Kushal Vijay’s Post

The employment conundrum facing graduates is real. the recent news that 36 % of students at IIT mumbai are yet to be placed makes me think if this is happening at one of the best tech colleges in India then the issue is much larger and grave. The truth is It's a complicated issue with no clear answer. But, consider this: Millions of university-educated people are unemployed (or underemployed), yet many companies struggle to fill skilled positions. What gives? Here's the thing: employers want skills, not just degrees. But skills are harder to measure, so degrees are what get recognized. They seem "safe", "standardized", and "measurable". But, they don't always correlate with employability. In today's job market, the skill set you bring is what matters. So, my advice? Invest in your skills, not just your degree. Get experience. Build relationships. Solve problems. These will be what really sets you apart to potential employers, even more than your degree. What do you think, let me know ?

#vote #vote_for_future #vote_for_new_genration From January till now I have seen more than 10000 hiring posts. In which more than 98% people required experienced candidates. Now you can calculate the unemployment ratio that out of 10000, 98% people are looking for experienced candidates. 2% people require freshers. Now you can imagine post graduates, MBA graduates, IIT graduates, you can get an idea where their career is going, how will they get jobs, how will their families run. Just imagine and you will get goosebumps. Thinking that those children who are studying, despite studying, are not getting jobs, are not able to run their families, what would you have done if you were in such a situation? Just think, if you lose your job and are unable to get a job for the next 3 months, how will you run your family? In this era of inflation, you won't be able to buy a paracetamol tablet. I can say this with certainty, so do #vote this time and #vote_very_responsibly.

Saturation in engineering careers For last twenty years software and services industry has created very large number of jobs in India. In USA an extreme bubble has similarly created very large number of jobs particularly in startups. From my analysis of macroeconomics and technology I can say that this is clearly unsustainable. For the current students and young working professionals growth in career is going to be much more difficult than people who are in their 40s and beyond. India is currently churning out too many engineers. To provide meaningful employment to every young person in India a GDP growth rate of almost 9% is necessary. This is off course very difficult. Students and young professionals shouldn't be demoralized if they fail to get their dream jobs at the start of career. Young people who are just starting their carrer now can be easily productive for atleast 50 years. You must keep on upgrading skill set continuously and be a life long learner. Success is assured for those people who are disciplined, hardworking, optimistic, constantly learning and who take care of their health and wellness. All the best.

Everyone is talking about IIT’s placement statistics. But these are just 2000 students. We should be worried about 15 lakh+ students who will be graduating this year. NLU students will somehow find them in a job (if they need to) and a lot of companies will actually be ready to roll out offers to them. But what about students from tier-3 colleges. Who constitute the majority of the law students. Unfortunately skills can’t solve the problem of unemployment. And the slow progress in litigation shift them towards corporate sector. The number of TOP companies in India are limited. Getting skilled will just help you to gain knowledge & become proficient at individual level. But what about the firms who have tiny place for freshers ? My advice would be simple, get the job at whatever the best salary you can, give time on your skills and experiences. Don’t run blindly for FAANG, Remote or any kinds of jobs. Economy is tough so you better be ready to adapt.✅ Then after getting into the industry, you’ll get ample opportunities to switch and it gets a little easier with experience. Do your best, learn skills and definitely your efforts will pay off. #career #employment

