“The countries are killing for graduates of IIT but America …”

America is giving global talents, and Gutam Mukunda from Yale does not empty words. The United States warns that “getting rid of graduates”, as the new H-1B visa rules prevent one of the most powerful technological innovation engines.

Under the revised visa policies, applicants get advanced grades now a priority, and they collide with first-class engineers of Indian Indian Technology Institutes (IIT)-a step calling Mogka. “Every country in the world will kill for the best IIT graduates,” he said. “But America throws this origin away without reason.”

The repercussions are the most severe in the Silicon Valley, where Iit graduates feed contracts of innovation. Jansoun like Sundar Pichai (Google), Satya Nadella (Microsoft) and Shaantanu Narayen (Adobe) are all IIT products. But despite their influence, only about 60 IIT graduates receive H-1B visas every year-from group production institutions such as Anna University, which sent 850 students in 2017 alone.

The contrast stems from the scale. IITS is recognized under 12,000 students annually. In contrast, schools such as Jawaher Lal Nehru Technological University and VISVESVARAYA Technological University graduate wholesale engineering talents and dominates the H-1B pipeline.

Now, with the new rules, even those few high -influential graduates, they face more severe possibilities unless they also maintain graduate degrees. It is a transformation from quality to quantity – critics say it is a strategic mistake.

In 2022-23, Indian citizens are still receiving 72.3 % of H-1B visas, but the trend is clear: less than elite innovations, and more wholesale appointments. Mukunda warns that the United States only closes the door – it undermines its future.
