30 universities in America deny admission to 10 thousand students

The dream of education, once known as the 'American Dream', is now turning into a nightmare for Indian students. About 10,000 Indian students have been denied admission by 30 leading universities in the US like Yale, Brown, Cornell, Stanford, Boston and Washington this year due to the policy orders of former US President Donald Trump. This information has been given by Mohammad Ali of Bhaskar Group, New York.

These students had applied to science, commerce and arts departments. Their admission process was almost in the final stages. However, the admission offer letter was suddenly revoked at the end of March. Manish (name changed), who applied for a PhD in climate change at Boston University, said, "Climate change is not a priority for the Trump administration, so I got rejected."

PhD enrollment declines due to lack of government funding

A professor at Penn University explained that, "PhD enrollment has declined due to the government's cutback in educational funding." As a result, many projects and courses have had to be halted.

Harvard and Columbia oppose Trump order

Meanwhile, Harvard University directly opposed Trump's orders, stating, "We will not tolerate arbitrary orders." Harvard University, considered the richest in the world financially, has assets of around Rs 4.5 lakh crore, which is more than the GDP of more than 100 countries in the world.

After Harvard, Columbia University also defied Trump's orders. Trump had ordered 60 universities to stop anti-Semitic protests and undergo audits by an outside agency. But many universities are now resisting these orders due to domestic pressure and questions arising in international education.

F-1 visas also affected, only 3 lakh out of 4.5 lakh approved

This year, 4.5 lakh Indian students applied for F-1 visas, but only 3 lakh students were approved. Last year, the number was more than 3.5 lakh. More than 1.2 million foreign students come to study in the US every year, and Indian students have been at the forefront of this for the last two years.

Danger warning for Indian students

This situation is a wake-up call for Indian students dreaming of pursuing higher education in the US. Political policies, lack of funding decisions, and increasing instability are putting the education, careers, and futures of many in jeopardy.
