British lecturing observations based in the UK has triggered an online discussion on challenges facing Indian students while studying university education in Britain. The lecturer is a dual British citizen, triggered the common struggle of Indian students, including communication barriers, lack of engagement in studies and excessive emphasis on part-time work.
The lecturer noted that the vast majority of Indian students come to Great Britain for an annual master's degree to ensure permanent jobs and eventually settle in the country. On the basis of their personal observations, however, the author noted that many could not understand that the British title itself is not enough to land employment. “Employers want more,” the lecturer wrote, stressing that students need strong communication skills, trust and the ability of critical thinking to excel in the competitive labor market.
Instead of focusing on the development of skills, the lecturer noted that many Indian students prefer part -time jobs to cover the cost of living, often at the expense of their courses. “They are not involved, you do not complete the course correctly and prefer to make money over your skills,” he read the post. The lecturer also noted that many students are passive in their teachings, reserved in class discussions and hesitating with the interconnection of their own community – factors that significantly reduce their employability.
The contribution caused extensive discussion and some agreed that Indian students must focus more on professional growth, while others claim that financial pressures do part -time work. The author of the paper in response to the question claims that approximately 90% of students return to India after they could not secure jobs.
“Employers already have stereotypes about Indian students and unfortunately they strengthen them with many contemporary students by showing a small initiative, poor communication skills and lack of involvement in their studies,” Reddit Post read. They warned that if students do not fully use their education, they develop soft skills and build professional connections, many will try to provide jobs in the UK and eventually have to return home.
What do official numbers say
