Engineering is one of the most choices that students make but yet they are not landing a job in that particular industry. India annually produces one million engineering graduates. And a handful of them eventually gets their engineering-related job. There are alarming statistics in a NASSCOM report, which estimates that, of the 3 million joining the IT workforce, only twenty-five percent of graduates with engineering backgrounds are employable. Only 3.84% of engineers are employable in software-related jobs at start-ups. Around 3% of engineers possess new-age skills in areas such as AI, Machine Learning, Data Engineering, and Mobile technologies. On an aggregate level, employability in these areas is around 1.5-1.7%.
Reasons why Engineers are not able to land their dream jobs:
After getting a B.Tech degree most of them don’t get a job without having some months of training. There are a few elements why exactly most Engineering students didn't get a job in their specialized domain. Have mentioned some of the lists down below by the research:
- The major reason for employment challenges is that many graduates are not skilled enough to work in engineering after graduating.
- Some Indian parents feel that a B.Tech degree is more prestigious than a normal degree and pressurize students to get an Engineering Degree without knowing their kid's interest
- The quality of staff suffered due to the increase in institutes
- Most of the companies are putting fresher resumes aside with the word ‘Experience’
- As of 2021, India annually produces one million engineering graduates. India's technical education infrastructure includes 3500 engineering colleges, 3400 polytechnics, and every single job 300 members are competing. Every year the ratio of unemployment increases due to the previous year's unemployment.
- In this era, technologies are changing drastically though the syllabus of colleges remain the same and also the methodology of teaching, so most of the engineers don’t get the knowledge of new technologies and end up taking the training from different institutes.
- By research 900 faculties are making false claims about the faculty's academic qualifications, most of the engineers are not getting a quality education and also The facilities provided by the colleges are not at all satisfactory.

- You can find engineering students are ready for any kind of work due to the financial condition or pressure from the family and some people tend to get a higher education just to avoid being unemployed or covering up a gap.
Avoiding unemployment:
- Marks or grades are just the eligibility criteria but the suitable technical skills are the ones that get you placed
- Every student must have Industry level experience like working on projects, updating their resume, creating Github links, and being active on job portals.
- Students should get accustomed to the latest technologies in the market and need to understand in-depth those particular technologies.
- Besides, we should keep information beforehand about the roles and responsibilities in a particular organization.
- Most of the training institutions can help students to learn the new technologies in the market and land their dream job.
To address the gap between skills needed for students Acodemy has launched a new job-ready program for the students no matter which bg they come from to get a high package job. This course helps students to work on real-time projects and highlight their resumes to future employe.
