Uni Discovery reports significant increase in university Applications among Indian students this year

Uni Discovery, an education mentorship platform, has witnessed a surge in university education applications from 7-8 lakh Indian students. This surge is particularly evident among those aspiring to pursue studies in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, as per the press release.

Remarkably, there is a discernible upward trend in applications directed towards Eastern European countries, including Lithuania, Finland and Sweden. This surge is attributed to the appeal of these countries’ affordable tuition, reasonable living expenses and streamlined visa procedures, it added

“The landscape of higher education is evolving, and Uni Discovery is witnessing a changing pattern in the preferences of Indian students seeking global education opportunities. In the past two years, as application numbers have risen, admission rates have experienced a decline, particularly at highly selective institutions. Harvard’s regular admission rate, for instance, decreased from 3.43% in 2020-21 to a historic low of 3.19% in 2021-22. Similarly, Boston University witnessed a drop in admission rates from 18.3% to 14% during the same period,” Ananya Sachdev, founder, Uni Discovery, said.
