Current Status of Engineering Graduates and Employability

Engineering is the application of science and technology in order to design, build and maintain structure, machine, and device. India is a unique position where it has developed a reasonable infrastructure in engineering and technology in some of the fields. The new challenges for engineering education go more than the need to keep students abreast of cutting edge technology and calls for a better equilibrium in the various areas of engineering. This requires the new development model for the holistic growth of engineering education. Adaptation of new development model will not be easy since lots of our research universities are faced with monetary pressures. Indian government has made significant contribution toward this growth phase for the development of nation. This paper addresses for an assessment study of the methods developed by reputed engineering institutions in India to lay the foundation for future engineering education
