"I think that's one of the attractions. Certainly, it's no secret that the cost of education in the United States is increasing and it's pretty high. Part of it is the increasing awareness of the value and quality of education in India," Anand Krishna, Information Officer with the US Consulate General here told reporters. According to a data released by United States India Educational Foundation ( USIEF), there has been a 44.4 per cent increase in the number of American students studying in Indian universities.
