Hi,

typical U.S. student would have a Bachelor degree from a respected university and some engineering experience as an intern. They usually were confident (sometimes overly so) and had good answers to open-ended engineering questions that required creative problem solving.

In contrast, the typical Indian student would have a Bachelor degree from a university in India that I had never heard of, and a Master degree from a respected U.S. university with little, if any, engineering intern experience. They often struggled to provide examples of real-world problem solving, and would stumble over even simple engineering problems.

Hope this helps

Wish you luck
