Chennai’s Anna University topped the list with 850 of its former students securing the H-1B; Hyderabad’s Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University (JNTU) was second with 747. The IITs and BITS had just over 60 each.

However, these numbers don’t tell the whole story, given the huge difference in the enrollment numbers of the IITs, IIMs and other universities. For instance, the IITs offer fewer than 12,000 seats per year, while Anna University has approximately 200,000. Since the H-1Bs are allotted via lottery, having a larger base means universities with more students bag more visas, too.

It’s not much different at the master’s level either. In fiscal 2017, JNTU and Anna University bagged the top two spots while the IITs barely made it to the top 25 list in this category.

The top 25 colleges are all Indian. However, revered institutes like the IITs and BITS didn't even make it to the top 20. Chennai's Anna University and the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University in Hyderabad top the list by a mile.
