The document discusses the oversupply of engineering graduates in India as many private colleges have opened but jobs have not increased at the same rate, leading to high numbers of vacant seats and unemployed graduates struggling to repay loans. It provides statistics on vacant seats in various states from 2015 to 2017 and links to articles about colleges seeking to shut down or change courses due to lack of demand.
