Why are there so many software engineers graduating from India.?

Question

Indian S/W engineers have so much of oppurchinities abroad.
Is the education system so bad in western countries that adequete Engineers do not pass out or is it that Students do not prefer these options and concentrate on business and arts.

Answer 1

Part of the reason is that their culture looks favorably on sciences and mathematics. They get a lot of encouragement to complete science and math degrees. Both science and math are important components in engineering classes.

Of course, if you attend a college graduation in the US, you will find that Asian and Indian students make up a large percentage of graduates in the US also.

My own opinion is that in the US we care less about science, and so we don't encourage kids to learn about it.

Answer 2

The education system in the west is fine; Indian graduates are willing to work for next-to-nothing, and western companies know it. As a result, they hire four Indian programmers for what one well-trained western programmer would command. Those of us who trained and have a degree in computer science in the 70s, 80s, and 90s are largely out of work in our original fields, and after spending many thousands of dollars on our education. Knowing this to be true, it's simply not worth the cost of studying computer science in the west to get a job that doesn't pay enough to live on in the west, so nobody gets a degree in the field any longer. If anything, western students simply get a certification (far superior, in my experience, to the "degree" that most Indian engineers have).

The west has paid a price for this, however; if you call technical support for almost any large company today, you get an Indian technician in Bangalore who can't speak English, can't think on his feet, and can't give any answer except the canned one that pops up on his computer screen. Big computer companies are losing considerable business because nobody wants to talk to a tech that hasn't got a clue. Indian software "engineers" are the joke of the computer industry in the west now, sad to say. Cheap wages buy cheap quality labor; I don't know of a single western-trained engineer or computer scientist who has so much as a modicum of respect for Indian "engineers" who have lowered the standards of service and quality of programming in the west for everyone.

Answer 3

The Indian goverment saw a gap in the market and decided the cost effective way to educate people was software engineering - it works out cheaper to educate software engineers than lets say Mechanical / Electrical / Chemical Engineers (equipment / workshop etc. needed). one computer / software package can train / be used 24/7 - 365 days a year at a cost of c$1000.
Other engineers need - test equipment / machinery / labs etc at a higher cost. (The UK education systems gives costs for each type of training and engineers are very high cost to train)

Answer 4

India is the second most populous country in the world. It has 1,095,351,995 people.. 300million short from china and 3 times more than there is in US. Lot of them are trying hard to abolish the casts (kasta) and trying to make their family live more cosier. Two years ago, India people that lives in poverty has lessen 1-2%.. that means 10-20 million have migrated from under to over the poverty line.

Answer 5

Software enginering has fallen out of graces with engineering students. The market is getting saturated and it doesn't pay as well as other branches.

Answer 6

Indians like white scholar jobs a lot.
A/C Cabin, free pc, good salary etc.......
Where do u get these? IT and computer field.

Answer 7

Its part of the Bigger Plan.......;-(
