"The number of students from China and India made Asia the most popular continent of origin. However, China sent fewer students in 2021 in comparison to 2020 (-33,569) while India sent more students (25,391)," the report said.
The number of Indian students in the United States increased by over 12 per cent in 2021, while those from China which accounts for the largest number, dropped by more than eight per cent, a governmental report said on Wednesday.
In its annual report, US Citizenship and Immigration Services said the COVID-19 pandemic continued to impact international student enrollment in the United States in 2021.
The total number of SEVIS records for active F-1 and M-1 students was 1,236,748 in the calendar year 2021, a decrease of 1.2 per cent from the calendar year 2020.
SEVIS stands for Students and Exchange Visitor Information System. F-1 and M-1 are the two non-immigrant student visas. J-1 is also a non-immigrant student visa but is mostly given to scholars exchange programs.
