Even as Indian students juggle their college and personal lives, there is a lot of travel that is influencing everything around them. While some want to go on solo trips, others are planning them with their friends.

New insights by travel company GoIbibo has revealed fascinating differences in how female and male students travel, pay, and plan, based on bookings made by 50,000 verified student travellers through its dedicated Student GoPass program since January 2025. 

The booking patterns indicate that the student demographic is price-conscious and digital-first, but within the same, there is a nuanced divide between the two genders, especially when it comes to mode of transport and payment preferences.
