Indian IT graduates unfit for hiring - Tech Mahindra CEO
India would be one of the countries with an enormous number of millennials by the year 2020. Unemployment is one of the main concerns for this demographic. This could be because of a redundant education system that hasn't been updated to suit the needs of the industries that have been continuously evolving.
In this scenario, C.P Gurnani, CEO of Tech Mahindra, has made a statement that would shock any Indian. "94% of IT graduates are unfit for hiring", he said in a recent interview. While this is a widely known fact, that tech companies recruit candidates and offer them on-the-job training, it might be a crucial time for the ministry of education to make changes to curriculums taught in educational institutions.
