IBRD helping improve Indian technical education
Updated: Mar 01, 2014 02:13:26pm
Jaipur, Mar 1 (KNN) The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development has tied with various Indian universities to improve the standard of technical education.
One such institute is the University College of Engineering, Kota which is planning to equip itself with technology and equipment so that its students will receive hands on training.
The college is planning to procure a ME-Laser Doppler Vibrometer and in this context it has invited bids for supply of the same.
According to a pan-India labour report released by Teamlease, the largest staffing company, about 57 per cent of India's youth suffer from some degree of unemployability, while 53 per cent of the employed youth lack specific skill sets and only 8 per cent of youth are unemployed.
Even those who have an engineering degree are often not employable as they lack updated technical and soft skills. This is because, in most cases, the course curriculum is outdated and equipment used is obsolete.
Significantly, the rise in number of people who are unable to meet the industry's needs due to the failure of institutions to impart career-oriented knowledge and skills-set is a pressing problem, a report said. (KNN/ES)
