Abstract

India stands second in the world after China where the number of students from India moving to other countries for higher studies is concerned. In the last 14 years, the number of children being sent from India has increased four times. The present study found that the main recipient countries for Indian students migrating for higher education are the USA, UK, Canada and Australia and the major programmes preferred are related to STEM, psychology, entertainment, etc. Burning desire for high paying jobs; better standard of living and demonstration effect, widened scope of research, liberal immigration policies are the pull factors which combined with the push factors like increased competition for admissions in higher education institutions of India and exorbitant fees charged by them have resulted in increased incidence of this phenomenon.
