Indian Education System: The Gravest Concern Is Employability Gap
Journal Title: International Journal of Business and Management Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Education is the passport to the future‖ truly said by one philosopher as we all know that education is the foundation on which every person builds his future but unfortunately ―Pearson Voice OF Teacher Survey 2015‖ spilt the bean that education-employment link is still missing in India. According to survey Indian students are educated but not employable as more than 64% students are not employment ready. It is really a gravest concern after knowing this positive fact also that after USA and China India has third largest higher education system. More than 700 Indian universities are producing 20 millions of graduates every year but even half of them are not getting job. A study based ‗on national data was taken up to enquire this question; we got to know that two reasons were highly responsible for this employability gap 1. Outdated Curriculum 2. Lack of Soft Skills in Students Many universities have outdated curriculum as still they are focusing on theoretical –oriented exams. Indian students are seriously lacking in soft skills including communication skills, interview skills, interpersonal skills and professional ethics. Solution can be an industry based curriculum and a laboratory for soft skills. There should be a curriculum enriched with a syllabus of industrial skills, risk management system and corporateoriented practical knowledge along with a lab should established in each college campus which would be providing knowledge and training of soft skills. Indian higher education can be career-friendly for all Indian students if we emphasis these both points and then we can easily link our education to employment.
