What Ails Indias Graduates_35999

One thing that didn't change since India's independence is that it is still a developing country. Even after more than 60 years, India is still struggling to find its way into that elite group of developed countries. Although there are factors, reasons and high profile money making businesses which are too discreet to an average Indian to talk about, one prime reason that pops up in a common mind is 'unemployment'. The unemployment issue is not only kicking the unfortunate and less educated ones but also the fresh and promising graduates. So what inspires such a situation in a developing nation as India, where every foreign group is searching market ground to dig out the moolah?.

The millions of graduates, passing out and entering in the real and not-so-helping world of money-makers, usually fail to deliver the needs of these high-paying organizations. Even the top graduates often disappoint their campus-hiring companies and lose out on that 'dream' job.

Top organizations all over India end up spending millions in training the graduates who are already been trained from our assumed-to-be strictly certified and apparently well-graded colleges. While our students assume it's their degree that is not enough, what they forget is the 'the need of knowledge'. Every year these graduates, thousands of them, fly abroad for even more expensive degrees.

To start with, what our students lack is the practical knowledge. Writing on a paper and solving critical numericals on a calculator is a good skill, but applying these core principles and knowledge is an altogether different and not-so-merry task. Organizations believe the courses that are been offered in most of the colleges are not up to mark in growing an practical intellect in our hard-working students.

Good practical knowledge and a proper hands-on experience is the prime need in all our educational courses. These things will not only give students a wide exposure to their subject but also boost up the confidence and intellect of our young minds. A decision of including a compulsory 6-month internship is believed to be implemented for all engineering courses. A good step by our usually far-from-perfect educational department. The rule, if well implemented and cleanly followed should inspire other non-technical streams too.

While we talk about this 'great Indian employment pinch', the one vital area that often remains unquestioned is our school education approach. Our schools encourage and fire up the infantile minds to score ,Mens Ugg Classic Short, score and score more marks. The teaching and studying approach is nothing but a competition for everyone in this country. Schools feed students with some words from a well-written book, while coaching classes smartly offer some more help to them. The point is, our education system kills a student's right to research, question,UGG Jimmy Choo Sora, argue,Black Uggs Boots, experiment and apply various concepts and ideas that he or she learns.

Intelligence without intellect is of no use and intellect without intelligence very rare. The globe accepts Indians as truly intelligent humans, but what they never tell you is that we lack the core intellect.
