Introducing
75 percent engineering students in India are unemployable.
India produces around 750,000 engineers every year. Of these, almost 40 per cent takes around a year to secure their first job, while around 22 per cent take almost two years before bagging a job. India is already facing a shortage of employable talent and companies are hiring people who lack skills, but are trainable. Getting fresh graduates ramped up quickly to productivity is a key concern across the industry ecosystem.
Simply put, the industry is facing a "quality
gap" with regard to talent. Countries like India and China produce a large number of engineering graduates each year, but most of them need a lot of training before they are industry ready.
Hence the next step for the Indian university
system is to focus more on quality rather than the volume of graduates. There is definitely a demand-supply gap of employable engineers to match the evolving expectations from the industry.
One of the major reasons engineers even
from reputed institutes, are not easily employed because they lack hands-on skill. Industry can play a vital Role From our experience we now know that practical, hands-on training is very crucial in the education system.
Industry can help bridge the employability
gap. There are several lessons we can learn in India from educational institutions abroad. • Providing industry training. • Focusing on quality over quantity. • Focus on research. • Encouraging an entrepreneurial mindset. - an Initiative to help Students Our business orientation is towards bridging the gap between 'engineers' and 'smart engineers'.
We promote quality education, and thus provide
'exposure' and 'opportunities' among students by creating an interactive 'environment' in colleges. We have a team of excellent speakers that include leading institutes like IITs and ISB and professionals working in companies like Yahoo, Google, GE, IBM, TCS, Infosys, Oracle, and Red hat.
Our approach of education is based on knowledge intensive research which is based on the syllabus of different universities, and the relevance of industry practices We organize Seminars and Workshops in Engineering Colleges. Our motive is to expose students to latest technologies, and provide them extensive awareness of the industry. We also organize project competitions, programming contests, and other technical festivals in Engineering Colleges.
We have tied up with various companies to help
students for finding excellent internship scholarships and job opportunities. We are seeking opportunities to extend our help to students.
