- Despite success stories like Shivam and Anudeep, many Indian engineering graduates struggle to secure core engineering jobs.
- Only 7% of engineering graduates in India manage to secure core engineering positions, with most resorting to non-engineering roles post-graduation.
- The proliferation of engineering colleges in India has led to a surplus of engineers, with more than 3,500 engineering colleges offering various degrees.
- The rise of engineering colleges was fueled by the IT boom in India during the 1990s and 2000s, attracting multinational companies due to lower labor costs and a skilled English-speaking workforce.
- The expansion of engineering colleges was also driven by politicians and businessmen viewing it as a lucrative business opportunity.
- The quality of education in many engineering colleges is compromised, with a lack of proper faculty, outdated curriculum, and a focus on profit over education.
- Regulatory bodies like AICTE have been criticized for corruption and failing to ensure quality standards in technical education.
- The Management Quota System in private colleges allows for illegal capitation fees, leading to a lack of transparency in admissions and compromising merit-based selection.
- The scarcity of quality engineering education in India has resulted in a mismatch between industry demands and graduate skills, with many graduates lacking practical experience and relevant knowledge.
- Initiatives like the Mohak Scholarship aim to support students in pursuing quality engineering education, emphasizing the importance of reforming regulatory bodies, strengthening industry-college linkages, and promoting innovation in education.
