  • I discuss with Prof. Anandaroop Bhattacharya some burning issues on the employability of Indian engineering graduates and on the job market. Currently, a faculty member in the Mechanical Engineering Department at IIT Kharagpur and formerly senior professional at Intel, General Motors, General Electric, Prof. Bhattacharya has had a unique combination of extensive experience in both industry and academia.
    We first discuss the statistics available on student enrollment in various engineering courses in India. Then we discuss the important question: What should engineering graduates from non-CS and non-IT departments like Mechanical and Civil do to face the job market where there is a predominance of requirement in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Machine Learning and so on.

    "Be flexible enough to adapt to new technologies", " if you do something sincerely you would start loving it", "whatever you are doing do the best " ... Every second of this video is synonymous with gold. I strongly aspire to become a geotechnical researcher and over the past 3 years, I have prepared myself, learning a lot be it core technical or any other skills that are needed for polishing the knowledge, when there were plenty of opportunities to skip the study as the semesters were going online... All the messages from this video resonate with my academic journey, thanks to the professors for mentoring us.

    India does need a lot of non-CS, non-IT engineers. However, we tend to produce engineering graduates rather than engineers.
    The employability is low because there is no effort in inculcating an engineering mindset. This results in kids becoming dissolutioned with their undergraduate education by their third year.
    Probably, we need not produce so many engineering graduates. Maybe the exit routes suggested in NEP may provide some solution. But, having seen how ideas that look good on paper royally flunk when put into practice, we have to take that with a substantial amount of salt.

      Hello Sir! I humbly disagree to your statement. There is simply not enough job availability and IITs as there are engineers, and how do we separate engineers from engineering gradutes? GATE? I'm sure anyone who managed to secure more than 45-50 marks in GATE will do an excellent job in any IIT or PSU, afterall the people who study at IITs make it the place it is, the engineering is same(at least in most reputable institutions) and 90% companies only want to recruit from IITs. So, being good is simply not enough, we need to be extraordinary to even get a decent job in core branch. I'm from ME branch, lets be honest, how many companies recruit freshers? None of CS or IT engineers need to go through such trauma in their early life.

To prove myself as a worthy engineer i should put myself through GATE, only thing is it has been made difficult by the training institutions who make students an exam cracking machine. Me and my friends although from a top 1-5 ranked private college, despite having good grades in college are still struggling with GATE. Most of the top rankers in gate usually get there at their 2nd 3rd or maybe even 4th attempt spending all those years in isolation preparing, and lacking in softskills, social skills, and exposure to outside world.

    Hi sir, I'm not an IITian, completed my Mechanical engineering from a private Teir 4 college. After my degree i didn't got any placements and i found that my technical knowledge is not that good so I worked on it, worked really hard to learn those things in a better way (being a ME engg i have to and I should work on my knowledge related to ME, that's all I got) After that I was able to brought myself within 1% of top students tested by some big testing agencies like GATE, i felt good at that time that now i gained those technical knowledge.
    But what after that sir, even with 99 percentile i was not able to ask anyone that give me a chance. Some of friends are working in industries with 15-20k monthly salary which demotivated me a bit more. Now people and the trend is forcing me to change my field to IT, even i also started thinking that if I had learn cs/it things after completion of degree i could be at a better place.
    Now I feel I wasted 4 yr plus post re-learning period.
    I'm still in a doubt.

      Bro, Its unfortunate that this situation turns many Mechanical engineers towards CS-IT sectors just for the sake of money & comfort. Very few of them, soonly does justice with those jobs whatever they demands. But now, every sector of engineering whether core or non-core is emerging with IT skills. Then why thinking here & there ? Anyhow, IT & CS skills are necessary to grab big commercial opportunities in both IT & core R&D sectors. In IT, it is top notch no doubt. But in cores like Mechanical or electrical, no one will hire any single engineer only to do hands on machines. Those will be there but in collaboration with teams & colleagues. At the end, software skills are employable & more than that quick adaptations to new upgradation as soon as time changes.

