krishna murthy
QS Best Student Cities Ranking, released on Wednesday, has placed Mumbai as the highest-ranked city in India.
Mumbai, at a global ranking of 103, gets a high score in 'affordability' parameter but struggles in 'student mix' and 'desirability'.
It is followed by Bengaluru (114). India doubled its representation with two new entries in 2022 - Chennai (125) and Delhi (129).
International students represent only a small fraction of the overall student body in India.
According to the All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) 2018-19, the number of international students enrolled in Indian universities was just 47,427.
India seeks to attract 2,00,000 international students, more than four times the current total, by the end of 2023.
QS Best Student Cities Ranking provides students with independent data regarding a range of factors relevant to their study decisions.
London takes the top spot, extending its table-topping run to four years, followed by Seoul.
