- Indian students in the United States, including those from the elite Ivy League universities, are struggling to land jobs and even internships this summer amid a slowdown in job growth in the world's largest economy. US-based author Soundarya Balasubramani spoke with NDTV's Parmeshwar Bawa to discuss how Indians abroad are affected. She explains that "over-hiring" during the Covid pandemic and the extra steps required for work sponsorships lead to employers preferring locals over international students.

The question should be why Indian students not getting jobs in "INDIA"
😍😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Because India IT industry is run by body shopping companies. Not much funds allocated for R&D projects. There are very few home grown research and development companies.
@@gangadharanr RandD in india ... who will do it ?
Indian education is as useless as education in the US! Individual efforts to gain skills get the students employed, Protesting on streets is not skill that gets jobs 😂
Very valid question. It must be asked why there are no jobs in India.
Any one in the US is struggling to get a job here. It’s not just Indians
International students or any other immigrant that goes through proper channels, are the ones that are facing issues. Locals, if talented, could easily get a job. There are a lot of startups that don't even know about the sponsorships. So when they hear the words "I am looking for sponsorship", they reply that they will get back to you and ghost you forever.
Marry a GORI and get your immigration. This is exactly what I did 33 years ago. Things will be much easier. Look out for one and you will get it. But, you need to speak, breathe and think the YANKEE perspective, then.
@@avijitbasu5789 - If you are willing to marry a not educated Gori in a struggling clerical / restaurant job there is a possibility to hook up .
@@avijitbasu5789Keep your sad life to yourself.
@@bipradipbasu2112 oh middle class Bengali!!! Who said I am sad? I have succeded at every phase of my life. Whether it is in India or USA or Germany. For your kind information , I am 64. I am retired from faculty responsibilities, in October of this year. No worries my 401 K plan is ready. My family life is full of cheers. Nothing to worry about. You are a loser . For this reason you envy my success. Oh my poor community brother. But, I do not blame you. My own younger brother and cousins in Kolkata could not TOLERATE my success. Because I could not fit in their game plan. Because I had a very low first division in grade 12 they thought that my career is over. But, times change....😆😆😆😆😆😆
I thought India was the 5th largest economy why can’t India provide jobs? I agree hire locals first.
Stop your Universities scam first. You bankrupt students first then when they look for jobs the world's largest economy tries to blackmail and impose stringent measures on companies that hire students cum highly skilled foreign professionals over hiring a local bullshit fad. This is not how global economy work
Cos of illegal immigrants from BangelyDes
Makes no difference how large Indian economy is. High paying jobs are in the USA.
Illegal Migration of Bangladeshis and Rohingyas
Becuz of overpopulated done by up/Bihari lol. And baniyas who do baniya businesses. Msot IT, healthcare, corporate businesses are not run by baniyas actually. U need manufacturing, service sector jobs. And India struggles in that@@gogadev
Its not indians only. It is effecting everyone
Didn't you watched the video dude?? Internationals have to deal with visa complications, sponsorships and God knows what else.
So many American citizens are not getting jobs as Indian companies bring H1B visa candidates to fill up jobs.
How dare you are worried about students from India not getting jobs in a country where they came to get higher education!!!!
What a stupid comment. If, despite so many advantages and privileges, an American citizen is not getting a job, then he/she is a loser. Do not compare a loser unemployed American to hardworking and enterprising Indians who have the visa system rigged against them, but still manage to find jobs. If you have problems with how H1B works, speak to your government. If the government does not respond, it means you are a nobody whose opinion does not matter.
All over the world people think USA is very rich country and it’s responsibility to give jobs to Students from other nations
@@sreenathatirunarayanapura9296 That is their wrong perception.
The law allows them to seek jobs. It is not like they are breaking the law.
These day, I think Indian students are really just better off staying in India. The US just isn't worth it anymore, because the waiting period to get a Green Card is over 100 years. A lot of Indians in the US are just stressed out and it's really senseless to stay considering opportunities in India have gotten so much better.
and yet a lot of indians dont come back despite the long waiting times to get GC...what explains that?
@@counterpoint9260 About 10% - 15% do come back very disappointed. Don't know why the rest stay over there. Maybe they found a job to keep them there?
I am of Indian origin, this is the reality here, jobs are disappearing. Furthermore i agree the first jobs should go to Americans.
As soon as dedollarization will come in there will be lots of job in the USA, the illegals have been brought in for the purpose.
I fail to understand why Indians are so desperate to move to USA? Believe me that when I came to USA, in1987, I did not realise that I made a huge mistake. Today, 37 years later, I long for India and thinking to return to my motherland. There is plenty of development in India. MY HEART BEATS FOR INDIA. As soon as my 401 k plan starts I will ho to India and spend time from October to April, each year. Young generation take my advice. West is a HOLLOW spiritually. The true NIRVANNA lies in the East. Do not make the mistake that I committed 37 years ago.
Thanks for saying that job should first go to Americans!!!
@@avijitbasu5789 who is stopping you to come to India. Why don't you return for once and for all? What's with this Oct through Apr stay? You want to escape the cold, is all.
@@user-dp48ry5 I have my family in USA. In addition, summer is extreme in India. I cannot withstand the HEAT of India and extreme WINTER of NYC, at this age. But, I love India. I made a huge mistake not returning after getting my Masters degree, in 1989. In addition, if I stay permanently in India, my PRNSION SCHEMES may get frozen.
The jobs should go only for US born Americans
Agreed
How about U.S born Others 👍🤘🏼
@@ShravanKumar-bm7wqWhen some one is born in US, by law they are American citizen and they are Americans regardless of their parent's original nationality.
@breeks2116 then stop alluring Indian students to study in the USA who pay hefty amounts for their education to contribute to your economy! USA should stop this scam then you have all right to say “ USA jobs should only go to Americans “
Yes
Why does NDTV still upload stretched 4:3 non HD videos?!

