Is UK a good option for me to apply to given the current job market and Indian students moving back?
Given the current job market, the UK poses significant challenges for international Computer Science graduates. Graduate vacancies have declined sharply, and the tech sector is experiencing high unemployment rates, with about 10% of UK Computer Science graduates currently unemployed. Many Indian students are returning home after study because of stricter immigration rules and limited post-study work opportunities; those who stay often face difficulty securing well-paying jobs. If you still wish to consider the UK, focus on universities with strong industry connections and career support, and ensure your skills remain in demand. Align your expectations with these realities and discuss your options with your LeapScholar counsellor before making a final decision.
