Spending by Indian students in US fell to 7-year low in 2025: RBI
Indians sent only $1.16 billion abroad for overseas education in January-June 2025, down 22% year-on-year and the lowest first-half figure since 2018, RBI data showed. The sharp fall comes amid tighter student visa rules in the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Analysts noted a shift toward Germany and Indian colleges, slowing education loan growth.