Not only in US and even applicable to UK also😂😂😂
The Indians swarmed the US and other developed nations
Indians swarm developed, developing, underdeveloped, all kinds of nation.

Same in the UK. They are now everywhere, in any major city with a university and they speak Hindi all the time.
Hindi is going to become Britain's official language in a couple of years if this keeps on happening.
Britain needs to put a strict cap on student visas.
@@MarcusCato275 mass deportations
@@MarcusCato275 Same in Portugal, and our far right party is up to close to 20% mainly because of them.
Same thing happening in UK as well
Who cares we need to focus on America's getting jobs in America. There are plenty of qualified workers here in the US especially for technical jobs.
Even experienced people are not finding jobs.. Indian job market is definitely better at this moment.
Seriously, you need to research better- there doesn't need to be a "message received" from high office to hire local talent first. That's one of the PRIMARY requirements for a H-1B visa. The employer has to prove that they have been unable to find a citizen or a permanent resident to fill the position, which is why they're looking at those from other countries. Foreigners were hired indiscriminately 20 years ago- not today, with American students going for stem-based degrees, we have plenty of US talent to fill our positions. The question you should ask is, why are these Indian students not able to secure employment in India, or are so unwilling to return to India after their education.
Because Indian education system is garbage. Plus, the so-called 'India Story' exists only on social media. Nobody believes in it in real life.
If you know you are not going to get job after graduation then why do you spend millions of dollars coming to the US. Instead you should do all your post graduate studies in India and save your parents millions of hard earned forex. It is high time we start having faith in our universities in India. Our parents doing a big mistake sending children overseas and losing them completely after a few years.
Well said!
If India is booming like they tell us, shouldn't these graduates return to India to fill the jobs there?
they can't, the loan taken to pay the university fees is so high they won't land a salary enough to pay that in India.
it's literally the currency difference
It's a hassle going abroad anymore

Great Insight NDTV
What happened to India Superpower? 😂
India is a doomed nation. No jobs .
Ridiculous! What's so special about them? What about the restraint of most Americans?
What does shee mean by 90 days unemployment period after graduation? Does she mean that you should come back if you don't land a job on opt after 90 days post graduation?
Too much Indian crowd everywhere
Most of them are with IT background.
AI is replacing most of the software development related work.
Hence proved !
Local people do hourly services $25/hr or more, gardening, baby sitting, repairs, cooking etc. jobs. Passed out students too can do such jobs.
😂wow this is latest news
Indian students no need to fear about job markets in US , because it was a cycle every 10 to 12 years economy will slide or ups ,
So it is quite normal to every country.
It will revemp soon.
US aspiring student should choose good ranking universities is important,
Sab kuch in mohtarma ke 3 hi hai😑😂

