Number of Indian students joining US engineering colleges declines

Number of Indian students joining US engineering colleges declines

HIGHLIGHTS

• International students enrolled in US universities declined by approximately 4% between 2016 and 2017
• Indian student enrolment in US declined by 21% last year
• Report indicated that the Trump administration's restrictive visa and work policies had affected prospects of attracting and retaining bright foreign students
  
   
  
  BENGALURU: The number of students from India enrolled in graduate level programmes in computer science and engineering in the United States has declined by 21 per cent from 2016 to 2017, according to a study by the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP), based on data from the US Department of Homeland Security.
  The NFAP said the number of international students enrolled in US universities declined by approximately 4% between 2016 and 2017, and more than half of this could be attributed to fewer individuals from India studying computer science and engineering at the graduate level in 2017.
  
  Indian graduate students completing degrees in science and engineering at US universities are a major source of talent for US firms.
  
  The report of the NFAP, a non-profit, non-partisan public policy research organisation in Virginia, indicated that the Donald Trump administration's restrictive visa and work policies had affected the prospects of attracting and retaining bright foreign students making a significant contribution to the US economy. The report said the Narendra Modi government's demonetisation move - which led to severe cash shortage - might have played a role in the sharp decline in Indian student enrolment. But it ruled this out as a major cause, considering that the number of Indian students going to the US for undergraduate programmes in computer science and engineering increased by about 740 .

  Students from India mostly go to the United States for graduate programmes (leading to a post-graduate degree), than for undergraduate programmes. The ministry of external affairs estimates that there were 206,708 Indian students studying in the US in 2017."News reports and other information about the US limiting the ability of international students to gain employment after completing their studies could be discouraging enrolment," the NFAP report said.
  
   
  
  TOP COMMENT
  
  It is a fallacy to think that life is more profitable in the US. For IT folks, it is a wash. But Indians go to the US because of three reasons. 1. Their productivity finds no respect in India. India ... Read MorePutSomeNameHere
  
  
  Further, it said: "The key to remember is that international students have more choices than ever before about where to study and US policies on immigration and international students have an impact on those choices."
  
   
  
  
  To the extent the US makes it more difficult to work after graduation or imposes other restrictive policies it is less likely that international students choose America as their destination," it said, adding, "fewer international students coming to the US will have a serious impact on US students and US universities, as well as American companies "and our country's role as a centre of science and innovation."

Engineering students look at BPO options in campus placement

Engineering students look at BPO options in campus placement

Preetu Nair| TNN | Mar 8, 2018, 20:28 IST

 

KOCHI: With the several major IT companies cutting down on recruitments from many of the engineering campuses in Ernakulam, the colleges are now looking at BPOs to ensure that their students get a job soon after the course.
However, unlike the IT companies that is offering increased salary this year compared to earlier years, the salary offered by BPOs is as low as Rs 12,000 to Rs 13,000. Though not encouraged in engineering campus in the past, now faced with bleak job opportunities in the changing economic scenario, they are welcoming whoever comes to the campus with a job offer.

"Major IT companies have gone to only limited number of campuses and where they have gone, they have cut down on the number of jobs offered. Start-ups have shown interest. But even as they interview 300 to 400 students, they only give offer letter to 2 to 3 students. The BPOs are coming to recruit students in large numbers and many are accepting the job offer, even as they try to get a better job offer in an engineering company," said Jenty Joy, vice-chairman of Consortium of Technical Institutes for Placement Services, Kerala and head (corporate relation) of SNG College of Engineering, Kolencherry.

Engineering colleges said that while the cream get offers from good IT firms, it is those with poor academic performance who have to settle for a job in the BPO. "Though all the students do appear for an interview in a BPO firm, only 10 % to 15 % accept the job offer," said Mahendra KS, placement officer, KMEA College of Engineering. However, to get a job in BPO, the student needs to be good in spoken English along with communication skills.

 

Most placement officers said that number of companies coming for campus placement has increased, the number of students who have been offered job has actually gone down. "So far 60 % students have got placement. Though this is a down from 75 % last year, the pay package has increased for many from Rs 3.5 lakh per annum to Rs 6.5 lakh per annum. It is IT and Computer Science students who are in demand," said Biju Paul, placement officer, Rajagiri School of Engineering and Technology.

 

The companies are looking for students with specific skills and advanced training in java, android, ios is an added advantage. "They are not really interested in hiring an engineering graduate whom they have to train. They want students with skills," added Paul.

 

Also to familiarise their students with the industry, colleges are promoting internship program generally after the third year. "But even they have to clear a test conducted by the company for being selected for internship," added Joy.
