US considers $100,000 charge for international graduates seeking work; 3.6 lakh Indian students could be impacted

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the Donald Trump administration is weighing a proposal to impose a $100,000 (approximately ₹95.43 lakh) fee on foreign students aiming to work in the United States post-graduation. This potential charge would be linked to the Optional Practical Training (OPT) program, which currently grants students the ability to work for a period of one to three years. Estimates suggest this policy change could impact as many as 3.6 lakh Indian students currently pursuing their education in the US.
