  • Foreign education consultants attribute the shifting job market demands to "explosive growth" in fields like artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and cybersecurity.

The article from The Indian Express discusses the trend of Indian students increasingly opting for Mathematics and Computer Science over traditional engineering courses in the US. This shift is attributed to several factors including the high demand for tech-related jobs, the flexibility and broad applicability of these subjects, and the lucrative career prospects they offer. The article highlights that while engineering was once the primary choice, the focus has now moved towards fields like Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence, which are seen as future-proof skills. Additionally, the US universities' emphasis on research and innovation in these areas, along with the potential for higher starting salaries and the global recognition of US degrees in tech fields, further fuels this preference. The trend is also influenced by the evolving job market, where tech companies are increasingly looking for graduates with strong computational skills rather than specific engineering degrees.
