They also tend to want to stay in the U.S. and work after graduation, Khanna said.
