KEY POINTS
Engineering principles learned in college are rarely applied in the world of software or product development. Freshly minted graduates are not really career-ready to take on the task of developing and maintaining the world’s computer systems.
Root causes
· The root causes of these problems are due to the diverse set of conflicting visions and goals of the key stakeholders.
· The majority of students never wanted to pursue engineering but did so because of parental pressure.
· Professors had few clues about the vision of their management, and mostly stuck to teaching from exam point of view, rather than developing market oriented skills via practical classes.
· The owners of these sprawling universities, drawing strength from their business legacies, often have little experience in the field of engineering education.
· The motive to increase revenues and improve branding is paramount, and building impressive campus infrastructure to attract students is a common approach.
Utility of PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana
· The scheme provides vocational training to the youths to impart skills that are needed by the industry, here youth have more exposure to the subjects and apply the principles of Engineering.
· The certification provided, increases the employability of the youths, thus reaping the fruits of demographic dividend.
· Practical learning experience helps youth to think innovatively and helps them contribute in the field of Science and Technology.
· This scheme mostly fills the gaps present in the engineering education system in India, if this gets applied in colleges directly India will produce qualified engineers with the required skills.

Include
private engineering colleges focusing more on revenues rather than quality of
education. Try applying the relate PMKVY provisions to address the problems in
engineering education rather than just mentioning them. Keep Writing.

education today. Keep Writing
