It is not the fault of the Indian universities that employers do not appreciate the knowledge of the students. Top Indian universities have courses which are much more difficult and more comprehensive than those offered by their American or British counterparts. It is not the duty of the universities to train people for the job market. It is the duty of the employers to train newly recruits to mould them into what the company needs. Japanese employers train their new recruits for at least 3 years in the company institutes which are just as much equipped or more so than any university in Japan. Indian employers do not invest anything at all on the employees. So they cannot blame the graduates.

Education in India needs to be more of applied education than the current theoritical education format. Whats the use of a degree when you donot know which way to turn the screwdriver to fix a screw, and this was a statement made by an engineering friend of mine after his first day at work and holding 3rd position in his university. And talking of MBAs, how do u expect a person to do something at work place when he does his graduation in subjects like civil, mechanical, electronics etc and then do an MBA in say finance and work for a Financial company crunching stock market data. Clearly this person won't have the quality skills to advise his client, b'cos his initial motivation was engineering and not finance. Our education system needs to change otherwise we will continue disecting frogs at our 11-12th and end up earning livelihood running door-to-door canvasing to open accounts.
