Trump concludes international admission in Harvard – Harvard controversy, Trump wrapped up all foreign students, how many Indians have been affected by a visa interview – US President Donald Trump concludes Harvard University Funding International Students
The continuous dispute between US President Donald Trump and Harvard University is increasing day by day. The controversy has begun to directly affect Indian students who are planning to get higher education by studying in the United States or going to the United States. The Trump administration has ordered the abolition of several government contracts that run with Harvard University, as well as the cancellation of Harvard’s right to admit international students. Harvard University has filed a case in the US court against this decision.
What’s the matter?
The United States Public Services Administration (GSA) has ordered all federal sectors to immediately eliminate all agreements with Harvard University. In addition, President Trump has banned the admission process for international students in Harvard. The purpose of this decision is unclear, but this action will be a big shock to the students and the university because millions of Indian students study in the United States.
What impact Indian students will be?
Recently, a report received, in the last few years, the number of students traveling from India to the United States has increased rapidly. Especially in the 2023-24 educational session, Indian students are higher than the number of Chinese students in the United States. According to the ‘Open Dorse 2024’ report, a total of 3.31 lakh Indian students are studying in the United States, which is 29.4 per cent of the total 11 lakh international students.
According to the official website of Harvard University, about 500 to 800 Indian students are enrolled at this valuable university every year. Currently, 10,158 international students from over 140 countries are studying in Harvard. According to the BBC report, this decision will have a major impact on Harvard’s Indian students, but also the educational and future of about one million international students living in the United States.
What options do Indian students study in Harvard now have?
After Trump’s decision, Indian students who are studying in Harvard now have two options, and one will have to be transferred to another certified company or they are in danger of losing the US immigration status. Students who have completed degrees in this semester will still be allowed to graduate. According to Noim’s letter, this change is only applied to the academic year 2025-2026 and will be added. Harvard’s 2025 students will be awarded a Harvard Degree next week.
Thousands of students studying in the United States are worried about this decision. Indian students, especially the first option for higher education in the United States, now feel uncertain about the future. Because of this decision, many students may be forced to leave their studies.
