Every parent would like their child to pursue a programme of study which eventually will provide them with some form of security in terms of gainful occupation ( be it self employment or otherwise) . However the situation is more complicated in the Indian context
· Limited capacity for open entry into programmes of study in well established institutions and programmes of study in liberal arts , pure science or even vocationally relevant programmes such as Law and commerce not to speak of Engineering and Medicine . ( whether there should be reservation is another debate on which ha discussion strand is on going in the forum)
· Instrumental approach of providers. First India witnessed a growth of Bachelors in Computer Science courses offered by a sudden spurt of new providers ( mid 80's to 90's) With the millennium craze over, the move seem to have shifted to MBA courses and today you have a number of bodies rating Business Schools and the most popular metric seems to be the 'entry level compensation package' . Even in prestigious institutions such as IIMs once placement is over students hardly engage in any institution driven learning activities. The focus is merely on completing the programme and exiting with the award .
The fault lies to a significant extent on this system of valuing education purely on the basis of entry level 'salary package' ( as most 21- 22 year olds and sometimes their parents / guardians would refer to) .
There seems to be very little credence given to providing holistic education . It is heartening to see the development is curriculum from institutions such as Ashoka and Shiv Nadar University. It is indeed a shame that the four year programme initiated by Delhi University never took off ( but that is a matter of another debate perhaps) .
What is required is a paradigm shift in the thinking ,design and delivery of curriculum if India is to achieve a successful 30 % GER in the next 5- 6 years ( the government's stated objective ).
It is well worth remembering
"Learning takes place through the active behaviour of the student: it is what he does that he learns, not what the teacher does." (Tyler, 1949)

Most of the jobs are available in SMAC space. Many BSchools across the world have included hard core technical subjects in the curriculum.
Technology space is changing very fast. Today, e-commerce is the most promising area but expertise believes that this space will be shaken up in next 2 years. Then what's next?
Industry share the equal responsibility with academics for their own interest to train and create an agile next generation workforce along with active government involvement.

Any graduate can turn to MBA. Graduates like B A, BSc, B Com, Agriculture, etc. have less market with lower compensation. If MBA is obtained, chances are more that one can earn more than 3 times that of Arts, Commerce and Science graduates earn.
We have the following crazes:
- Electronics were not available about 2 decades ago. Wave came in, today it is not the green area.
- Because of unprecedented compensation one was getting two decades ago, computer Sciences had a roaring demand and we started programs like BCS, B E/B Tech (CS),BCA, MCA and many more programs like MCM. Today the craze is fast disappearing.
- About 2 decades ago MBA was not in demand because of low market. With the expansion in Egg/Technology, many MBA institutes are being established either as a separate institute or a joint program with Engineering. Both rural and urban areas are flooded with MBA institutes and for getting employment at a reasonably good compensation, students from non-professional prgs started joining the institutes. Though there happens to be a good expansion in market including services sectors, it has limited jobs to offer. This has resulted into massive non-employment causing many B-Schools (that needs limited resources but tuition fees are shooting sharply up) to shut down.
- It means there is a mismatch what we plan, execute and market demand. This needs to be done more scientifically in a plan-full way so that students are prepared for industry world irrespective of their faculty.
- In the whole process, institutes have created huge assets, business is risk free, parents have to empty their pockets and the outcomes are before us.
