Safety at US universities for Indian students get extra attention

The United States remains the top choice for Indian students seeking education abroad. The US Embassy anticipates a surge in student visa applications in 2024, surpassing the 140,000 visas granted to Indian students in the previous year, as per official data. In 2023, Indian students constituted the most significant cohort of international graduate students in the US. Despite the popularity of the US as a study destination, recent months have witnessed a series of tragic incidents involving the deaths of Indian and Indian-origin students in the country.
