NEW YORK: India led all foreign-born groups in the US as the country-of-birth of science and engineering degree holders in 2010, according to a brief released in late November by the US Census Bureau.
The India-born in the US 25 years of age or older and holding science and engineering degrees totaled 747,000, about 18% of the foreign-born population of about 4,160,000 with degrees in those fields.
China was the next largest country-of-birth among the foreign-born in science and engineering at 516,000 (12%), while the Europe-born totaled 17.6% of those degrees.
Those born in Asia in 2010 held 57 percent of the science and engineering degrees among the foreign-born population.
The India-born were even more dominant in some science and engineering disciplines.
For example, in the field of computers, mathematics and statistics, those born in India held 24% of all degrees held by the foreign-born, with those born in China a distant second at 14%. The Europe-born held 15.5% of these degrees.
In engineering, those born in India held 22% of the degrees, with China second at 12.6%, and the Europe-born having 17.2% of the degrees.
In the field of physical and related sciences, the India-born held 19.9% of the degrees among foreign-born in the US, followed by China at 17.5%. Those born in Europe held 18.8%.
In biological, agricultural and environmental sciences, the India-born held 14.6% of the degrees among the foreign-born, followed closely by China at 13.7%. Those born in Europe held 15.8% of the degrees.
Only in social sciences, psychology and multi-disciplinary sciences were the India-born less dominant.
In social sciences, those born in India held just 8.7% of the degrees. Those born in Europe and the Caribbean held 21.5% and 19.4%, respectively. China was right behind India at 8.4%.
In psychology, the totals were Caribbean, 31.6%; Europe, 18.8%; India, 8.1%; Mexico, 7.9%; and Philippines, 6.9%.
In multi-disciplinary sciences, the Caribbean led at 22.8%; followed by Europe, 13.3%; the Philippines, 10.5%; India, 8.6%; and Korea, 8.3%.
The breakdown by percentages in specific fields of the India-born was: engineering, 43.1%; computers, mathematics and statistics, 21.4%; physical and related sciences, 12.8%; biological, agricultural and environmental sciences, 11.8%; social sciences, 7.2%; psychology, 3.1%; and multi-disciplinary sciences, 0.5%.
Foreign-born residents in the US represented 33% of all bachelor's degree holders in engineering fields; 27% in computers, mathematics and statistics; 24% in physical sciences; and 17% in biological, agricultural and environmental sciences.

. But the thing is most of the migrants there are well educated to start with. However, results tend to go down as the migrants starts to sink their roots into the country ( speaking from experience)
