There is an inclination of students towards
courses, with a future perspective of grabbing a good pay
upon graduation. In reality, many fresh graduates fail to find the type of work they are looking for and some may even take up jobs not relevant to their field.
is due to lack of real-life
experiences and competitive
market conditions, because of which many
graduates find themselves drifting from their desired career path. In my opinion, the root of
problem lies in the impractical higher
coursework which needs to be modernized.
, the traditional
curriculum focuses on the theoretical aspect that doesn't’ bridge the gap of providing practical knowledge of jobs she may be looking for. One popular reason is that
programs are mostly theory-based.
lacks a practical hands-on
experience and basic skills in a candidate.
, knowledge of coding is required in IT/ Computers for an Engineering student. Just passing the
exams and getting coding certificates won’t land them a

, there is the viewpoint of rising competition in jobs.
, students take up a course purely for showing it on their resume without knowing its upcoming
opportunities.
, the lack of guidance from professors

I believe that there is a solution following “one stone that kills two birds”. One
approach is reforming the

feasible by following a tripartite relationship with Government, universities and the companies.
, companies can mention their requisite skills regarding the type of jobs they are looking for.
, to help students get good placements, universities can design coursework according to the right market-fit requirement imparting practical experience in their field.
, government validation is needed to implement changes in
contemporary structure.
, the government needs to bring in necessary regulations so that
is relevant to jobs in the market.
will help to avoid overflowing candidates in the
pool and help them acquire a better fit
in future.
To conclude, the current scenario of the prevailing
prospectus will not change unless universities take necessary steps to make a change
as building market-relevant courses and real-life case studies.
, individuals have to gear up with practicalities of work and challenging market situations.
