India will be the world’s youngest
country by the year 2020 (NDTV 2017) and, also the third largest country with
maximum enrolments in higher education. Despite such a remarkable trend, the
employability prospects in our country are very upsetting. With 15 million
youngsters entering the work force each year, more than 75% are not job-ready
(The Hindu, 2016). As per All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE),
more than half of MBA graduates are jobless and major reason behind is outdated
curriculum (The Economics Times, 2017). Sunny Jain (Manager Finance &
Accounts) working with conglomerate expressed that “Our Professional education
system still lack industrial exposure. He further added that we always prefer
students with real-time exposure and specialized skill-set instead of hiring
just a degree holder”. Gurmukh Singh (Head –Operations and Projects, Romsons
Group) further added that “The gap between industry and education institutes
must be bridged; to improve the employability of students and the quality of
higher education”.
Industries are more inclined to
hire specialized talent rather than just a degree holder. CA Tarun Kumar
(Consultant – Ministry of Finance) stressed that “while it is crucial for fresh
graduates to have knowledge in their own discipline when seeking employment, it
is becoming increasingly important that their skills are complemented with wider
and deeper understanding of real market trends”.
