The Ministry of Education clarified in Parliament that Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) graduates accepting employment offers from overseas companies reflect individual career choices rather than systemic brain drain.

The ministry emphasized that international exposure enables Indian engineers to gain specialized global expertise before returning to contribute to domestic industry.
