ENGINEERS VS EMPLOYABILITY
FROM THE STUDENTS
We know that there a lot many graduates from the background of engineering than from any other course. There will surely be various ways of filtering out the best by the employers. In a way this might decrease the percentage of employment but is the only option left for such a huge number. No one can ensnare the person with right character and persistence based academic results. Thus, it solely depends on the individual to stand out of the crowd if willing to contribute or do their bit for the nation.-Shreya Nalla ECE-C 3 / 4
We find 80 % of engineering graduates unemployed and one big reason for this according to me is the traditional obsession Indian parents have with engineering. Earning an engineering degree for the sake of settlement will not give the skill set to be employed in your respective field, specially keeping in mind the outdated syllabus we are forced to learn.

Despite of the educational institutions’ endeavor to make their students fit for the industry, companies are still complaining that they fail to find the needed skill and talent. In order to overcome this, there is a need to change the syllabus in a job centric way. Friendly interaction between students and faculty is necessary too. Maximum effort should be made by students in understanding concepts in depth, developing communication and outgoing skills, having good practical knowledge rather than just focusing on percentage. Students should be aware about all the upcoming technologies and try to be as intellectual as possible.

The main factors behind the unemployability of engineering students is lack of ability of students’ application of the concepts learnt, the rote learning method, lack of quality education, lack of innovation and research etc. Most of the students are attracted to software packages and do not concentrate on their discipline subjects resulting in half-baked engineers.

Students find that what they learnt is different from what projects they are given in industries. Their fundamentals are not strong enough to tackle the issues of present world. Due to this reason, not all engineering graduates posses the knowledge and talent to implement their theoretical knowledge, and industries find it difficult to separate the talented from bulk.-Chandhana CSE-C( 2 / 4) 6
