Report Finds 75% of Indian Higher Education Institutions Not Industry-Ready

A TeamLease Edtech report reveals that 75% of Indian higher education institutions are not industry-ready, with only 16.67% achieving placement rates above 75% within six months of graduation. The study highlights major gaps in curriculum alignment, industry engagement, and practical training, noting that only 8.6% of institutions fully align programs with industry needs. Limited internships, low industry participation in teaching, and scarce integration of recognized certifications further hinder student employability, underscoring the need for systemic reforms.
