Academia & Industry

Currently, there is a wide gap between the acquired knowledge and required knowledge in India. Students gain qualifications but find it challenging to obtain employment because the expectations and aspirations of employers are different from those of educational institutions.

The educational institution emphasizes theory and equips students with theoretical inputs and knowledge, which is far away from the expectations of employers. Employers look for 'plug-and-play' candidates to meet the industry's expectations. In this regard, we are working to bridge the current gap between educational institutions and industry expectations.

Present Scenario:-

Currently, there is a mismatch between the industry's expectations and availability in academia. It must be bridged earnestly and immediately. There are several challenges in the present Indian education system, including an excessive emphasis on memory and a minor focus on creativity. The rapid pace of change in the outside business environment and the advanced technology must bring industry and academia together to bridge the enormous gap between them.

Skill disruptions are changing the prosperity of global societies today. With the presence of a vast youth population, India has a demographic dividend and strategic advantage globally. Having employable and deployable students is crucial in taking India forward economically. To conclude, an integrated effort from all stakeholders, including educators, students, parents, educational institutions, industry, intellectuals, and nonprofits, is essential to bridge the existing skills gap between academia and industry.
