Visa interview suspensions and restrictions on international students have caused widespread panic and a sharp decline in Indian applications. Consultants report a significant drop in students choosing US universities, with many opting for the UK and Europe instead.

Even prestigious scholarships like Fulbright-Nehru are experiencing delays and uncertainty.
