The Open Doors report for 2020-21, the latest annual comprehensive edition on International Student Enrolment in US higher education institutions, shows an overall decline of 15 percent and a 13 percent decline for Indian students in particular. It also shows that the Indian students are the second-largest cohort (93,981 excluding post-study participants) among international students in the US even with declining numbers during the 2020-21 academic year. Drop-in Indian student enrolment numbers were seen for the first time in 2020 when it fell under one hundred thousand since 2014.
