Why are so many engineers unemployed?

MOST OF youths in India have this trend of joining engineering or medical colleges after opting for science in 11th or 12th . Many of them don’t have any passion for engineering and regret it later! the first mistake  some do is when they take science in 11th and 12th; No interest, no exposure and parental or society’s pressure make them join engineering colleges;  In India, A normal Engineering student is pursuing engineering because everybody is doing so ! And that’s how  the story of worthless degrees and unemployable graduates  start! Demand and supply  According to the HRD ministry, India has 6,214 engineering and technology institutions which are enrolling 2.9 million students. Around 1.5 million engineers are released into the job market every year. in the years of late 90s and the beginning of 2000s, there was a wide shortage of the engineers in India; very few engineers who got graduated from good institutes. Companies were in search of ...

Can you please provide genuine information on India's current population and average age and how many are employed and unemployed? How many are entrepreneurs and how many people have salaries?

I don’t have the proper census report on all topics; but here are some data that i have for study! Population is increasing at 1.2% annually and it’s more than our country can handle! Of the 1.21-billion people in the country, the worker population ratio is 39 percent at the national level, with 40 percent in rural areas and 36 percent in urban areas. Around 51% of Indian workers are self-employed, mostly in rural areas, while 33.5% of them are casual labour (33.5%) and only 15.6% have salaried employment. As per socio-economic study conducted by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) of the ministry of statistics and programme implementation from July 2011 to June 2012, Anant said salaried employees or workers with regular wages were nearly six times more in urban areas (41.4 percent) than 7.3 percent in rural areas, showing the wide disparity in the employment comfort level of the workforce across the country.

How will jobs be given if there is no caste in India?

No caste means, no discrimination, no powerful surname, no reservation so lets see (it’s personal opinion) Any one can be pundit, sewer cleaner, sweeper, and no discrimination in the society, people can marriage inter-caste, no honor killing, no upper/lower system (I’ll love to see how many upper caste will become sewer cleaner or marry their daughter in lower caste) The upcoming future generation hardly care about the caste because people only show discrimination when they feel/face the discrimination, society may go towards equality, it may take some time but it will become in the future. Rich people get all the facility and you will found more literate people in rich class, as education is of very high cost. Only deserving candidate get the job not reserved,(reservation in India is 50%) . Competition will be less as avg student can get the job with avg study. Mind set towards other caste will change in the mean time (it’s a slow process) ...

What is your opinion about the unemployment of engineering graduates?

First its very long and second its personal opinion,so show some empathy. 1.Lack of Interest/knowledge :- Most of the students taking admission in engineering colleges are following the masses action (everyone is doing it so why shouldn't I) or because of parental pressure. People have no interest about the field, and opt for something in which they have no knowledge. These two combination makes you graduate after four years not engineer. ( those who know/love to solve problems and have keen interest) So in the end an unemployed engineer who will change his stream after four years. Like banking, passion, photography, actor, comedian, management, government services, etc. Lack of interest leads to lower in happiness index (one of many reason of lower rank in happiness index) 2.Not so good colleges :- I'm not gonna degraded well funded Govt institutes (Faculty, infrastructure, and opportunities makes them little different), Its about those in...

Is unemployed a phase or struggle for a person?

If you see it on micro level it’s a struggle Ever since, one graduate( or get fired) have a goal how to get job , but in between the time of getting job and staying home doing nothing; is just a struggle, like You burning yourself out ; You blame yourself, even though you've sent your resume to hundreds of places. You can’t sleep or wake up in peace . Sometimes, you feel like the only time you feel happy is when you sleep, but you have to wake up and look up for jobs instead. You can’t even feel comfortable at home because you feel like you’re disturbing your family, since you don't have a job; You lose hope after every bad job interview. The sentence “We’ll call you later” is sickening. You miss your childhood , You dream of going back to those days, in which you wanted to grow up and start working, with a little smile on your face. There’s risk of losing self-confidence over the “unemployment” status but if you see it on macro level it’s just a phase mos...

Indian unemployment rate is only 3.69%, i.e., only 3.69 out of 100 people are unemployed. So why does everyone say unemployment is very high in India?

India’s unemployment rate is much higher than 3.69%. Governments always alter the statistics to look good but in this instance, it is beyond comprehension.

If BJP have full majority in India, then why don't they remove the reservation system?

Warning:- Bad English and personal views! I don’t think that BJP will ever try to remove reservation and even if they have a slight amount of interest they would do it in first 2 years, now its over ; it’s just a political scam now! Majority of the country’s population falls in reserved category ( SC- approx. 20% of total population on of India; ST-approx. 9% of total population of India; OBC-approx. 41 % of total population of India ) and the rest are the general or upper caste! Upper Caste - Those who thought they belongs to some special breed are now facing the karma ! People who never treat lower caste people as proper human, they still don’t feel like they are even human they are just following the old school tradition without second thought and feel superior over other castes and pure and don’t give the shit about other’s respect, most of them without realizing or being aware of their's actions! (Sorry! to mention but that a social truth) and it happens in democ...
