38% of IIT Graduates Went Unplaced in 2024. What's Happening at the Other 40,000 Colleges?
A college degree is no longer a guarantee of employment. With 38% of IIT students remaining unplaced in 2024 and India's graduate employability falling to 42.6%, the challenge extends far beyond elite institutions. The real gap is no longer access to knowledge - it's the ability to apply it in real-world situations. As companies invest months retraining graduates before they become productive, the question is no longer whether students have degrees, but whether they have the skills to contribute from day one. The future belongs to learners who can execute, adapt, and solve real problems - not just pass exams.
