Transnational Report 4.0: Recalibrating Indian Student Mobility

At upGrad Study Abroad, we’ve been closely tracking the changing aspirations of Indian students moving overseas, and the shifts are bigger than ever. From Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities taking the lead, to careers and ROI outweighing the old PR dream, and even language no longer being a barrier, the landscape looks very different from what it was just a few years ago. Today, affordability, global employability, and future-proof skill sets are shaping decisions more than traditional factors. Our latest insights uncover what’s really driving this change, how institutions are adapting, and what it ultimately means for the future of Indian mobility and opportunity worldwide.