I really pity those Andhra students who spent 100 thousand dollars for a 2 year masters degree and now having to work on OPT CPT for 3 years with the hope of getting through H1B visa lottery which has a 10 % probability. There is no chance in hell that they can repay education loan from Indian salaries if they are forced to go back. Remember Narayan Murthy pays 1 dollar per hour salary and makes you work for 70 hours per week in India. My suggestion is to find a girl friend so that you get 6 chances as a couple to crack H1B visa lottery. If one partner gets H1B, get married and other person can work on H4 EAD.
You pity why they go to US and you also give them tips to settle there. 😅
American girlfriend is better.
@@andriartayudianto8918 That will make no difference unless you are married and she is your wife.
@@ppen8359 Well, it would be a step in the right direction.
Many students from AP are spending their parents' black money to come to the US.
They went to study not for working
I lot of employers are cancelling their diversity or DEI programs 🎉
Why should they get jobs here? Simply because they came to study here? American students are also finding it harder to get jobs here. Do they have an option to go to India?
They are welcome to compete in India
Lol
Imagine if we Indians boycott USA for higher studies what repercussions will US economy face ? What’s the point for an Indian student spending hefty amount in studying abroad n not getting jobs there ?
And don’t forget that Indian students and professionals constitute 30% of the USA economy
@uauu9099 so choose your words wisely!
Grass is no more greener on other side
Hmm it's much greener here in the US! Like 100x greener
Things are going to get worse. Some parents may be happy that their kids are coming back.
As a us it recruiter i confirm it. The market is so bad that getting 1 placement in a 3 month of time is a tough call!!
I dont get the logic of going to US , when most of the American, European, and other international companies have opened their offices in India for executing all big and critical Projects. American dream is an old school thought that is not sought anymore by Indians who are educationaly and professionally well performing in India itself.
Waise bhi yhn konsi mil rahi thi.
If companies overtired during pandemic, they would not fire more people than they had before it. Not only IT but marketing, HR, and others have been massively laid off. Not only juniors but 5, 10, 30 years serving in companies.
Actually its not H1B. Students graduating from US university will get a 3 year work permit.
US citizens/ Green Card holders in that order, students should be at the bottom of the totem pole/ may return after studies as should be expected.
What is news anchor name ❤❤❤❤

If India is shining so much under MODI why you are looking for jobs here ? Go back
I have two Kerala students finished IT SUNY Buffalo college they landed fantastic jobs and now even politics matters the present Indian government negative attitude towards USA that’s another factor we use to hire Indian international students past two years not in the list they hired other south East Asian students it’s is it what is it sorry guys for the geopolitical tension
I'm surprised they did not talk about the AI effect on STEM job market.
At 3:34 she's wrong. No, jobs aren't getting more plentiful. The opposite is true.
Work permit is the problem, people think that they will start making money if they do masters here. It was true 10 years back. Now it is over competition,
Lot of students come from different parts of world now and even lot of US citizens are Pershing career in stem.
You have to know all these years lot of people set up body shopping companies and dud under table dealings to secure a job and continue staying even without and illegally maintaining legal status . H1 was set up for doing a project and returning once done but people never left and used illegal ways to stay. Those who gained experience now take multiple jobs and outsource to people in India without the knowledge of the employer . This fraud has increased since H4 ead . That's why there are no jobs
Lot of Indians fudge their resumes and put 10 yes exp. As soon as they come out of college , sponsorship docs are fudged, Etc. , this is due to the greed of the body shopping companies who get a cut . Without addressing all these , this problem won't be solved
Indians should stay in India and get a job there
Terrible grammar. Cannot follow anything you are saying. No structure in your sentences. Did anyone in your team do journalism and English.. doesn’t sound like it.

Well the three top reasons Indian students find it a challenge are:
1. They do not plan in advance, target and apply in time. The season starts at least 4-6 months before graduation. But Indian students invariably wait till they graduate before applying, which is too late already.
2. They do not learn how to market themselves to prospective employers. Many universities have placement counselors who teach how to get ready with a marketing/sales pitch, but Indian students in general do not take advantage of such facilities.
3. They do not follow up on job leads or referrals effectively. Indian students invariably send an email, and wait for a response, and do not vigorously follow up to find out the status.
bro... people are aware, prepared, have good contacts, and skilled like never before... problem is job market is very bad. following are reason.
1)mass hiring during covid, so everyone is being fired now
2) more indians can afford US education, so higher competition among indians to get h1b visas.
3) AI making most work easier, so 2 people can do the work of 3 people, making 1 person useless/jobless.
even skilled Americans have hard tie finding entry level jobs.
And yet, thousands of students in the US (including those from China, India, and other countries) find good jobs upon graduation. Most often it’s because of their focus, planning, and positioning. Job markets have their ups and downs, but it’s how you prepare ahead and position yourself that determines success.
@@Ram_Lakshmanan you still don't get it the country can't give job to the skilled.
Let's say 100 graduate, 50 are skilled Till 2022, all the 50 will get job and 20 from unskilled will get trainee opportunity
After 2022, only 10 in that skilled will get a job. 90 don't get a good job. Please do some study.

The guest speaker merely agreed to what the reporter was asking. No more insights! She said what we all know. A slow job market, pandemic and blahh.
Why are people who cross the border illegally getting work permits? If H1b visa holders lose their jobs the grace period to find another job is only 60 days. Who can find a job in 60 days? It has been shown each H1b worker creates 2-4 jobs in related STEM fields and contribute massively to economy. US universities charge full fees to Indian students and give subsidies to others and will collapse if they didn’t recruit them. Industries will collapse without the H1b from India who get the most patents and pay into Social Security and Medicare.This is discrimination
It's legal to discriminate against non-citizen . 🐿️
