美国国土安全部学生与交流访问者信息系统(SEVIS)最新月度数据显示,2026年10月在美活跃国际学生共 1,192,572 人,较2025年10月的 1,283,240 人减少 90,668 人,降幅约7.1%。数据于11月初公布,印度仍是美国最大的国际学生来源国,中国居第二。
印度学生从 366,258 人降至 316,893 人,减少 49,365 人,降幅13.5%,占全部国际学生的比重由约28.5%降至26.6%。中国学生从 245,038 人降至 220,157 人,降幅10.2%。尼泊尔学生从 35,273 人降至 33,992 人。
印度学生中降幅最大的是硕士层级,从 292,929 人降至 234,034 人,降幅约20%;本科层级从 38,522 人降至 36,011 人;博士层级则逆势从 28,609 人增至 41,729 人。印度学生中男性 195,341 人、女性 121,552 人。
SEVIS 记录的是某一时点在系统内状态活跃的学生,包含正在参加毕业实习(OPT)的学生,是月度快照而非全年累计数。这一下降发生在美国收紧学生签证审查、并拟对 OPT 申请征收新费用的背景下。非营利组织 Indiaspora 10月30日表示,赴美留学的印度学生人数正在下降。

Active International Students in the U.S. Fall by More Than 90,000 in a Year: SEVIS Count Drops to 1.19 Million, Indian Students Down 13.5%
The latest monthly data from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS), released in early November, show 1,192,572 active international students in the United States in October 2026, down 90,668, or about 7.1 percent, from 1,283,240 in October 2025. India remained the largest source of international students, followed by China.
Indian students fell by 49,365, from 366,258 to 316,893, a drop of 13.5 percent, and their share of all international students eased from about 28.5 percent to 26.6 percent. Chinese students fell 10.2 percent, from 245,038 to 220,157. Nepali students declined from 35,273 to 33,992.
Among Indian students, the steepest fall was at the master's level, down about 20 percent from 292,929 to 234,034; bachelor's enrollment eased from 38,522 to 36,011; doctoral enrollment rose against the trend, from 28,609 to 41,729. Indian students included 195,341 men and 121,552 women.
SEVIS records are a monthly snapshot of students with active status in the system, including those on Optional Practical Training (OPT), rather than a cumulative annual total. The decline comes amid tighter student-visa scrutiny in the United States and a proposal to charge new fees for OPT. The nonprofit network Indiaspora said on October 30 that the number of Indian students going to the United States for study is declining.
