ENGINEERS VS EMPLOYABILITY
FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD
In my opinion , Engineering or in fact becoming an engineer doesn ’ t just mean earning a job . The rush towards being employed right after engineering is very common since a long time . Clearing all subjects , finishing off with B . Tech and then getting right away into a job is not enough anymore . Being exposed to the industry and having a practical approach of doing things is what is necessary in the recent times . We have been looking at unemployment among engineers and this is continuing to grow at a fast pace . Moreover , the current curriculum provided to the students might not give enough time for practicality to all the students . In such situations , students can consider higher studies before employment . This gives them sufficient time to be exposed to the industry and also helps in building their knowledge even further . Doing this increases the chances of being employed , and good wages and recognition can be expected .

A huge number of engineers graduate in India every year but the grim reality is a handful of them are employable . Most engineers lack proper communication and leadership skills , which cannot be taught in a span of four years . They fail to perform well in logical , critical reasoning and numerical ability sections of the aptitude test . While technology changes at a rapid pace , syllabus updating occurs only after several years . Moreover , the curriculum has been designed to focus on theoretical learning rather than practical . Thus , students lack adequate knowledge and understanding of basic concepts

The number of engineers graduating every year is growing exponentially . To survive in this employment bottleneck , students are diverting from the traditional ways of learning which includes more of hands-on session and jumping into that slot where it is quite easy to gain a good percentage . Attending a placement drive is to market your skills . The good the marketing , the better job you get . Engineers today lack the ability to communicate to the companies what knowledge they have . The employability vs . engineers graph will have a positive slope provided the students learn rather than been taught how to make their identity in the required sector by learning their pros and cons initially , ponder for the right opportunity and utilize to the fullest .
