Increasing numbers of Indian students are finding it challenging to secure long-term, skilled employment opportunities abroad despite pursuing higher education in foreign countries. Many travel with the expectation of utilizing their qualifications in a professional capacity, but frequently end up in temporary or contract-based positions. This discrepancy stems from a mismatch between the skills acquired and the demands of the international job market, alongside visa restrictions impacting permanent residency options. Experts suggest a need for better career guidance and alignment of educational programs with global employment trends. The situation raises concerns about the return on investment for students and their families, as well as the potential for exploitation in precarious work arrangements. This trend highlights systemic issues within international education and immigration policies affecting Indian graduates.
