Chennai: The number of US students coming to India this year has jumped nearly 45% with more Americans opting for short-term courses - a semester or a subject with a popular professor or college. But their total number is still belw 4,000 - a small fraction of the over- 1 lakh Indian students going to the US every year.
“Especially, doctorate and graduate students come to India, just for a semester or a few months or research with a scholar," said US-Indian Educational Foundation executive director Adam Grotsky. US consulate in Chennai said it's the performance of Indian students and scholars in the US that may have inspired the trend. |
