Mumbai is the top student city in India. The city ranked 118th overall, up from 103rd in the previous year. Delhi is the second most student-friendly city in India, ranking 132nd. Bengaluru and Chennai ranked 147th and 154th, respectively.
QS ranked cities on six parameters: university rankings, student mix, desirability, employer activity, affordability, and student voice. Mumbai scored well in all of these categories, but its affordability was particularly impressive. The city is home to some of the best universities in India, and it also offers a diverse range of cultural and entertainment options.
Delhi is the second most affordable student city in India, and it also offers a number of world-class universities. Bengaluru is known for its thriving startup scene, while Chennai is a popular destination for students of engineering and technology.
All of the Indian cities in the QS rankings have seen a drop from their previous rankings. This is likely due to the increasing cost of living in India, as well as the growing competition from other student cities around the world.
Despite the drop in rankings, Indian cities remain popular destinations for international students. The country’s rich culture, delicious food, and vibrant nightlife are all major draws.
