Summed across the 161 universities that report students from India, from HESA’s eleven-year extract of Table 28. HESA rounds every cell to the nearest 5 and suppresses the smallest, so this may differ by a few students from the 144,175 above, which comes from the single-year extract. Neither is an estimate; they are two published tables.

UK universities by students from the selected country: provider, students from that country, its share of their non-UK cohort, and their total non-UK students.

Student counts: HESA, non-UK permanent address students by HE provider and country of permanent address, 2024/25, CC BY 4.0, rounded to the nearest 5.

Permanent address is not the same as nationality, fee status or visa route — a student with a permanent address in one country may hold another passport.
