[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492843914973","data":" In a survey last year, the employability assessment company Aspiring Minds found out that only 7% engineers are actually employable and in a survey conducted among Computer Science and IT Engineering students last week, they found out that only 4.77 per cent candidates can write the correct logic for a program. In other words, only 4.77 students meet the basic requirement for any IT job. In a country that where about 2,50,000 IT jobs are created every year, this is a shocking fact.<\/p>It was also noted in the study that while more than 60 per cent candidates cannot even write code that compiles, only 1.4 per cent can write functionally correct and efficient code.  <\/p>Why is this problem arising despite having about 3300 engineering colleges in the country?<\/p>The simplest answer to this is the combination of outdated syllabi that the colleges have; the emphasis on getting marks and clearing the exam as opposed to learning the subject; the fact that Indian college system emphasises more on submitting hand written assignments for marks adds to the problem as most of the students' time is gone in writing these assignments, the time which they can spend in developing their skills; and the fact that the IT companies never or rarely communicate their requirements to colleges. <\/p>For instance, languages like Ruby and PHP which are the need of the hour in the web programming field are not even taught in colleges. The hiring companies, who often recruit in bulk, don't bother communicating what knowledge pool that they exactly require, to the colleges. Also, based on the way companies recruit from colleges and filter the applicants, they take it for granted that the students make an effort to learn more than what the college teaches them.<\/p>A CSE student, on condition of anonymity, says \"We learn the basics of programming but nothing beyond that. I learnt a lot of things like Python and Android development by myself. The basic Java that I learnt in college helped me but what I feel is that the curriculum needs to change drastically to suit the growing needs. When I got interested in IoT, I realised I have to learn Python as most of the programming related to that is done in that language.\" <\/p>Android programming is also a hot requirement but while colleges teach Java, they don't teach the framework and other technical aspects which are required to build applications. While some colleges are now adding these much-in-use programming languages in the curriculum, most colleges still follow syllabus that was designed about 20 years ago.<\/p>The fact that there are a lot of certificate-issuing institutes in areas like Ameerpet, only adds to the whole problem. The solution here seems to be a perfect sync between colleges and companies, with the companies conducting skill development programs or some such, depending on the feasibility and the colleges updating their syllabus to suit the fast paced world. While the syllabi that are there in colleges now is absolutely required for students, considering the fact that most of it teaches basics, a tweak in the syllabus can be done, with more emphasis on the new technologies.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1492854073576","data":"Image for representational purpose only<\/i>.<\/p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tasman.ac.nz\/assets\/img\/sliders\/revolution\/bg5.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Image Source<\/a><\/i><\/p>"}]
