Survey Finds Indian Gen Z Shifts Toward International University Programs in India
A survey by Emeritus reveals that nearly half of Indian Gen Z students have reduced interest in studying abroad due to rising tuition costs, visa restrictions, and safety concerns. Despite this, 68% of respondents are open to pursuing international university programmes offered within India, attracted by lower costs and reduced visa uncertainties. The trend is especially notable among students considering the USA, with many balancing overseas ambitions against financial and logistical challenges by opting for global education locally.
