India likely to overtake China vis-à-vis number of overseas students in UK

22 Aug 2022

Alex Ellis, the British High Commissioner to India, said that the number of visas issued to Indian students went up from 20,000 five years ago to one lakh last year, and is likely to climb further up. He added that this year, the number of Indian students on British campuses would surpass China. “We issued roughly 1,00,000 student visas last academic year. We hope to beat the record of last year. There’s been a huge growth in Indian student numbers to the UK. We’ve got down to somewhere very low, less than 20,000 four or five years ago, now it’s up to 100,000, we want to go even higher. It could be that this year India overtakes China in terms of students coming to the UK.”
