Indian Education System: Overview
 India has one of the largest Higher Education System in the World,
with more than 700 Universities and 35,500+ colleges out
of which 115 Universities and 5672 colleges teach various
engineering disciplines. With more then 12 million students on their
rolls, and half a million teachers teaching in all disciplines.
 More then 85% of these students are enrolled in bachelor’s degree
programmes and about one sixth of all Indian Students are enrolled in
Engineering\Technology degree programmes.
 Engineering colleges in the country have been growing at
business schools growing at 60%
20% and
Present Scenerio
Even after Having 1000’s of Educational Institutions in place,
Unemployment is a biggest threat for the Country

25% of technical graduates are considered employable
 10-15% of other graduates are considered employable
So the reason of
‘‘Unemployment’’
is not the lack of
demand or lack of supply but the lack of
Supply’’
( Source of information: Mckenzy, MHRD)
‘‘Quality
Reasons behind lack of ‘‘Quality Supply’’
leading to ‘‘Unemployment’’
 Lack of regular industry academia interface
 Lack of Job oriented & Skill based Curriculum
 Lack of proper evaluation & Certification of
practical skills
 Lack of internship/ apprenticeship opportunities
in industry.

PROPOSED INDUSTRY-ACADEMIA INTERFACE MODEL
1. Adoption / Long Term Collaborations:
 Adoption of Educational Institutions by Industry and vice versa, should be
made mandatory by government.
 Industry should sign MOU with adopted Educational Institutions for
long term\permanent collaborations.
 Industry should Communicate the expectations regarding Skills & future
requirements and should share its short and long term bottom to top
requirements with these adopted educational institutions
 Industry should share the new trends & technologies prevalent in the current
market with the adopted educational institutions.
1. Adoption / Long Term Collaborations:
 Industry should Establish research & development platforms such as
Research Labs, Incubation Centers, Center of Excellence & Skill
Development Centers in the adopted educational institutions.
 Industry should assign live, technical & research projects to students and
faculty.
 Industry should conduct expert lectures and workshops for the updation of
technical & domain knowledge of students.
 Industry should conduct regular faculty development programs & train the
trainer sessions to keep faculty updated.
 At the end of every semester industry should provide internship to the
students of adopted institutions ranging from 4 to 8 weeks
2. Restructuring and Designing of Courses & Curriculum
 Curriculum should shift from input based approach to outcome based approach
 Academia must consult the industry to design/reconstruct
nomenclature & duration of the courses for the required skills.
the
curicullum,
 Academia must consult NSDC, SSC’s and other industrial bodies while
designing\restructuring the curriculum so that courses and curriculum should
remain aligned to industry requirements.
 Skills should be given due importance and should be made a part of the curriculum.
 Equal weightage should be given to practical skills and theoratical knowledge.
2. Restructuring and Designing of Courses & Curriculum
 Review of curriculum should be done every Year.
 Internships and Apprenticeship should be made a part of the
curriculum. Internship ranging from 4 to 8 weeks should be made
compulsory at the end of every semester where as apprenticeships
ranging from 3 months to 1 year must be there at the end of the
course
 It should be mandatory for the students of pre final / final years to select
the ‘JOB ROLES’ according to their interest.
 Completion of Degree/Diploma/Certication would be awarded to
those students who will sucessfully complete their internships and
apprenticeships.
3. Evaluation & Certification:
 Both industry & academia should evaluate and certify the
students parallelly where:
 Academia should evaluate & certify students on the
basis of theoratical knowledge and other skills at the end
of every semester
 Industry should evaluate the practical & job oriented
skills of the students of adopted educational institutions
at the end of every semester
3. Evaluation & Certification:
 NSDC and SSC’s should evaluate and certify the students every year on the basis of
competencies acquired as per NSQF level and the corresponding job roles aligned
with their competencies
 Certified students, even if drops out at any point of time before completing the degree,
would still be absorbed by industry on the basis of the competency acquired for a
particular job role and NSQF level
 There should be a mechanism in place to adopt these drop outs in the industry as per the
certification achieved from NSDC & Sector Skill Councils for the particular NSQF level .
 The above mechanism will open a gateway for multiple entry and multiple exit for each
course. Student can enter a job market leaving studies and should have the option of
rejoining it at later stage.
 Completion of Degree/Diploma/Certication would be awarded to those students who
will sucessfully complete their internships and apprenticeships.
4. Absorption of Students:
 At the end of every course Industry should provide
stipend based Apprenticeships to the students of its
adopted institutions(ranging from 3 months to 1 Year
depending upon course)
 Due to any reason if student doesn’t get apprenticeship in
the adopting Industry then academia is bound to arrange
for the apprenticeship of that student in the alternative
Industry as per the job role and competency of the
student.
 Service agreement can be signed between the student
and the employer, which will be equally witnessed by
academia provided the Industry offers the ‘letter of intent’
to the student at the beginning of the course. This will
drastically improve the retention rate.
ROLE OF GOVERNMENT
Role of Government
Regulating bodies like CIHEC should be formed consisting of representatives
from Government, Education, Skill Development and Industrial bodies to
suggest & formulate the laws to execute this model under the supervision of
Prime Minister’s Office.
Government should make sure that every educational institution (Vocational
Institutions, ITI’s & Professional Institutions/Universities providing diploma,
degrees and Certificates) should be adopted by industry.
Different Board of Studies should include experts from the Industry who will
actively participate in redesigning the traditional courses/curicullum.
Government should make it mandatory for the industry to invest major part of
the CSR’s budget for the execution of this model.
Benefits of this model
 To Industry
- Skilled manpower will be available readily
- Time, Efforts and Cost of Training will be reduced
- Attrition rate will be controlled
 To Academia
- Improvement in Placement rate(biggest threat in current scenerio)
- Preparing students as per global standards
 To Government
- Unemployment rate will reduce substantially
- GDP will improve
- Speeding up the process of making India a developed nation
An Integrated approach that creates WIN-WIN situation for all
Aligning Education to Vision India 2020
“Skill Development is the need of the hour. Be it a cobbler, a plumber or
an Engineer; the degree doesn’t matter but the skills a student acquires,
does”
