I will discuss Tamilnadu's Bachelor degrees now, because i now know only about it. 48% of Engineering seats in Tamilnadu is not filled. And a majority of Tamilnadu's graduates are not employable. Why? Because there is a huge mistake in the syllabus of not only Bachelor of Engineering degrees, but even in Bachelor of Science degrees. This education system is also too focused on certain popular programs, which affects the diversity of industries in Tamilnadu, which inturn makes a majority of youth unemployable, because their skills don't have takers in industry.
The solution to all these problems is specialization of education. If there is a separate Diploma for let's say Furniture making, first it helps Diploma holders to completely understand the whole process of making different kinds of furniture and the technical process behind it, business of selling and the chain of operation behind it, entrepreneurship behind it. It helps big furniture makers easily find skilled people. Inturn flourishes the whole furniture making industry, with takers who are skilled in that particular field. In that way, it brings diversity of business happening in the country.
Next, why despite being degree holders, people are not employable. Because there is a complete mismatch what industry wants and what knowledge, education system provides them. Since, being a Masters in Computer Science, i can tell about it. The only common thing we have to provide to all computer science students is programming, remaining all can be specialised without any doubt. I would suggest that universities provide BS of 3 years with specializations like AI, IoT, Programming, with common first year for all computer science students. Note that, not for all engineering students. The most important things in these programs is that each paper should be tailor made to teach only different aspects of that particular specialization, after first year. If you teach AI, i would suggest, Every single topic of Mathematics paper should teach a particular aspect of AI, not teach unnecessary topics, even programming languages should be taught on how programs are written for AI. BS aspirants of computer science should have studied computer science as a subject in +2. These should cover as much of specialization as possible like embedded systems, robotics so and so. This specialization programs should be extended to all engineering programs like electronics, electrical engineering.
Next, how to make India updated and skilled with latest developments. Give atleast 25% seats in every college specialization programs to industry. They can directly come to second year of BS. Let the industry re - skill and up-skill with latest technology. It will happen only if colleges provide a first class education, better than industry, atleast to SMEs. Everyone from student to professionals, skills need to be updated, otherwise everyone as a nation will fail. Yes. Old specializations will go and new specializations will come as per the industrial requirements, which is very important, and will make the education system dynamic and up to date.
Next, the question of recruitment. Is specialisation going to increase the chance of employment. Obviously yes. Companies will be more than happy to recruit a person, who has shown good performance in that particular field, as they are already experts in that field, which is verified, and needs less training or none sometimes. Will a electronic student's chance of employment increases, because earlier he can go even to a software company. Now also nobody says u can't go to a software company. But, why would you choose an electronic field, if u want to be a software engineer. It's not your aspiration. More electronic companies are going to come in the future, as the skill available has increased. New jobs will be created and new diversified fields will come.
I can assure you that, if Colleges in tamilnadu provide these kind of diplomas, maximum seats will be filled and there will be a resurrection of education field and inturn bringing development to tamilnadu as a whole.
