A recent employability report has found that over 80 percent of engineers in India are unemployable as they lack the technological skills required by employers now.
Every year, thousands of engineering graduates pass out of college, but only a tiny handful of them are trained in the skills that employers need now. Over 80 percent of them are unemployable for any job in the knowledge economy, said a report by employability assessment company Aspiring Minds.
The employability report is based on a research conducted on engineering students from India, the US and China.
"We find that a low proportion of engineers take up projects beyond curriculum and do internships. Further, there is a lack of faculty talking about industry application of concepts in class or students getting exposure through industry talks," said Aspiring Minds Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Varun Aggarwal, according to PTI.
"These need to be remedied by aligning incentives of all stakeholder, building capacity and gamification," he added
Main highlights about engineering from the employability report.
1. The report stated that only 3.84 percent of engineers in the country have the technical, cognitive and linguistic skills required for software-related jobs in start-ups.
2. Only 3 percent of engineers have new-age technological skills in the areas which are booming now such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and mobile development.

You're a lousy stinking liar. The employers of H1B vis holders can and do get their employees green cards and then green card holders can easily get citizenship. Furthermore HB visa holders are able to sponsor or spouses and children.
Employment Authorization for Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses
Certain H-4 dependent spouses of H-1B nonimmigrants can file Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, if the H-1B nonimmigrant

AFAIK, an H1B does not allow you to bring extended family as it does not give you permanent residence.
H-1B, L-1 visa spouses: US to renew work permits automatically from January
Good news for spouses of H-1B and L-1 visa holders. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced an automatic extension of the work permit renewal period for H-4 and L-2 visa holders, increasing it from 180 days to up to 540 days. This change is expected to benefit many, particularly Indians, who represent a large portion of these visa categories.

I started at Boeing as a technician.
I earned a four year degree while raising a family and working full time plus OT( I don’t know how may wife tolerated it)
I became an Instrumentation engineer in my organization,
Experimental flight test. I was well mentored by the Senior engineers.
You need more than just a degree to be a good engineer.
I am a good Engineer, Technician, and Journeyman shipwright.
I had an excellent education, but you also need mentoring
to be a true leader in your skill.
Unz Review has a 3,700 word article on the indian mentality. Says they extremely corrupt and we don’t want them here.

To be fair.... That’s better than the graduates from US woke colleges
Doing the jobs we just won’t let Americans do.😏
I agree 100%. (BS in computer science)
80% of Canada’s “H1-B” Indians faked their credentials. The student visa Indians fill all the service jobs, getting hired by the Indian franchise owners.
Have worked with a number of Indian and mid-east software engineers over the years. Asians, too.
The ones from Pakistan were the most difficult in terms of simply being obnoxious, as a group (I’m going back nearly thirty years). Asians tended to work well only in groups. Americans and Europeans were most able to work capably on their own.
Culture.
It is a huge problem with software developers who are not familiar with the ‘anything goes’ American culture, including most Indians, Asians and mid-easterners. Also found non-American’s code documentation to be trying in terms of deciphering what the hell they were describing. Many of the engineers were multi-lingual with English frequently a second, third or even fourth language. Of course, I’ve been accused of, when back in my drinking days, of having no intelligible language skills, so there’s that.
Consider this American Football analogy. Most of the IT engineers from India are trained to be Deep Snappers. You get a big huge team of 80 Deep Snappers. With AI and other types of current apps & services you need lots of QBs and not so many Deep Snappers. Put one of these teams on the field for any play and they will do a good job at having 11 Deep Snappers all trained and ready to do their job lined up every 5 yards to hike and deep snap the ball. However there will be several fumbles as they aren’t Placeholders who catch balls to prepare for a kicker. And once the 11th guy who is 50 yards behind the line of scrimmage hikes the ball (if they get that lucky) they won’t know what to do as the ball is roaming freely behind everyone. If they recover all the fumbles it will be 2nd and 60 best case scenario. The coach should then put in a real QB and other players, but since they just have Deep Snappers their options are limited. Hike hike hike good luck on winning the Super Bowl. Teams with a wider range of skills will do better.
Now if the opposite team puts a line of linemen up against one of the Deep Snappers then that Deep Snappers ought to do well because their training has been so focused on that need. However any team, with a wide range of skills, that prepares to play them will figure out some strategy that ought to do well against the 11 Deep Snappers squads that the other team puts up against them.
WOW! File that one under “MUST READ”. And read in it’s entirety.
It explains Ramasmarmy.
Thanks for the link.
So much for merit based immigration.
No need for personal attacks. I may be misinformed, but I am not a liar. But you are an a$$hole.
I recommend you have more knowledge of a subject before you shoot your mouth off in ann argument and lend up looking like a stupid, lying a$$.
