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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Indian Number

1 hazar= 1 Thousand

1 Lakh= 100 Thousand

1 Crore= 10 Million

1 Arab= 1Billion/100 Crore

1 hazar crore= 10 Billion/Arab

1 Kharab=100Billion/100 Arab/10 Hazar Crore

1 Lakh Crore= 1 Trillion/10 Kharab

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.
