We find that a low proportion of engineers take up projects beyond curriculum and do internships.  Further, there is a lack of faculty talking about industry application of concepts in class or students getting exposure through industry talks," said Aspiring Minds Chief Technology Officer and co-founder Varun Aggarwal, according to PTI. "These need to be remedied by aligning incentives of all stakeholder, building capacity and gamification," he added Read: 80% engineers are unemployed: How can we prepare engineers for the jobs of tomorrow? Main highlights about engineering from the employability report 1. The report stated that only 3.84 percent of engineers in the country have the technical, cognitive and linguistic skills required for software-related jobs in start-ups. 2. Only 3 percent of engineers have new-age technological skills in the areas which are booming now such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science and mobile development. 3. Thus, only 1.7 percent of engineers have the skills needed to work in new age jobs. 4. The report provides the primary reasons for low employability of India’s engineers -- only *40 percent engineering graduates do an internship* , while a mere 7 percent students do multiple internships. 5. Apart from a lack of internships, engineers also have low employability because only 36 percent do projects beyond their curriculum. Thus, they don’t always build the skills to solve problems in a variety of situations. 6. Another problem adding to low employability of engineers is that the subject is taught in a very theoretical manner in colleges -- 60 percent faculty doesn't talk about application of concepts in the industry and only 47 percent of the engineers attend any industry talk. US, China have 3-4 times more engineers than India who know how to code The Aspiring Minds employability report also found that the number of engineers in the US who know how to code is almost four times than Indian engineers. When compared with engineers in China, Indian engineers show better potential in writing correct code. However, the proportion of engineers who cannot write compliable code in India is almost three times the Chinese engineers who cannot do so, according to the report. Thus, there are several factors making Indian engineers so starkly unemployable across industries. It
