There are different issues that are being faced by international students and they are described as below-

Bunkum norms for maintaining documents are introduced by the Government.

Documents like proof of identity, financial support, passport images, and immigration document are added to the list of necessities.

Further, a condition is added that a student enrolled in a full-time course can work, thereby excluding the part-time course students.

A student usually doesn’t have access to a lot of contacts in a foreign land and the domestic students refrain from indulging into a social network with the International Students, this leads to inconsistency.

More Human Capital needs to be inculcated in the system so as to ensure a smooth redressal and grievance mechanism.
