Abstract

The role of technical education in the progress and growth of a nation is well acknowledged all over the world. In India the number of people entering into the technical education system has never been a problem. But the relevant problem has been the relative skills and employability of the people. The widening of skill gap and increase in the unemployability of engineering graduates has become a tremendous pain point for government as well as other stake holders. There is an urgent need to improve the technical education system and reducing the skill gap to convert youth into educated employable citizens for both their own development as well as the development of the Nation. The skills demanded by the industries are often not found in the engineering graduates and the skills that they possess are often termed as obsolete or are presently not needed by the employers. Hence, there is a need to identify the factors responsible for the widening gap. Therefore, paper focuses on detail analysis of various responsible factors for creating disparity between demand and supply.