    Sir another point i would like to mention is about the opportunities available for non-circuital fields in India. For eg in Metallurgy or Naval architecture, both of which are offered at IITs, there are almost no good employment prospects in the country. Most of the jobs are in PSUs with terrible work conditions and poor work culture. They offer little to no learning and are a waste of talent and brains for someone from an IIT. This is why a lot of people from IITs move to IT/Consulting since the only other option is to pursue higher education which may not be affordable or lucrative

Once you turn 30-35 you would feel the need of a partner, someone to share your pain with. A child will still remain optional but the need of a partner will definitely arise. And at that point of time if you don't make correct decisions you will regret after 45-50 years of age. Trust me it will happen. Take your decisions wisely.

    Prof JC and Prof AB are doing a wonderful job of talking to the students and parents and giving informed ideas and opinions. I hope their message reaches all STEM students.
    India needs a very large number of practical engineers and technicians not only for India but also to send them abroad; the world is very big and there are lots of opportunities for qualified people. Multidisciplinary curriculum, project-based learning, internships, skill-development programs, etc. will make 75% of the STEM graduates employable. On the jobs creation side, the Government has to create programs like solve your local problems. That is, let students identify 100s of problems around, write proposals on how to solve them, then take them up as BTech projects to actually solve them. A small stipend, a small budget, a little guidance from the local engineers and professors, and the students' desire to do something useful will make them employable and solve many problems at the same time. The college workshops and labs can be used to create prototypes. Thousands of real startups and millions of jobs will be created by these young graduates.

    Sir I have a suggestion. The engineering colleges should allow students to take any branch without need of branch specific cutoffs. As a result more people will go into IT and CS and thereby satiate the increasing demand and only those who are genuinely interested in core branches can pursue them. Since number of core enggs will decrease they will get higher pay and more opportunities. So let the demand and supply adjust themselves but currently there is an excess supply of core enggs most of them do it half heartedly because they want CS

    India needs to have strong Industry-research-academic collaborative partnership. Multidisciplinary academic opportunities need to develop and mature to meet future industry needs, which creates job opportunities through opportunity creation. This means job/opportunity seekers transform to job/opportunity creators or otherwise entrepreneurship - not the me-too unicorns but real solution providers with real products and services. We need depth and breath covered to create experts to versatile engineers to strategist/visionaries intercepting both vertical markets and horizontal technologies, breaking existing silos. We need CS/EE/Mech/AI majors in Agriculture, Automotive, Semiconductors, Precision machine tools, Oil and Gas etc... Your guest speaker and professor with top industry and academic experience is a gem. Thank you for this discussion and video.

For this, design modelling softwares like CATIA, Solid works, Creo, ProE, etc should be well known. For simulation under real life & real time circumstances, whether the designed product will perform upto the marks or not, it is necessary to perform CAE, CFD & optimization analyses too & many more. These are just entry stuffs. The real games are far above the mentioned foundations. Like manufacturing, automation, quality controls, product & system launching & many more.

    While its great that professors from core branches are at least speaking about the mordern issues of the students studying in core branches - however the prescribed solution of nimbleness is definitely a BIG JOKE. According to the metrics shown in the video we have an approximate current output of 2:5(number of mech/number of students in computer related stuff). Now there is no issues with the stuff the computer science students are learning however, the expectation is such that core branch peeps should diversify their skillsets in addition to their own curriculum which is also equally complex if not more. And then we want them to perform at par with the other branches in terms of employability despite the dangling sword and the immense stress that their is already.
    The proposed solution reminds me of the coca cola campaigns of the past - there was a problem of plastic bottle waste and its management - now instead of them moving to a more environment friendly material, they launched a campaign urging the consumers to take action. They basically offset their climate responsibility to the consumers saying that YOU need to clean up your mess whereas not taking any responsibility themselves. A simpler more effective solution could have also been found at the source.
    So why not try to solve the problem at the source here as well - reduce the number of seats for core branches and increase the number for the other branches on the basis of market status as a dynamic thing. That would ensure better learning for students and better opportunities for people who are really into core branches - increasing the employability also in the process because now the dependance on minors/other branches might be a bit more relaxed - instead of taking a minor in data science with mech major, they might go for something like electrical or electronics. So why is it that the students/consumers always have to be nimble - why cant the prestigious institutions and colleges be nimble too?

