Do you see the overseas flight of stu- dents to regular attractive destinations picking up once again? In the Indian higher education space, migration is mostly outbound. With international travel being restrict- ed from India, the situation is not so conducive for an overseas flight of stu- dents. The psychological impact of the second wave has made parents reluctant to send their children far away. This applies to domestic relocation as well. As a result of these factors, we don’t expect any extraordinary flight of students even to destinations like the US, the UK, Australia and Canada.
