Indian Student Records

Indian students pursued a range of studies in Great Britain, particularly in Law, Medicine, and in technical fields. Although many individual colleges tried to keep their numbers down, Indians at first came manly to oxford, Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh universities. In the early 20th century the South Asian students also went to Glasgow University and the Manchester School of Technology.

Therefore, it may be useful to consult the admission registers of these universities. Oxbridge details are supplied in the ten volumes of John & J.A. Venn's Alumni Cantabrigienses (Cambridge University Press, 1922-54), and the eight volumes of Joseph Foster's Alumni Oxonienses (James Parker & O., 1888-91). From 1880 to 1913, the total number of Indian students in Britain expanded from approximately 100 to 1700.
