Several reports say interest among Indian students in studying in Europe is rising as other destinations grow more difficult. One outlet links the shift to stricter visa rules in countries including the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, alongside the perceived cost advantage of studying in Europe. It reports that tuition fees in Europe can be about 50% to 80% lower than in the US. Another report, focusing on policy changes, attributes part of the renewed interest to a January trade deal that is intended to make it easier for students and skilled workers to move to Europe. The same source says the agreement seeks to improve access through easier visa pathways and clearer post-study work routes.
Taken together, the coverage presents a consistent picture: European education and migration processes are seen as becoming more accessible, while alternative destinations are viewed as tightening. The articles do not provide detailed data on overall application numbers, but they agree that affordability and changes in visa and post-study employment clarity are major drivers.
