How Dubai has graduated to rival US, UK as overseas pick for Indian students

Dubai is increasingly becoming a sought-after destination for higher studies by Indian students, with the number of students from the country seeking admissions in campuses in the emirate tripling in the last five-year period, top executives and sector experts have revealed.

Indian universities and business schools in the UAE are also reporting higher intake of international students in their campuses, with universities such as Amity University reporting students from 65 countries on its enrollments.

“This year has particularly seen a big jump in the number of students from India seeking admissions in our university in Dubai, as also in many other university campuses in the UAE because of the confusion and uncertainty over admissions in the US universities,” Atul Chauhan, Chancellor of Amity University and President of Amity Foundation, told Arabian Business.
