Hi,
Nowadays, unemployment is gradually increasing year by year. I want to do small research on unemployment. In which areas do individuals fail to get jobs? Which skills are required by companies from students? What types of training do they need to gain skills? I need to get more inputs from citehr.

Hi sir,
I'll give some inputs which I know, and seniors will provide you with more compared to me. The greatest barrier the students face is the inability to express their ideas. They mostly lack confidence; they will always have a second thought in mind, whether what they say is right or wrong.
Ask them to read journals and magazines of their field. They should be able to understand the concepts and should be able to answer where the concepts they studied can be applied practically.

Dear Mr. Prasad,
Your research will end up accumulating more points, which you can summarize at the end of your survey.
1) INDIAN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE MODIFIED/CHANGED.
2) CURRICULUM DESIGN AND SUBJECTS TAUGHT SHOULD MEET MARKET/RELEVANT INDUSTRY DEMAND.
3) MNC's MUST COME UP WITH THEIR OWN CURRICULUM AND COLLABORATE WITH UNIVERSITIES SEEKING ADMISSIONS.
4) SKILL-BASED PROGRAMS SHOULD BE GIVEN TOP PREFERENCE.
5) VARIOUS COMPETENCIES SHOULD BE TAUGHT BEFORE THE END OF THE COURSE.
6) STUDENTS MUST BE ALLOWED TO WORK FOR A STIPULATED PERIOD OF TIME TO GATHER EXPERIENCE AND THEN PROMOTE TO THE NEXT SEMESTER OR MODULE.
7) SOFT SKILLS MUST BE A PART OF EVERY CURRICULUM.
8) FACULTY MUST BE TRAINED, CERTIFIED, AND HAVE A MINIMUM EXPERIENCE TO TAKE UP THE TEACHING PROFESSION.
9) COLLEGE MANAGEMENT MUST NOT COMMERCIALIZE THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM, CHARGE MORE, AND OFFER LOW-QUALITY SERVICES.
10) PARENTS MUST ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO TAKE COURSES AS PER THEIR INTEREST.
11) STUDENTS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE UP COURSES WHICH THEY CANNOT PURSUE DUE TO LACK OF SPECIFIC SKILLS.
12) THE MEDIUM OF COMMUNICATION MUST BE ENGLISH, NOT JUST LIMITED TO WRITING.
13) SPECIALIZED CERTIFICATIONS SHOULD BE GIVEN MORE PREFERENCE TO SUPPORT GRADUATE & POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS (CURRICULUM MUST BE PRECISE) WITH REGARD TO EXPERIENCE AND TO PROGRESS TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
These are only views. Correct if I am wrong.
With profound regards

Dear Ms. Dhaarani and Mr. S A Khadir,
You have mentioned very detailed points to clarify the above query.
In addition, if we see today, most educational institutes are emerging in the private sector in almost all the courses. Some of them (not all) have commercialized the education system.
Now students can take admissions very easily in any course, whether MBA or Engineering stream. Some of the students are getting admissions not because of their choice but because of some prestige issues. It shows that they will not take interest in the particular course, which shall affect the education environment adversely for the genuine students.
I have personally experienced the conceptual skills gap in the candidates. As you might be knowing, for a technical course, most of the questions we ask from the candidates are related to the practical training they attended in the industrial house.
What I found is that the students can't give satisfactory answers to the questions. The reason may be that the industrial houses do not have sufficient time to give them the training and relevant projects for work.
Being new to the culture, the student trainees don't force the company representative to give them adequate training and guidance. This is a very major point for not getting jobs for the students after completing their particular course. So, it is the moral and social responsibility of the industrial houses to impart proper and adequate training to the students (training as part of their curriculum).
Another point, as already explained by my friends, is that more interaction between industry and education institutes is to be improved to know the needs of one another.
Moreover, the demand and supply gap of manpower is increasing, which further worsens the situation.
Thanks

Dear Mr. Prasad,
You mentioned that unemployment is increasing year by year. This is not entirely accurate. It is the unskilled and inexperienced workforce that is growing annually. There are numerous job opportunities available across various industries. The main issue lies in the lack of experienced, qualified, skilled, and certified professionals.

The streams to which you refer talk about a larger base of unemployed youth, but the delivery is different for both sets in employment. For MBAs, it is all about live cases and understanding the application of concepts. For engineering students, it's all about technical clarity. However, the only strain to all these youths is clarity of the fact: certification disregarded, they are freshers in the industry and need to start from the grassroots level and move up. It should not be an assumption that the MBA or engineering degree makes you better. Every company has its own specifications for the jobs, and induction is fixed. It is post-induction performance that can ensure growth. Until then, at every interview, MBAs and engineers still perform the same as fresh graduates, as vocational education leaves a big time gap without traineeship and on-the-job exposure. So, I guess rural internship for medicine delivers well!

Dear Mr. Prasaadu,
The issue of unemployment is a universal phenomenon and is not limited to any one country. No country can claim to have zero unemployment. In your case, you are interested in conducting research in this vast area, which is akin to an ocean in itself as employment opportunities span across all sectors. It is essential to first decide on the sector you wish to focus on, be it banking, engineering, legal, etc. Once you have made this decision, you can then proceed with your work. It is also crucial to consider the regional aspect of employment. Will you be focusing on a local or national level?
Before moving forward, there are numerous questions that need to be addressed. As for skills, they can be broadly categorized into technical or functional skills acquired through education and work experience, and soft skills or managerial skills essential for success in the professional world.
I recommend conducting thorough research before proceeding further. Employment statistics can be obtained from government bodies that specialize in this area, which may assist you to some extent.
Best Regards.

Dear Shri Prasadu,
I cannot comment on the unemployment issue, but would like to comment on what inputs the institutions should provide to students to enhance their performance in the screening process of recruitment by employers. These comments partially address the three questions in your note.
Most prospective employers look for candidates who are sound in academics, possess aptitude/attitude suitable for the job, have clarity in approaches to problem-solving, and possess good verbal and written communication skills.
Based on the above hypothesis, one could say that students need the following to enhance their employment opportunities. Institutes need to take steps to cater to these requirements:
- Strength and clarity in fundamentals and concepts. Institutions need to make the lecturers put in extra effort to ensure that students understand the fundamentals. For this purpose, small tests or quizzes may be introduced within the lecture sessions.
- Written communication skills - Using simple and short sentences to express ideas. Training in précis writing helps in developing skills in analyzing and expressing. Guest lectures on the basics of report writing also help.
- Verbal communication skills - Exposure to principles such as listening to questions/statements fully before answering, responding to the point and not beating about the bush, saying 'Do not know' instead of bluffing, etc., helps. Guest lectures on this subject may be considered by the institutions. Debating competitions may be incorporated as extracurricular activities.
- Training on resume preparation
- Vocational guidance
