One out of every hundred Indians move in search of education according to previous census data. Students are moving from one state to another in search of quality education and institutions and prestigious public universities. India is a multicultural nation with a rich cultural heritage. Due to the country's numerous regions, dialects, traditions, and religions, India's culture is very different from that of other nations. India's diverse cultures are influenced by historical, geographical, and social factors. In accordance with the increasing magnitude of educational migration between Indian states, there is a rising need to study the psychological factors which help students to survive and learn in new and diverse cultural settings. This paper explores the studies on cultural intelligence and resilience which can influence the academic performance of migrant students. Future studies in India must focus on these factors which motivate and help the students to survive in a new culture.
