That's absolutely right. People just delayed their MS plans by a year or two

If you sum 2020+2021+2022 the average is lower than the three previous years, and taking into account that the rise could be due to a lot of people postponing their stays abroad because of COVID, I'd say this data is not that clear. It would be interesting to see how this trend evolves is 2023.

Is data beautiful when the y axis in the illustration isn’t labeled with a unit of measure? No. I don’t believe it is.

In India, 1 lakh = 100,000

What's next? Using miles for US-American data?

Well, that is a common practice, albeit an annoying one.
goodluckonyourexams t1_j7xr8fi wrote
I've never looked at a data but I would've thought that that unit is used that the audience is familiar with.
Qaziquza1 t1_j7xrjlq wrote
Well, I suppose the target audience hereof is Indians; ipso facto, it makes sense to use lakhs. Additionally, I'd argue most people are familiar enough with lakhs. I'm American, never been to India, and still am aware of them.
TheShreester t1_j8kum4p wrote
Regardless, if they're going to use "local" units they should make it clear what these are. Adding a key explaining that 1 lakh = 100,000 is all that's required. I appreciate this particular graph was probably produced for domestic use only, but the WWW means that once online, data can travel around the world.
Qaziquza1 t1_j8pxigo wrote
No doubt a key could be helpful, yes.

nah, I was completely serious
it's not an Indian sub so it makes no sense to use Indian units

Actually this is common and widespread problem with US multimedia, which still uses Imperial measurements, which is confusing for the rest of the world, most of whom have adopted Metric.
goodluckonyourexams t1_j8kx6uc wrote
"US multimedia", meaning target audiende US-Americans, not rest of the world
TheShreester t1_j8ky1gy wrote
If it's online then the potential audience includes the rest of the world, or at least any country with open Internet access. For example, there aren't many YouTubers with separate domestic and foreign YouTube channels.

What does the y axis represent?
LordFaquaad t1_j7xuoxx wrote
Number of students leaving. Unit is lakh
Miscellaneous2323 t1_j7y0xpb wrote
Apparently, lakhs mean 100 thousand in India . I was not aware of that

Number, can't you read? /s

Maybe including older data could help

Isn't this just pent-up demand from lockdown? Additionally, the yoy increase, once compared to the rate until 2019, is still considerable, but no longer as substantial as the graph tries to claim.

Just because you don't understand other numbering systems doesn't make them fake.

The number of Indian students going abroad witnessed a substantial jump of 68% in 2022. At nearly 7.5 lakh, it was the highest in the last six years, as per the data shared by the government in the ongoing budget session of the parliament.

Um…to conquer?

it is a metaphor.

I don’t think you know what a metaphor is
Maybe you should go study abroad
dootrumpet t1_j7v7qnt wrote
i dont need to.
"conquer the world" is a metaphor for becomming a world power: economic, defence and social - wise.
read some literature, it may help you a lot.

There's heavy competition for Seats in India, especially for Meds and Management students. Students always target Govt-run institutes for higher education in entrance exams as private ones are costly so not everyone can afford them without Student-loan etc but even then it's hard to get a seat in a good private college if you didn't score well in entrance exams like JEE(for Engineering), NEET(for Meds), CAT(Management) etc, reason same competition for seats. So as seats are limited and not everyone can afford private ones they go abroad. More than half of these students are medical(MBBS) students and mainly they go to Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia-USSR countries because they accept NEET scores and education is quite cheaper there compare to Indian private institutes.

Never going to happen. Indians have always been their own worst enemy. In any case, it's looking like the Chinese will beat them to it...
Zi_Mishkal t1_j7tcawe wrote
I'm seeing this not as a rapid rise, but a two year dip in an otherwise gradual rise due to covid.
Indeed there may not be any rise at all when you consider that some of the last year are students finishing up their academic careers overseas. In other words what percentage of those students would have gone overseas in the previous two years. Uncover that and you have interesting data. Right now all you are telling me is that people dont travel during a global pandemic.
