Indian Graduate Outcomes Report 2019
According to the Indian Graduate Outcomes Report, 2019, released on Wednesday, 51 percent of all Indians graduating from the United Kingdom say they earn above or well above average compared to their contemporaries in India.
Over 1,000 Indians and a total of 16,000 students from different nationalities who had completed their studies between January 2011 and July 2016 were surveyed to understand their experience of studying in the UK, their satisfaction with their education and their current jobs.
The respondents include citizens from the United States of America, China, India, Germany, Nigeria, Greece, Malaysia, Italy, France and Romania.
Job satisfaction higher in UK
"The job satisfaction of UK graduates is higher because chances of getting the job of one's choice markedly increase. I think this also leads to more effective work performance and logically, more recognition for one's work," Director Universities UK International (UUKi) Vivienne Stern said.
Increase in Indian students going to UK
According to the latest immigration statistics released by the UK Home Office, there has been a 42 percent increase in the number of Indian students going to the UK for studies.
A delegation of senior representatives from 20 UK universities is currently in India to engage Indian stakeholders to understand the vision and priority areas of the Indian government, governing bodies and higher education institutes to assess the role UK universities and the country can play to further strengthen the relationship and identify shared priorities for future collaboration particularly in education and research.
The visit is part of a higher education-focused bilateral programme -- UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI) -- helmed by the British Council.
