As Trump Targets Foreign Student Enrollment At Harvard; Top Asian Universities Where Indian Students Can Turn Next
Last Updated: Indian students can consider top Asian universities for their higher studies as tensions grow between the Trump administration and Ivy League universities in the US. In a significant blow to international education, the Trump administration has barred Harvard University from enrolling foreign students, leaving the future of thousands of aspirants in uncertainty. This development comes amid months of tension between Harvard and the US government over the university's policies on campus programming, hiring, and diversity practices. The administration has criticised Harvard for allegedly fostering antisemitism on campus and promoting what it terms 'racist diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices." The result: a sweeping move that now prohibits one of the world's most prestigious universities from admitting international students for the upcoming academic session, which is just three months away. As uncertainty looms over US university admissions, many Indian students are rethinking their plans and turning to high-ranking institutions in Asia that offer world-class education without political turbulence. Universities across Singapore, China, Japan, and South Korea are emerging as attractive alternatives due to their global reputation, stable policies, and increasing international student support. If you're an Indian student exploring options beyond the US, here's some good news — the Times Higher Education Asia University Rankings 2025 lists several Asian institutions among the best globally. From the National University of Singapore to Tsinghua University in China, these universities offer cutting-edge research, globally recognized degrees, and a diverse student environment.

Sunway University leads the way in graduate employability and Asean university rankings
Sunway University has once again secured the top spot in the Graduate Employability Index by Talentbank, marking its fourth consecutive year as Malaysia's leading university for graduate employability. The university is especially recognised for excellence in Business, Accounting, Computer Science, Hospitality, Culinary Arts, Communication and Psychology. Talentbank's National Graduate Employability Index serves as a benchmark for evaluating the employability of graduates from higher education institutions in Malaysia. The index is based on employer surveys that explore key aspects such as preferred universities for recruitment, the number of graduates hired and whether employers intend to continue hiring from the same institutions. This latest achievement comes shortly after Sunway University was also named the top non-government linked private university in Asean by the Times Higher Education (THE) Asia University Rankings 2025. The varsity made a remarkable leap from its previous placement in the 201–250 band to being ranked #141 in Asia, solidifying its position among the Top 150 universities in the region. Sunway University president Prof Sibrandes Poppema said, 'Being recognised once more as Malaysia's leading university for graduate employability plus the huge recognition from Times Higher as the number one non-government linked private university in Asean, reaffirms our mission to deliver education that is relevant, forward-thinking and deeply connected to industry needs. 'These achievements are also underpinned by our Sunway Signature Collection project, bringing together a portfolio of programmes which include career-focused content, live projects and hands-on experiences, empowering students to shape their own career paths with confidence. 'Coupled with Sunway University's education and research efforts, we aim to create local and global impact that are aligned to improving lives and driving sustainable development for a healthier planet,' he added.
