India Career Ready Programme

 

 At the University of Exeter, we have many students from India, especially in the Business School.

Indian students often need some extra help with their career planning because:

  • The majority of Indian students want to work in the UK after their studies
  • There are some major differences between finding and applying for jobs in the UK and in India
  • Indian employers and UK employers want very different things
  • Indian students will need a working visa to stay in the UK
  • UK CVs and cover letters are different from Indian resumes

To help Indian students to understand these differences, Career Zone has designed a unique programme, India Career Ready. India Career Ready was created in the Business school but is available to all students across the university.

Are you a student from the UK or another country who wants to work in India?

As India Career Ready contains helpful information about the Indian graduate labour market, application and selection processes used in India and information about how to conduct an Indian job search from the UK, it will also be of interest to any other students who wish to work in India during or after their studies.
