India’s engineering sector continues to be one of the most preferred career paths; however, a recent report highlights disturbing trends. An alarming 39% of engineering graduates earn less than ₹7 lakh per annum, indicating the issues of employability, skill gaps, and job quality. Every year, thousands of students graduate from engineering colleges, but many find it difficult to get high-paying jobs due to the increasing competition and changing industry demands. Experts believe the main challenges are outdated curricula, limited practical exposure, and a mismatch between academic training and market needs. The findings have sparked discussions about the future of engineering education and the need for more industry-focused learning to prepare graduates for career success.
