  • One of the most important recent concerns has been the level and quality of employment, particularly among our educated youth. While we are the fastest growing large economy, we have struggled to find quality work for engineers and management students graduating even from our elite institutes.

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 Despite producing a large number of engineers and management graduates, many are not job-ready due to outdated curricula, lack of practical training, and insufficient industry exposure. The piece points out that while there is an oversupply of graduates, there's a shortage of quality education, with only a few premier institutions like IITs and IIMs maintaining high standards. Suggestions for improvement include revamping the curriculum to include more practical, industry-relevant skills, fostering industry-academia collaboration, promoting entrepreneurship, and enhancing faculty development programs. Additionally, there's a call for regulatory reforms to ensure educational quality and relevance, aiming to align educational outcomes with economic needs and reduce the unemployability of graduates.
