Why most of the engineering graduates form India do not have any application or practical skills?

We Answered:

I studied at MSU at Baroda India, so I know that this is very true.

Colleges do not work with Industries and students just want to pass with hi marks so they do not try anything other than books and notes. For example they have to write journal, which is nothing but copy after copy of same thing year after years. Students do not want to go to see real things in the industries or construction site.
They do not go to classes (many many) just copy some ones notes, but pass with distinction. They have no home work.

So Graduates from India have no practicle training and vocational back ground as they get in to job market. They have operated only a bicycle at the most. They can not cut a sheet metal even with two hands.

However they catch up fast once they are in working environment.
They do well in any field and company.

One of my US interviewer asked me what machines I used as a child? I said a bicycle when I was 15. He said he drove a tractor when he was 6 year old. He was surprized that I became a Mech. Engr. He gave me job to design tractor and I did very well.

Indian students have vision if not the practical experience at the on set. India was very rural but now it is becoming more indstrial. What India needs is more mass production Industries, own and foreign, so future graduates will have both vision and the hands on knowledge too.
