The Crisis of Indian Engineering
A Generation of "Un-hirable" Talent
For too long, the story of Engineering in India has been a paradox. We produce millions of engineers, yet industries lament a scarcity of “hirable” talent.
The truth is, our traditional Engineering education system, built for a bygone era, has created a generation of graduates who are armed with theoretical knowledge but lack the practical skills to make a real-world impact.
They are often unequipped to tackle the complex challenges of the modern world, leaving them struggling to find their place in a competitive global landscape. This disconnect between what is taught and what is needed has led to a crisis of confidence, not just in our engineers, but in our ability to innovate and build a better future for India.