    This Indian obsession with IITs and engineering more generally is frustrating. The vast majority of engineers who enter engineering streams have no interest in engineering whatsoever. It’s just a checkbox that’s followed by an MBA - another checkbox - and then becoming another cog in a US conglomerate. They tend to be terrible at basic socialisation with poor communication skills and absolutely no grasp on understanding society with any level of nuance.
    The purpose of an education isn’t just employability, it’s the creation of hard skills alongside an intellect capable of curious engagement.

    I really admire how Dr. Bhattacharya encouraged people to take their curriculum seriously and give their 100% to whichever stream they're in instead of mindlessly pushing students to force themselves into CS/IT.
    Once we have more and more students genuinely interested in their respective fields of study, the core unemployment rates will automatically go down.
    Today, most non-CS engineering grads are in deep regret of not being able to 'crack' CS at the time of admission. So, throughout their academic career, they're totally uninterested in the core curriculum and train themselves to get the most basic of coding jobs.
    This is because of the herd mentality that's eating up our student population and constantly making them doubt themselves.

    As a CS undergrad with 2yrs experience who was about to take Mech in 150+ rank college I have analysed this problem.
    Compensation in CS is about 2x that of mechanical despite having mech students winning international competitions and sleeping in their project room itself.
    CS projects have engineers at all levels (do they require is a different thing) creating a very huge demand unlike other fields.
    Companies are ready to train students into IT roles irrespective of previous degree. Many hire IITians or NITians because they can work extremely hard (like they did for JEE) and have good reasoning skills while paying higher than CS grads from slightly lower colleges. Cross hiring reduces as college rank decreases. (We attribute a lot to JEE even after 4 years)
    Marks and skill start becoming less correlated as you go down the ranking. Companies realise this but graduate schools don't. (Can see in placement stats)
    Many IIT and top college profs don't realise that current IT industry doesn't need non-CS engineering skills. They need more industry specific background like basics of law, marketing, banking etc depending on the industry they work in.

    • @achyuththouta6957

      The companies that train people for IT roles are service based companies. Those companies do not require high skill unlike product based companies like Amazon, google, etc. So for those companies, any above average individual can do the job. They try to eliminate as many people as possible because loads of people can actually do that. Selecting people from IIT and NIT is the easiest way to do this. This is precisely why they do this. Product based companies where high skill is required don't care about too much about your background. What they care about is your skill in programming.

    The quality of engineering graduates, whichever domain it may be, is just abysmal. BE and BTech education in India has proved to be a big flop. Engineering education needs a big overhaul. What can be more tragic, when the professor from IIT Kharagpur is very emphatically stating that we have proved ourselves in IT services. One wonders whether all this hoopla about Computer Science and IT and even Computer Engineering is all for the sake of IT services.IT services is mainly about taking care of existing IT systems and keeping them in working conditions. Can this be the goal of hundreds of graduates coming out with Computer Science and IT degrees ? The quality of IT education in India and the standard of IT and Computer Science graduates can well be judged from the hard fact that no one in this country, be it an institute or an individual has been able to design an Operating System, or a compiler or a computer language. This is indeed abysmal and painful. Instead of wasting so much resources in IT and computer science where the graduates are of so low quality, why not engage these people in industrial training and vocational training which will at least be useful to produce skilled manpower for our factories. These are very very pertinent issues which will determine the future course of this country.

Each faculty in IIT will have 5 to 10 PhDs in a lab. And how many vacancies are there for faculty positions? As you asked in this video, does India need many non-IT-CSE engineers? If we don't need them, we will also not need so many faculty in the non-IT-CSE field, so we might not need to produce so many PhDs in non-IT-CSE.
