For Indian students seeking higher education, the United States remains their top choice. There are many reasons why getting a degree from the US is becoming more desirable, including the abundance of top-notch colleges and universities there. This year’s increased capacity for US visas, shorter wait times, and an overall rise in the number of Indians who want to study abroad, not just from major cities but also from tier 2 and tier 3 cities also led to more Indians looking to go abroad for studies.
According to a recent survey from the Graduate Record Examination (GRE), Indian students seeking higher education in the United States are increasingly choosing physical sciences over engineering for their master’s and doctorate degrees.
Nearly 4,000 accredited institutions make up U.S. higher education in the United States. The 2023 Times Higher Education Supplements rating of the world’s universities places American colleges in 19 of the top 30 positions.
The academic year in the United States normally lasts from September to May, and it can be broken into two semesters, each lasting 16–18 weeks. As an alternative, certain institutions may run on a trimester or quarter system with numerous terms lasting between 10 and 12 weeks. To ensure success, it is crucial that you choose the university that best suits your academic goals and personality type when you are considering your options.
