around 1990. To become an engineer in India those days you had to be in the top 5-10 percentile. Therefore the 50,000 estimate

Why would the best and the brightest young people compete so hard to enter a field where there was a 90% chance that they would have to either leave the country, or do something unrelated in order to make a living? Perhaps, the whole idea was to get education and then emigrate? And - just curious - what about other demanding fields, like Medicine, Law, sciences - were they also coming from among the 5-10% of the best candidates, or were they populated by the lower tiers?
