If one goes through the issue of grads in-emplyoability, we finger, open any report published from time to time since the last 7 decades, towards two things (1) lack of institute-industry Interaction (2) outdated curriculum.
My experience over 45 years in academics- both teaching and administration- the basic but too simple reasons for such a state of affairs are:
- Faulty faculty recruitment right from VC to AP.
- Class room teaching has almost come to a halt.
- Practicals are not conducted the way they are expected to (see the attachment).
- Utter lack of academic audit, PBAS, APIs, no process and Performance management at all at all levels right from class room-VC-AICTE to industry.
- No accountability fixed in place at all levels in academics/industry.National Educational policy.

Indo German Technology Centre (IGTC) has very good understanding with local German Mfrs. Every management Graduate gets good exposure for 1-2 semesters with assigned Employer (locally or abroad) ….
Unfortunately, most of the Indian Industry is non-cooperative on this front … they take mandatory ITI Trainees also, only when arm-twisted …. This problem needs to be handled on various fronts …..

The employability of engineering graduates in India has been a matter of concern for the last several decades. Many reports have stated that only 20-25% of the graduates are employable in industry. A recent report has mentioned that only 5% of computer science and information technology graduates (a majority of our engineers are in these disciplines) have any reasonable programming skills, which is the most basic skill for such a graduate. Another 15% can still be trained to perform tasks in IT industry.
Whenever a new report comes out, there are immediate calls for greater interaction between industry and academia and to have more industry-focussed curricula in colleges. And seeing that such calls have not had any impact on the ground level, AICTE has announced that such interaction will now be mandatory. Each college must have an industry consultation committee to rework the curriculum of each course taught there every year.
AICTE appears to have forgotten that it regulates only affiliated colleges, and it has very little regulatory control over universities. Affiliated colleges have no control over their curriculum. They teach the curriculum that the affiliating university decides. These universities are expected to have a Board of Studies for each program, and that board invariably has members from industry as well. So there is already an industry input to the curriculum design. Now, if a college creates such a committee and the industry person advises even small modifications to the courses, can the college implement these modifications? The answer, unfortunately, is in the negative for all colleges, barring a few "autonomous" ones.
