#USPresidentialElections2020 | The past few years have seen a slowing down of the growth of foreign students' flow into the United States. Any continuation of the negative sentiment will hurt US varsities.

India and China put together contribute 52 per cent of foreign students in the US and the new administration will not like to lose this advantage.

The flow of Indian students to the US has come down
among those who are looking to pursue graduation-level degrees.

While the total number of Indian students had crossed
200,000 in 2018-19 (latest data available), the growth has
fallen significantly.

The total number of US students in Indian educational
institutions has been minuscule.

Less than 4,000 US students were in India in 2017-18.
