“The United Kingdom’s certificate alone will not secure a job”: The lecturer reveals the reason for the difficulties of Indian students to find work in Britain, and he returns 90 % to the homeland

The explicit notes of the lecturer in the UK raised an online discussion about the challenges facing Indian students when following up on higher education in Britain. After publishing on Reddit, the lecturer-who is a double British citizen-shed light on the common conflicts of Indian students, including communication barriers, lack of participation in studies, and outperforming a part-time work.

The lecturer pointed out that the vast majority of Indian students come to the United Kingdom to obtain a master’s degree for one year with the aim of securing permanent jobs and ultimately stability in the country. However, based on their personal observations, the author indicated that many fail to understand that the United Kingdom’s degree alone is not enough for the work process. The lecturer wrote, “Employers want more”, stressing that students need strong communication skills, confidence and critical thinking capabilities to emerge in a competitive labor market.

Instead of focusing on skills development, the lecturer noted that many Indian students give priority to part -time jobs to cover living expenses, often at the expense of courses. “They do not participate, do not properly complete the courses, and give priority to earning money on developing their skills,” I read the post. The lecturer also indicated that many students are negative in their learning, dedicated to the semester discussions, and hesitated to communicate with their community – the factors that significantly reduce their employment.

This post has sparked a large -scale discussion, as some agreed that Indian students need to focus more on professional growth, while others argue that financial pressures make work part -time a necessity. In response to a question, the author of the post claims that about 90 % of students return to India after they are unable to secure jobs.

“Employers already have stereotypes for Indian students, and unfortunately, many current students enhance by showing a little initiative, bad communication skills, and not participating in their studies,” I read Reddit Post. They warned that unless students fully benefit from their education, develop soft skills, and build professional links, many of them will struggle to secure jobs in the United Kingdom and may eventually have to return home.

What official characters say

It is worth noting that the 2023 case report from the Social Mobility Committee determined that people from Chinese, mixed, Indian, black, African and “other ethnic groups” were more vulnerable to obtaining a university degree than the British Caribbean and black people from the same social and economic background. “However, this does not always translate into better professional results,” the report added.

According to the official figures of the UK government published last year, “88.3 % of people from the Indian ethnic group were in constant work, more study, or both.”

Moreover, after five years of graduation, people from white ethnic groups (88.0 %) and Indian groups (86.7 %) were probably in constant work, more study, or that official data showed, while Arab people (12.8 %) and black (11.0 %) of ethnic groups most likely had.
