The discussions involved the need of skill-related programmes for the students, to make them suitable for the workforce.

The curriculum that is being taught is decades old, about 20-25 years old and is not relevant to today’s industry requirements or a particular sector. While the industry is clear that they are looking for people with good attitude, certain domain knowledge and a bit of the relevant technology, said Parikshit Markandey indicating that there is a good supply of graduates but of no use.
