Implications of the new 10% EBC quota on private institutions:

• Intake capacity at public institutions may go up by 25%,

stiffening the competition for top students

• Of the 8 lakh engineers currently graduating every year, only

about 40% are getting placed. This rate would drop further.

The Employability Crisis

Source: Aspiring Minds Report on National Employability of Engineers, 2016

Engineering graduates getting

placed in different roles are still

severely under-skilled, with

employability rates at 10% or below.

Majority of placements are

happening in ITeS/BPO/Support

roles.
