Indian students fail to land internships in US amid hire-local push
==========

Indian students in the US, including those from Ivy League universities, are struggling to land internships this summer amid a slowdown in job growth. The scarcity of entry-level job opportunities and the preference of several companies to hire local students in an election year have made matters worse. High inflation, escalating cost of living, local unemployment, and sponsorship problems have further added to the challenges faced by Indian students graduating in the US this year. Even STEM students, who were in high demand before Covid-19, are finding it tough to secure jobs. Technology, consulting, and new-age companies are either laying off staff or continuing with hiring freezes. The situation is impacting job market competitiveness and leading many Indian students to seek help to get placed in India.
