New Delhi: There has been a significant increase in post-Covid STEM enrollment with the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, according to platforms that help students looking to pursue study abroad.
As India celebrates Engineer Day, corporations with a percentage of contract engineers share their vision of career and that of their clients for growth.
Sayantan Biswas, co-founder of UniScholars, said: “After the pandemic, 2020 witnessed a slight decrease in the propensity to study in various educational fields, by adding STEM programs. Fortunately, enrollment figures are gradually expanding (by 8-10%) on average each educational year. Biswa cited a survey conducted in 2021, 2022 and 2023 with a pattern of 6,000, 65,000 and 1,10,000, respectively, which revealed an increase in the number of academics enrolled in STEM courses. with enrolment at 24% in 2021, 35% in 2022. That number has more than doubled to 59% by 2023.
Countries like the United States have the most sensible destinations for STEM studies, with a significant increase of about 18 percent in admissions through August 2023, up from 11 percent in 2022 and four percent in 2021, according to internal UniScholars findings.
Biswas noted that the UK has cemented its status as a sought-after destination for STEM studies with a significant 41% increase in admissions through August 2023, up from 37% in 2022 and 11% in 2021.
“Their affiliations with the science and generation sectors have led many multinational corporations to identify themselves there,” he added.

“More than 60% of academics need to know more about American and British universities. We expect the demand for STEM courses to increase, especially in the US. “In the U. S. , where those courses grant academics a 3-year extended post-study painting visa (OPT visa),” Chaturvedi said.
Rahul Subramaniam, co-founder of Athena Education, said: “In the alchemy of education, the fusion of ambition and opportunity has catalysed exponential growth in STEM courses. Every year, more and more academics are attracted to practical technique. of American and British universities, which require academics to conduct laboratory or box-based research, including at undergraduate level. SSE Global Director Rohit Sethi noted that the education landscape has shifted towards AI and STEM systems over the past six to eight months.
“When it comes to engineering opportunities, some countries have earned a reputation for offering strong opportunities and supportive environments for academics pursuing studies in STEM fields. With the integration of AI and emerging technologies, the importance of STEM courses has increased even in the last decade. He has noticed spaces such as accounting and control more prominent.
Sanket Atal, Managing Director of Salesforce India – Operations and Site Manager – Technology, Marketing, Product, said the demand for professional skills is at an unprecedented point due to the increasing virtual transformation and immediate adoption of emerging technologies such as AI/ML. Cloud computing and knowledge analysis across industries.
“We established our CoE (Center of Excellence) in 2016 and recently expanded the Center to meet the developing desire to drive global innovation from India, making India the second largest country for Salesforce in the world,” Atal added.
Ashish Saraf, Thales Vice President and Country Director for India, said: “At Thales, we fully believe in the transformative perspective of STEM education. We work heavily with leading institutions like Central Institute of Manufacturing Technology (CMTI) and IIIT-Delhi. for open hardware studios through our educational connection initiatives, IIT Madras for the Carbon Zero Challenge through our CSR efforts, among others, frequently engaging young people with skills and overcoming barriers of studies and technology. Harmeet Chauhan, Global Head of Wipro Limited – Engineering Edge, said the future of engineering capability in India is bright, driven by a young workforce, sustained economic momentum and disruptive technologies.
