NITI Aayog Report Highlights Graduate Job Mismatch and Calls for Skills Integration
A NITI Aayog report highlights a significant mismatch in India between graduates' education and job market requirements, with only 8.25% employed in roles aligned to their qualifications. The report calls for integrating skills training from early schooling, expanding apprenticeships, and promoting flexible, industry-linked education to improve employability. It notes that many degrees lack practical exposure and entrepreneurial preparation, urging reforms to better connect education, skills, and employment outcomes amid uneven skilling program results.
