Implications of the new 10% EBC quota on private institutions:
• Intake capacity at public institutions may go up by 25%,
stiffening the competition for top students
• Of the 8 lakh engineers currently graduating every year, only
about 40% are getting placed. This rate would drop further.
The Employability Crisis
Source: Aspiring Minds Report on National Employability of Engineers, 2016
Engineering graduates getting
placed in different roles are still
severely under-skilled, with
employability rates at 10% or below.
Majority of placements are
happening in ITeS/BPO/Support
roles.
