Most of the engineers are not capable of employment because of lack of skills like designing and ability to transfer their knowledge. Companies now need hands on experience in building up skills, henceforth students should be provided with experience to work on conceptual knowledge. There is a great need for change of attitude by students towards education. Their domain about education has narrowed to marks. It is high time that students extend their domain from marks to conceptual knowledge and attain a good grip over the subjects. Faculty and students should work proactively. There is plethora of opportunities for students to learn, improve their skills and make themselves fit for industry, hence their chance of employment depends on how they utilize these opportunities.

As many as 97 per cent of graduating engineers want jobs either in software engineering or core engineering. However, only 3 per cent have suitable skills to be employed in software or product market, and only 7 per cent can handle core engineering tasks. Though the quantity of universities, colleges and programs are increasing continuously in the country, the lack of quality education persists. Profit-hungry managements, lack of skill education, focus on rote-learning methods, and shortage of faculty( both in quantity and quality) are the major issues in engineering education. Engineering graduates are collecting their degrees despite not being skilled enough to be a productive part of the Indian economy.

In most of the engineering institutions the course curriculum is, by and large, theoretical in nature and students are not made aware of the applications of the theory in industry. The programs and their course content reflect lack of interaction among academic institutions and industries. Factors working behind an engineer ' s employability include ability to apply the concepts learnt, lack of skill-based education, lack of proper English skills, disregard of essential soft skills, state of the economy and location factor.
