Exponential Rise in IIT/NIT students opting for abroad studies/jobs.....NEW TRENDS VISIBLE

Trend recently observed by my team was quite surprising......

Exponential rise was visible in the number of students (BTech, M Tech, MS & PhD) going abroad for higher education and PhD Jobs

Another new trend visible was the foreign destination where these professionals are heading ....new destinations were Japan, Scandinavian nations like Norway Sweden, Taiwan, China, Italy etc

The rise was highest in life sciences domains including bio medical, biotechnology, biochemistry followed by food technology, basic sciences like chemistry, physics & maths

Another trend visible was students preferring direct PhD options more than MS in these universities ...

After analysis, we can think of the following points for such new trends.....

1. Easy to seek fully funded opportunities post covid with wonderful scholarships....where you can save more than what you can earn in India
2. No need of any exam like GRE IELTS TOEFL etc
3. Easy to get professors on Linkdln etc instead of cumbersome process of applications in universities
4. Lack of quality job opportunities in congested job pockets like Bangalore, Gurugram etc
5. Youngsters looking for quality of life and their comparison with their peers in developed nations
6. Work culture prevailing in these countries like PhD scholar can afford home and car and enjoy on weekends
7. Opportunities post graduations ...like jobs in industries
8. International exposure
9. Prestige associated with foreign education is immense......I have done PhD or MS from Purdue USA and I have done PhD from IIT KGP ....sounds different?
10. Why direct PhD instead of MS? May be $3500 per month in pocket and 10K job after PhD compared to 5K after MS

"Indian going abroad and doing great is always good for them their family and nation and I strongly support that"

these were some of my observations and analysis ......ur comments will be appreciated ....thanks
