Employability gap in graduates: Nasscom asks education system to do more

The USD 245-billion Indian technology industry on Wednesday flagged the "employability gap" in engineering graduates, saying that the education system is not focusing on building strong foundational and professional skills.

Over the last two decades, Indian IT companies have been rendering services for the world courtesy of cost arbitrage and the number of engineering graduates which the country puts out into the market every year. But the changing nature of requirements seems to have led to disappointments. Ghosh said that today's engineers are not working in backoffice any more, but sitting with the customers as the industry shifts from service provider to digital transformation partner. our current educational system does not focus on building g

The Delhi University will begin the admission process for undergraduate courses with the launch of a Common Seat Allocation System (CSAS) portal on Monday, officials have said. The university this year is taking admission on the basis of their scores in the newly-launched Common University Entrance Test (CUET), which concluded on Tuesday. According to the initial plan, all phases of the CUET-UG were scheduled to conclude on August 20. The delay in the CUET-UG resulted in a delay in the admission process at the university, which was originally expected to launch the portal by the last week of August. Admission through the CSAS will be conducted in three phases -- submission of the CSAS 2022 application form, selection of programmes and filling of preferences, and seat allocation and admission.
