What is the reason lots of engineering students can't get a good job in India?

  1. Quality FactorExcept some IITs, BITS Pilani, NITs and some other private colleges, none of the engineering colleges of India is producing quality engineers.

    There are many factors responsible for low quality. Some of them are:

    • Way of Learning/TeachingIt’s all about Rattafication, CGPA, Class Copy. It’s not about Research, Projects, Entrepreneurship, etc.
    • Lack of support from professors
    If any student wants to do something different from the curriculum, there is a lack of support from the professors.
    • Lack of InfrastructureLabs, Fund, etc. are not available.
    • HR Recruitment Process    During placement-drive, HRs are looking for CGPA (except few companies), speaking skills and not on what you have learnt and what you have done in four years of your engineering.
  2. Ratio of Number of Engineering graduates each year and Number of jobs availableAfter 12th, everyone is opting or forced to choose engineering.

  3. Automation FactorAutomation affected a lot of job opportunity and will affect more in future

  4. Government Attitude (quality v/s quantity)Our Ministry of HRD is busy with opening new IITs, NITs, IIITs, AIIMS, etc. instead of focusing on improving current system/scenario of education in existing engineering institutes.
  5. Students Attitude We students are also responsible. We are focusing on Rattafication, CGPA and getting a job and not focusing on Research, Projects, Entrepreneurship, Higher Studies, etc. But, I believe we students are a victim of this system.
I request Indian Students not to opt engineering to get a job and if you are interested then make sure join some good institution.
I ask Indian Parent not to force your student to join engineering. It’s not all about the job. Even we are not getting jobs.
