Abstract

Role of an engineer is imperative in improving the quality of human life and India is one of the largest producers of engineers with 23 IITs (Indian Institute of Technology), 31 NITs (National Institute of Technology) and state universities offer technical education in the form of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programs. Since India, a predominantly young population, IITs and NITs are not sufficient in number and hence AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education) has approved over ten thousand self-financed private engineering colleges across the country to cater the huge demand for engineering education. Except for IITs, NITs, and other premier institutes, most engineering colleges failed to give quality education to the students, which would get them suitable jobs. As per the research carried out by Aspiring Minds a leading employability assessment company, only 1.7 percent of the engineering graduates are suitable for the new age jobs and top 10 IT companies recruit only 7 percent of the engineering graduates every year which is a serious concern.
