  1. Fall Intake in USA 2025: Everything You Need to Know The Fall term is the defacto semester of choice and acceptance for most international students, including those from countries like India. This academic session has unfortunately brought with it an unprecedented challenge that has taken the wind out of everyone’s sails: an estimated 1.5 lakh (150,000) students are likely to miss semester in the US in 2025, thanks to visa-related uncertainties, stronger refusals and policy changes. This post is rounded up to provide a detailed insight into Fall intake in USA 2025 - timelines, application process, challenges, impact & strategising advice.

Indian students in particular had experienced something of a drought in appointments, that is, as final deadlines approached. The F-1 visa approvals fell by 12% from January– April 2025, and May register a 22% decrease in comparison to last year. Unofficial data for June foresaw cuts of up to 90% as the disruptions bit. The challenges faced here have a disproportionate effect around the world for the simple reason that India and China make up almost half of the United States’ international student enrollment. The predicted drop in new international enrollments for Fall 2025 is once again stunning – 30–40% less in the nine host nations – – with over 150,000 students (many Indian) postponing or canceling their study plans.
