n 2006 a study conducted by NASSCOM (the National Association of Software and Service Companies) concluded that only one in four engineering graduates was employable. The rest apparently lacked the requisite technical skills, or the ability to make even a simple oral presentation in English, or even the ability to work in a team.



That tied in with an earlier report by global consulting powerhouse McKinsey, to the effect that only 15 per cent of India's finance and accounting professionals met the standards required to work in a multinational. For good measure that study added: 'Only about 10 per cent of Indian students with generalist degrees in the arts and humanities is suitable, compared with 25 per cent of all Indian engineering graduates.'
