Build interdisciplinary skills
Yes this is staggering, while India does create more than a lakh engineers a year. Less than 4% go on for a post grad and only 2% go of the post grads get a phd. Most of the
crucial challenges that India faces in engineering need interdisciplinary courses. e.g This is something engineering colleges woefully lacks.
What can be done?
1. Revamp UG and PG courses with interdisciplinary courses
2. Give incentives for students opting for postgrad
3. Change GATE pattern to focus on problem solving skills rather than rote memorization.
4. Create awareness among young students that there are more interesting problems to solve in fields other than IT.
5. Incubate entrepreneurs.
