Kgpian Among the Top Foreign National Earners in the US - Minneapolis Fed
IITKGP Foundation
Indian technology schools have emerged as 10 of the top 20 global undergraduate schools and our alma mater shines through. A working paper from the Minneapolis Fed, “The Global Distribution of College Graduate Quality,” reported the elite Indian colleges are the best in the world when it comes to quality of teaching and learning and its impact on graduate earnings in USA.
The report by Minneapolis Fed aimed to create a standardized, cross-border measure of “quality” of students based on their alma maters. The database provides them with earnings and detailed résumés for more than 2 million workers. These workers include 76,000 people who have worked in at least two countries.
The researchers however recommend readers not to dwell overly on specific rankings. The results are also fluid, with hundreds of thousands of new observations from Glassdoor every six months. However, broader trends in the initial rankings offer powerful insights. The study showed colleges from developing countries, at least the very best ones, do better than most other global university rankings would imply.
