Indian Students Return Amid Visa Uncertainty

Indian students increasingly return to India after graduation due to tightening visa rules and shrinking post-study job prospects, according to government data and industry sources. F-1 issuances fell 67% in June–August 2025 versus a year earlier, and outbound student numbers dropped from 908,364 in 2023 to 626,606 in 2025; UK and Canada also tightened entry and permit rules.
