Job Opportunities

Okay. Well, that gives me a different view point. Theres no reason to be this harsh guys. It just opinions and views im looking for. I do know about the Job Market there and the economy. Just wanted to know if it really is that bad.
Besides, i chose Bristol because of its course structure and security is something ive always wanted to specialize in. The reason a job is important is because of the student loan im taking. If i did have my own money and could afford living there without any loan or grant, i wouldnt be asking you about job opportunities No one is looking to permanently settle down in the UK. At least not me. I want to gain some job experience before going back.
Okay, im one of those Indians who personally hates the Indian System of Education. Honestly. I got into my University(which is one of the best in India) purely by merit. The percentage requirement here is no joke either. I was good enough to make the cut. No ranks whatsoever. I chose not to indulge in the rat race that is the ranking system we have back here.
You should probably do some research about Indian Universities before generalizing. The courses you mentioned (engineering and medical) are the two courses that are dragging down our system. Its only these courses that are ranked. All the entrance exams we have are for Engineering and Medical. These two seem to be taking the shine away from all the other courses we have here. Its either Engineering or Medical or Art. What is someone wants to do a pure science course?
Besides, you cant generalize about Indian mentality. Not everyone is the same. I thought this was a forum for some informative and non-hostile feedback. Seems like youve got soemthing against Indians.
Anyway, i know a friend from India doing the same Masters as I am who has secured a job with BT. So what youre trying to say might not be entirely true.

Thanks for the feedback.

Forget it. I mean really. The chances of you finding a job before your visa runs out are low. I think (can't be sure) you're allowed a maximum of six months to find a job that pays 22,000 or more before you're asked to go home, it might be even less. If you want to do a master's in the UK as a route towards employment and residency - then again, don't even bother. The economy here has gone down the toilet and there is increasing hostility towards 'economic migrants'. All major political parties are now 'getting tough' on non-EU immigration.

Also the IT job market is saturated. Unless you're a developer you'll have problems. There are hundreds of applicants for networking job like the kind you'd be applying for after graduation.

If I were you, I'd try and go for the US or just stay in India. Just to hammer the point home - don't think for one moment you can come to the UK, do a master's then get a job and eventually indefinite leave to remain. I know and know of plenty of Indians who've been sent home after failing to meet the necessary condition required to stay in the UK.

And FFS can Indians please do something else other than Computer Science for a master's? The number of Indians posting here about M.Sc in 'Advanced Computer Nonsense' asking which course is best to get a job is becoming tedious. I thought 3 Idiots might have been a watershed moment; clearly it hasn't been.

You're right and I totally agree with you but the problem with India isn't just the mentality to spoke of. It's also overpopulation. When you have a static number of universities with static number of courses, but ever-increasing academic requirements, there will ALWAYS be increased competition. Indian population growth rate is also very high which just adds to the difficulty.

So, as terrible as it might be for them to venture outward to get degrees elsewhere, I commend them for doing so because the situation in their country is pretty terrible.

Do you think these Indians WANT to take thousands in loans? They can just attend some random school in their country and be done with it. But what reputation will that have? Absolutely none.

I'm from Canada and our market has been saturated by immigrants as well (mostly Chinese and Indian). The saturation has led to increased demands placed on Canadian students because these Indians and Asians come with ridiculously good grades, and destroy everyone else in exams. Then universities start increasing their requirements and makes it more ****ing difficult for born/raised Canadian students to get into the programs they want.

I hate what the Canadian education system is becoming. It's all about marks now...they could care less about "who" you are as a person. If you have a 90, you're in. This leads to graduates who are ridiculously book smart, but have no ****ing social skills whatsoever.

I could go on and on about how ****ed up the system is getting because of the immigrants but I can't just ignore their issue as well. They have a population crisis back home and the only way to escape it is to leave.

Really? I don't think the OP intended this to be an outlet for your frustrations guys. He asked a question, which still hasn't been answered because this thread's been hijacked by people either a) with no knowledge of the answer or b) unwilling to offer a decent, straight answer without being rude.

In the context of the direct question asked by the OP, this thread reads terribly. Reading from the bottom up, I'd assumed this was a debate ignited by some intentionally inflammatory question.

Somehow, the topic shifted to a normative discussion on Master's students entering the UK from abroad, with some scathing remarks. I don't think the OP asked whether his career/study plans were justified 'in spite of' his nationality... I'm Welsh so don't - in a typically TSR way - assume I'm biased.



Btw, congrats OP. Bristol and King's are great unis. Best of luck with your studies and job hunting!
