Engineering and management studies: The crisis India is facing and a look at what can be done

The article from MSN discusses the current crisis in India's engineering and management education sectors. It highlights a significant mismatch between the skills imparted by educational institutions and the demands of the job market, leading to high unemployment rates among graduates. Despite producing a large number of engineers and management graduates, many are not job-ready due to outdated curricula, lack of practical training, and insufficient industry exposure.
