Fresh engineering graduates' unemployment is increasing exponentially. Getting high marks does not ensure employment. They should be able to understand how an industry works, which is never taught in college.
A crash program should be developed to invite senior experienced engineers to conduct orientation classes explaining the industrial surroundings, how they operate, and what inputs are needed to enter these industries. The industries could be in mechanical, electrical, electronics, pharma, chemical, power, or process industries like fertilizers, sugar, cement, petroleum, etc. I can undertake a project to organize such classes.

Hello Mr. Prasad,
If your research is going to be about unemployment, it will be confined to freshers seeking out employment if we leave out people with experience but remaining jobless at present for different reasons. The interviewers, while selecting, look for merit, extracurricular activities, team working abilities, and, in general, anything that makes a candidature better than others. Exceptions do exist in the form of recommendations. So, those who do not get a job, as Dhaarani rightly referred, lack in the requirements as seen above.

I think students in India depend completely on classroom training and don’t make use of other opportunities to learn vital skills.
A lot can be learned through voluntary services in good NGO, local association, spiritual organization ..
These offers
- Free training ground to learn new skill
- Apply your current knowledge.
- Connect with people. You may find entrepreneur, industrialist or persons in good position who may help you getting job.
- Improve your listening skill, patience, communication skill. All are important in work force.
- More a person stays involved in work less time he will have to think negative. This increases chance of getting work.

Normally, students want jobs in large-scale companies after their studies, especially engineers and MBA graduates. Meanwhile, there is a large number of medium or small-scale industries in India. If someone wants to showcase their skills, they can also join small firms. However, in today's competitive environment, nobody wants to become a part of a unit with only 50 people.

Subject: Engineering Students Must Get a Feel for How Industries Work
Fresh engineering graduates' unemployment is increasing exponentially. Getting high marks does not ensure employment. They should be able to understand how an industry works, which is never taught in college. A crash program should be developed, inviting senior experienced engineers to conduct orientation classes explaining the industrial environment, operations, and the necessary skills to enter these industries. Industries could span mechanical, electrical, electronics, pharmaceutical, chemical, power, or process industries such as fertilizers, sugar, cement, petroleum, etc. I can undertake a project to organize such classes.

I am a student on the first day of my MBA. Many faculty asked the question, "Why MBA?" Many said that it's my parents' compulsion, so they don't even know the value of their studies. The second thing is they are not exposed to the outside world; all they know is books, marks, that's all. Very few get to know about other things.
Next, they are not to get a job other than their interest. They say only finance only that dis. Next, when you ask a group of children (10th) in another country, "What are you going to become in the future?" you'll get different outputs, but here the answer will be engineer, doctor, MBA. The problem is there are so many doctors, engineers, MBAs. When there are 20,000 openings and there are the applications received are a lakh, think about what will happen. At least let us not do this for our children; let them do what they like because we have to do only what we know to become successful.

Dear All,
Enough good discussion has taken place on the subject. I am a consultant with 40 years of industry experience in all functions of management and training in management schools. The subject of discussion is exactly what I am doing right now. I have studied enough on the gap between academia and industry and have come up with models of training for students, MBA, BE, diploma, any graduation, non-graduates, and offer modules of training to make them job-ready. This includes communication, personality, functional training on about 10 functions, risk management, leadership, managerial qualities, etc. Everyone who goes through this will be able to get jobs for sure in any industry, regardless of the college they attended, whether it be an MBA, BE, diploma, or even undergrad. We offer this at the final semester and/or we can also prepare them after the course. I can be contacted at 98865 18814 or krsripathy@gmail.com. Enquiries are welcome from any state.

Hi,
Many companies recruit graduate engineers from campus interviews. In some companies, you are behind schedule by 6 months as soon as you join. However, most companies provide training to these engineers. Many companies refer to this process as "Campus to Corporate." By following the training content of these companies, you will gain an idea. In my opinion, candidates can come from any field, whether it be engineering, finance, HR, or any other; the crucial aspect is to understand the business process. This aspect is not typically taught in any institute, but studying it will be a highly valuable endeavor.
Thanks & Regards,

I am glad to see so many responses to my suggestion that Engineering graduates should know how an industry works. Mr. Krishnapathy must be rendering services to many Engineering graduates, and they must have secured jobs. Considering the large number of engineers who are unemployed and also expecting another batch of engineers added every year, unless this issue is taken on top priority, it is not possible to find suitable solutions. The Government should exercise its jurisdiction over providing jobs. Stopping more intake by not issuing fresh licenses to start Engineering colleges is a good step to alleviate the crisis. Employment opportunities are bound to generate in the coming years. Lots of investment in the core and infrastructure sectors, like petroleum, fertilizers, agriculture, industries, construction, rail and roadways, should generate many jobs which can absorb quite a number of Engineers.
The issue at the moment is to find ways to make them industry competent. I mean that when they enter the industry, they should have knowledge of various departments like PPC, Operations, Maintenance, Industrial Engineering, Marketing, Quality, Prototype, Design, R&D, Tool design, Shipping, Servicing, etc., and how they are interlinked with the procedures of interaction. They should also understand the various machines used, the drawings referred to, materials used, processing, operation layout, quality, and procedures adopted, ISO 9000 & IS 140001, production schedule, production plan, labor control and so on. They should also be told about the important details they should collect in various departments, associating with workmen politely, observing the rules in the organization, safety precautions, dress code, etc., too.
Citi HR members can identify those who want to volunteer in this program and prepare a list of such experienced hands, highly matured and who have a flair for training, and they can go in groups to various places to educate the unemployed engineering graduates. Some NGO should also back such initiatives taken. I am confident that a large number of Engineers can get employed. My request to such persons is to keep their options open and be prepared to relocate anywhere within India or abroad on securing employment.

Dear Prasaadu,
First of all, we have to revamp our educational system entirely. There are different types of curricula prevailing in this country, such as CBSE, Matric, State Board, etc. Each curriculum has different approaches. There should be one common curriculum throughout the country. Additionally, the education system should continually evolve to meet the changing needs of society, including the industry. I strongly believe that entrepreneurial skills, safety skills, and social awareness should be inculcated right from the school days.
There is often a gap between universities, schools, and industries. This gap should be narrowed, if not eliminated. The employment potential based on villages and agriculture should be analyzed and improved upon.
There are many reforms that need to be implemented in the overall governance structure of our country.
Regards,
From India, Mumbai
