The increasing menace of Unemployable Graduates - II (Education System)

90% of Graduates, 75% of Engineering Graduates and 77% of MBAs in India are unemployable.

The above figures are official and have been arrived through certain surveys. The question is that how have the officials arrived at these specific figures?

This is the average percentage of candidates that are rejected from the number of applicants. The final figure has been arrived after collating the facts and figures from various employers across the industry.

I would like to question this approach to arrive at such disheartening numbers. I had cited an incident from my personal experience in my last post, giving an insight about the recruitment & selection process followed in the industry for you to understand the shortcomings.

Through my questions I will discuss all the problems that actually looms over the future of our youth and in turn our country.

Should our school and colleges train the students for our industry over and above the basic education that they provide?

The increasing menace of Unemployable Graduates - I

“What made you go for Engineering in Computer Science?” I asked stretching back in my chair expecting an interesting answer from the fresh engineering graduate sitting in front of me in the conference room.

He was at ease by then due to my unconventional way of conversation during an interview. He smiled and I smiled back tweaking my eyebrow encouraging him to answer.

“Because I like computers.” was his answer. He was aware that it was not enough.
