Quality and Employability of Graduates Questionable: Shashi Tharoor

"I think institutions must make note of the findings and impart training so that graduates are ready to be absorbed into the industry workforce without additional time consuming and expenses training," he added.

The view is to focus on developing ready-to-deploy talent with the standards of skill requirement for IT-BPM industry. These requirements entail defining consistent standards of performance and quality and stabilizing recruitment procedures, Tharoor said.

Targeting this gap, AICTE chairman S S Mantha said the government is setting up community colleges across the country to provide vocational education in a quasi-university environment.

"The government is setting up 120 community colleges by next year, of which 70 would be on lines of polytechnic and 50 would impart education related to Arts, Science and commerce," Mantha said.

These colleges will impart vocational education to the youth to prepare them for the job requirement demanded by the industries, he added.
