Most of the engineers are not capable of employment because of lack of skills like designing and ability to transfer their knowledge . Companies now need hands on experience in building up skills , henceforth students should be provided with experience to work on conceptual knowledge . There is a great need for change of attitude by students towards education . Their domain about education has narrowed to marks . It is high time that students extend their domain from marks to conceptual knowledge and attain a good grip over the subjects . Faculty and students should work proactively . There is plethora of opportunities for students to learn , improve their skills and make themselves fit for industry , hence their chance of employment depends on how they utilize these opportunities .

As many as 97 per cent of graduating engineers want jobs either in software engineering or core engineering . However , only 3 per cent have suitable skills to be employed in software or product market , and only 7 per cent can handle core engineering tasks . Though the quantity of universities , colleges and programs are increasing continuously in the country , the lack of quality education persists . Profit-hungry managements , lack of skill education , focus on rote-learning methods , and shortage of faculty ( both in quantity and quality ) are the major issues in engineering education . Engineering graduates are collecting their degrees despite not being skilled enough to be a productive part of the Indian economy .

In most of the engineering institutions the course curriculum is , by and large , theoretical in nature and students are not made aware of the applications of the theory in industry . The programs and their course content reflect lack of interaction among academic institutions and industries . Factors working behind an engineer ' s employability include ability to apply the concepts learnt , lack of skill-based education , lack of proper English skills , disregard of essential soft skills , state of the economy and location factor .
