Until a few decades ago, engineering was one of the most in-demand careers in the country. It takes extraordinary skills and talents to earn a place in an engineering school. Indian engineers are highly valued and international companies want to hire such people. This has led to a situation where most American engineers are of Indian descent. However, over the years, it was noticed that the employability of engineering graduates in the country began to decline significantly. In the process, the engineering began to lose the luster it once had. In 2018, India was producing around 1.5 million engineering graduates annually. About 40% of them found jobs through on-campus internships or the same year they graduated. Another 40% took about a year to find a job. The remaining 20% take two years or more to find the job of their choice. If that wasn't enough, many engineering graduates who find employment are expected to work in the BPO industry or other industries separate from their specialty. This trend is indeed worrying and can be attributed to the fact that today's students lack employable skills. This article explores some of those reasons. A number of factors have contributed to this decline, including the difficulty of the study program, the attractiveness of alternative pathways to good technical jobs, and the unattractiveness of projected employment pathways for engineering graduates . This decline comes at a time when employers of engineers are facing new challenges due to globalization, outsourcing and the need to “move up the food chain” in terms of innovation and technical expertise to remain competitive – thereby creating demand for more qualified professional engineering graduates. . Much of what needs to be done to make engineering more attractive to bright students is well known, but educational institutions, engineering employers and government policy makers have been slow to take active steps to address these problems effectively. The author tries to give a full description of "what can be done".