Respected Narendra Modi Sir, One sincere request. Just like Pariksha pe charcha, it is also better to conduct "Rozgaar pe charcha" as every young unemployed freshers, middle-aged with work experience gaps are also facing huge crisis. No companies are following their recruitment criterias sincerely. Please keep an event having unemployed people discussing the issues. Especially freshers are neither school going kids, nor MDs or CEOs with huge experience. Yes, they are passout and just finished their academic life with 0 experience. I would also better request to focus on development of Per capita income along with GDP growth and not GDP growth alone. Let me give you a simple example of this: In a nuclear family with two kids you find a father earns say Rs 2000 per month, mother also earns Rs 2000. Along with the kids who are grown up graduates, each of them work & earn Rs 100 per month. Altogether total family income is INR 4600. This is the overall GDP. So average income will be (2000+2000+100+100)/4 = 4200/4 =INR 1050 which is average per capita income. All are just rough estimate to just explain the basic economics. This average is reflected only because of the parents income and not due to children's contribution though all would have put their equal efforts in their workplace. The difference in pay is due to experience. Our parents who are now in their 50s or 60s with huge experience didn't face huge competitive scenario in their education life as what today's generation face. Today young graduates are the one who face the maximum stress in their career. Over and above experience criteria in jobs for freshers are creating issues. Even inflation made things more tough. The per month income of Rs 100 which our parents earned when they were college graduates was having some value which todays generation of graduates don't get to benefit from same Rs 100. The brand name based on competiton of tier-1, tier-2 and tier-3 colleges has made situations more tough. Yes, it is now the AICTE, UGC, NSDC has started to work on bringing a huge transformation by focusing on skill developments in many colleges. No doubt on that. But I would overall better suggest to look on development of individuals per capita income in accordance with skill development. This grievance is about middle income groups.

Sharing a recent success story. It was Feb-March 2019, with General Elections round the corner. In those days, we held classes for job related training in districts in Bengal, towns like Kalyani, Kharagpur, Jhargram, Durgapur and other small towns. A young boy met me in Tarakeshwar and narrated his story. He came from a poor family, his father had passed away when he was 6. His mother took a loan against jewellery and ensured he did his BTech in Computer Science. Sadly, he did not get through the campusing due to his lack of interview skills. The college was substandard, trying its best to make money at the expense of the students. There was 5 batches of Computer Science with almost 600 students. Barely 350 had got placed. He was now 25, with no work experience. Asked me to get him a job. To which I said that no one would get him a job that way but I could upskill him for a job. A few days later, he called up agitated saying that he had almost been cheated by a fake recruiter who had asked him for Rs 25,000 but he had escaped in time. I guided him on filing a complaint and ensured that the fake recruiter was reported. After that, I could see his respect for me had gone up quite a bit. Some interviews were arranged. None of them clicked. In one case, the interview went to the final round and then got stuck for reasons unknown. In between, I counselled him for 5-6 sessions over 2 months on Group Discussion Skills, Interview Skills, Resume Writing, LinkedIn optimisation and stress management during the interview. By Nov 2019, our program was wound up as the district response was poor. In another 4 months, the pandemic ensure that the world turned upside down, never to revert to the same status again. This year in April, the boy called me again. He was now 30, working as a Project Officer in the DM office in Hooghly District on a permanent job. Referred a lady candidate to me who had done a course in flight hospitality from a well known service provider. No skills had been imparted, no knowledge of aviation was forthcoming. The young lady did not know basic terms in the aviation industry. I then asked why the boy remembered me after 5 yrs plus. 'Sir whatever skills you taught me, should have been taught to me in my BTech. Because of that, I could not get through the campusing. I got lot of value add from you and this job is only due to those skills I got from you. Am forever grateful to you.' 5 yrs on, the problems stay the same. However, if you are true to your profession, the referrals will keep coming.

The Skills Gap: Why So Many Young Indians Are Struggling to Find Jobs? In a country like India, where we have such a large, young population, it's surprising that so many of us are still struggling to find jobs. But the truth is, it's not always about a lack of opportunities. The main issue we face today is the skills gap. Our education system is still teaching us things that don’t quite match what today’s companies need. Most industries, especially tech, are looking for specific skills, but we’re not getting the right training for that. So, we end up with a situation where there are jobs, but not enough "job-ready" people. Who’s responsible? Well, it's all connected: - Colleges and schools need to upgrade their syllabus. - Companies should invest more in training freshers instead of only looking for experienced hires. - Government programs like Skill India are there, but they need to work better on the ground and reach more youth. At the end of the day, if we really want to tackle unemployment, we have to close this skills gap. It’s not just about creating jobs – it’s about making sure that our people have the right skills for them. Let’s come together: educators, industries, and government to fix this, and help our youth build a brighter future. ⛓️💥Follow Rahul V Shetty for more such posts.
