Indian Engineer?
Problem Statement

BLOODBATH IN IT SECTOR
56,000IT professionals to lose jobs this year in 7 top IT firms.
Headhunters India says that job cuts will be around 200,000 annually, for the
next 3 years.

JOBS SHRINK ABROAD TOO
70%of H-1B visas went to Indians in 2015, mostly for technology
jobs. ASSOCHAM estimates that the visa curb will reduce jobs by 40%
or more

POOR PLACEMENTS
1.5millionengineers graduate every year, but only 500,000 get
absorbed in the market. Campus placements are low; 40% in AICTE
colleges and 66% in IITs.

NUMBER OF ENGINEERING COLLEGES
3,288engineering colleges exist under the AICTE, more than
double from the 1,511 colleges ten years ago. There are also 23 IITs, 31
NITs and 20 IIITs (As on 22nd May 2017)

BUT QUALITY OF ENGINEERS GOES DOWN
80%of engineers in India are unemployable, says National
Employability Report 2016, conducted by job skills matching platform
Aspiring Minds

So, we know the problem is Grim…
Now, the
Let us go for a four prong approach
A.FDP on “How to Conduct Projects”
B.INNOVATE with Industry
C.M.tech by Research
D.Making them Placement Ready

A. FDP on “How to Conduct Projects”
• Projects to be floated by the faculty
• Identification of feasibility by all faculty in the department
• Add one student of 3rd year and one student of 2nd year, who will take this legacy on
• Multi discipline team for projects
• Publish theTechnical Paper in UGC approved journal
• Participate in Project exhibitions
• Continue with the same project for three years
• Show to MSME and IEDC, DST

B. Innovate with Industry
Solution from Different
RegisteredColleges or
University/ State or
Nation with Mentorship
from India and abroad
Problems from Different
Registered Industries with
Mentors from Industry
Funding Agencies eg. DST/
MSME/ State funding
agencies/ Industry can
choose to fund the problem

INNOVATE is Unique
• Flipboard/ Inshorts/TED/ HBC Channel Notifications/ professional
magazines are one way communication
• WIKI/ QUORA is a Question Answer Collaborative page
• LinkedIn is professional worker’s website
• No portal to communicate on practical area

C. Why should the Industry Collaborate
• ReducedTraining cost & Better Resources (CXO’s Nightmare)
• Watermelon story
• Float the M.tech. (by Research) program
• Course work of four subjects of 12-16 credits done from any university or through
Online courses (MOOCs, Swayam, NPTEL etc.) anytime.
• If completed 10 years in Industry, this can be waived off on clearance of screening
committee.

M.tech. by Research Program
• The candidate shall make the lab manual of one of the labs of UG level.
• The candidate would mentor at least one group (4 students) in their summer
training/ internship, project and technical paper presentation.
• Special Lecture(Graduate Lecture or Seminar) by the candidate in respective
department.
• The candidate will have at least two technical papers; i.e. one with UG students and
other as first name along with his guide. Both the papers must be in peer reviewed
journals and conferences.
• Criterion for successful completion: Dissertation Report as per the previous and
current experience of the candidate and based upon the technical papers
presented.
