Unemployability percentage in
various job sectors
12.48 million people flood job markets
every year. 3.6 million of them are
graduates. 1.6 million graduates of
them are reported unemployable.
Due to this high unemployability rate
there is huge reduction in quality of
work and in job sustainability.
CAUSE OF UNEMPLOYABILITY
A Flawed Education System
The present education system
does not train the student to be
an employee.
 There is lack of seriousness
relating to vocational education
system.
The present efforts of upskilling
are not fruitful. India’s prime skill
development initiative has a
success rate of mere 17.6%

3. CASE STUDY OF EMPLOYABILITY OF TECHNICAL GRADUATES IN INDIA
 Even though India produces 5 lakh graduates annually, a mere 17.45% of them are
employable in major job sectors.
 Moreover only 2.68% of them are ready to be deployed directly on the projects.
 Employability decreases logarithmically with the number of colleges in the state (Arrow’s
hypothesis)
THE LACUNA IN EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
By Purcell and Pitcher report, 1996, 40% of graduate jobs are indifferent to
applicants’ subject of study.
54% of engineers are rejected because they are
not soft skill trainable in a short period of time.
Apart from the top 100 colleges majority of stud-
ents lack the required employability skills.
Thus the need of the hour is skill training.

4. Formation
of
Committee
Structuring
of the
education
system
Parallel
Training
Programme
Evaluation
and
Certification
 The Committee will consist of the Government Representatives
,Representatives from Companies & Social Scientist appointed by the
Government & approved by the companies.
An extensive research programme will be conducted to devise the scope &
structure of the syllabus.
This programme will be running Parallel to the current education system in
synchronization with the educational institutions so as not to affect the values of
the current system.
The present system will formulate a strict evaluation system based on
theoretical as well as practical skills based on standards set by the committee
We present a parallel education system that will
be made on the following steps:

5. The committee is structured as follows:
The process of formation of the committee :
•Official meetings will
have to be conducted
comprising of
government
representatives &
representatives from
various companies to
discuss about the
importance, relevance
& necessity of the
committee.
Inviting major
recruiters
•Online and offline
forums will have to be
setup to invite all the
companies of the
country to give their
views and suggestions
on the motion.
Open membership
for all companies
• Appointed by the
government and approved
by the member companies,
these scientists will justify
the aptness of the proposal
of the members in context
of the society.
Social scientists

6. Basic education
structure
Syllabus
Faculty
recruitment
The committee will formulate the scope of syllabus which will be based on the demands
of the companies .
An extensive research will be carried out by the social scientists that will focus on the
student psychology on vocational education.
Following employability skill can be considered for formulating the syllabus : -
•Communication skill
•Organizational skills
•Team work
•Computer operating skills
•Working under pressure and deadlines
•Negotiation skill
• Ability to learn and adapt
• Using your initiatives and being
self motivated
• Problem solving skills

7. The different definitions, interpretations and approaches used across sectors and
even within sectors creates confusion about expectations. The social scientists will
therefore bridge up the gaps between the companies for set setting up the standards
of employability.
Based on these facts the syllabus will be formulated which will be approved by the
companies and accepted by the government
Faculty recruitment
1)Initially teacher recruitment will be from three sources:
a)Companies will provide employees who can teach but they will have to be
approved by the committee.
b)Various college teachers who will be approved by the committee will be given
employment.
c)A walk in interview will be conducted for other appointees
2) The government will provide added benefits and UGC scale salary to attract further
teachers. Moreover a new job sector will be created which will attract further
teachers. The alumni of will also return as teachers. The system will feed itself.

8. A parallel training system is structured as follows:
1)Identification of the nodal centres
A number of colleges with a critical student strength decided on the
basis of the teacher student ratio will be identified as the nodal
centers.
2)Conducting of the classes
Via dialogues and discussions each and every college will be allotting
classes to complete the required syllabus. The college will have
complete freedom of choosing their own schedule.
3)Allotment of teachers
Teachers will be allotted giving preference to their proximity of place
of residence.
4)Structuring of classes
Our training programme is to be conducted mostly through
interactive classes and practical teaching. For which the classes to be
structured in small groups with each group consisting of
approximately 60 students and one teacher.

9. Evaluation and Certification
1)Evaluation Procedure:
a)The evaluation system will be a two stage process:
1)Theoretical Assessment: A nationwide theoretical
examination will be conducted with strict monitoring and evaluation
system.
2)Practical Assessment: A practical assessment will be
conducted on the basis of standards set by the committee and
activities and projects to be judged by the teachers themselves.
2)Certification Procedure:
The certificate and a grade sheet will be provided on the basis of the
exam conducted. Based on these grades the companies will set their
respective cutoff grades for recruitment of new employees. As a
result this certificate will certify at the same time scale the the
eligibility of the students as an employee.

10. RELATIVE ANALYSIS WITH THE DAY
PRGRAMMES:
1)NSDC has failed to create awareness for
employability education. We on the other hand
are introducing it as an interactive course.
2)NSDC has failed to attract big companies. Our
system is extensively organised and exclusively
depicts the role of the member companies.
Hence, we’ll be able to incur more major
recruiters.
3)Unemployability increases with education.
But NSDC focuses less on graduates. Whereas,
our programme is at par with the present day
graduate students.
CHALLENGES:
1)Maintaining a high teacher : student
ratio.
2)Funding
3)Initial participation of students
MITIGATION:
1) The solution to this problem has been
well explained in our faculty section.
2) The funding of our project will be in
PPP mode. The companies are
interested in creating skilled workforce.
The present problem is just lack of
planning which we solve and thus we
will attract investment.
3) Advocation by major recruiters about
their involvement and the recognition
and value they attach with certificate.

11. Impact of the programme
1) This system will produce more ready-to-deploy graduates as it will provide specialised
training to the students so that they can withstand this competitive corporate era.
2) This system will create more job opportunities in the form of teachers for this
programme.
3) This system will create more awareness for job related education as we are proposing
its introduction as a part of their syllabus.
4) Since the students are given specialised education, the quality of employees and thus,
the efficiency of the companies will be increased.
5) It will increase the demand of Indian employees in the international market.
6) It will also increase the job sustainability.
7) Unemployment caused due to the employability of the youth will be removed.
