In today' scenario . It has been observed that once the student join the institution, it has been mandatory for him to take practical training in one or more industry for 2 to 3 months in a year as an apprentice or internship. It is not all effective and mere a formalities. Instead, institution should tie up with various industry and put a system of assessibility of each student in which area he has been the interest . Accordingly he Shiism be provided detailed and meaningful training.

IIT students to be given two options before start of course. 1. Pay full fees without any govt subsidy. 2. Take Full GOVT subsidy(free education), but have to work for govt institutes after completion of Education for atleast 2years with payment. Fair choice given to them and Indias best talent will work for the country atleast for 2 years. If given proper work environment surely they will not run after money even after 2 years.

It is very important to update the current syllabus. I am a passout of an NIT. I graduated in ECE and trust me, I have no clue why I was taught black and white CRT TV. I mean that is completely obsolete in today's industry. And not just this, there are many other topics and subjects that are completely "useless". Update the syllabus. Be more specific to industry and research. Nobody needs any more traditional syllabuses.

It is unfortunate that the best students selected by the best institutes like IITs, after completing their studies leave the country to serve US or Europe etc. To discourage this two tier approaches is needed.1. provide the best of lectures, e books, access to lab to all students of all institutes. Tax the ones who migrate, tax may be as little as 2- 5% of their salary. Besides this all must be encourage sports, endurance, teamwork, collaboration, hygiene, respect to originality and honesty etc.

Honorable HRD Minister Smt. Smriti Ji My personal view to introduce Project Based Learning in All Subjects specifically in Engineering & Technology. Thank you for your concern.

There are so many institutions such ACMA, IMTMA, CII, FICCI etc. who are fully or partially or even indirectly supported by Government. They should digitally video graph all their seminars, meetings exhibitions and the same be available across the country to Academic Institutions and MSME to access the same as the cost of attending these have increased many-fold and so out of reach. Also these will offer a very practical and realistic teaching platform to the academia.

Creating a fund to elevate the Technical institutions to enable them to be worthy of Industry-Academic partnership. There needs to be regional centers where projects can be approved locally and given to Academic Institutions with approved funding. Whatever mechanism is being created is only targeted towards the Large Industry. Incetivise MSME to employ fresh graduates. As of now the employability is very low.

During the graduation years, students must be exposed to relevant work. This will enable them to connect the theory to practice and also aid in developing employability skills which are very often not included in the syllabus. Compulsory work experience should become a part of acquiring their degree. 'Shadowing' is another way to expose the students to the work, where each student by watching the employee work, learns other aspects of being employed, like time management, interpersonal relations

CAD/CAM/CAE/RP/PLM/ERP/CRM/SCM all are extensively used for designing, producing, servicing, retiring and replacing products. We need trained engineers/technicians in all these areas.But investment is costly and most of the institutions shy away from such investments. Centralised common facilities are needed in major nodal centres of learning.Indigenous development of relevant software as done by NIC needs all support. Skill development in these areas would help produce employable engineers.

Biggest challenge is in Tier 2 and 3 colleges. 90% of students study in these colleges where they are not good teachers or infrastructure. Industry will not accept students who do not meet minimum standard. Hving finishing school in last year is not the solution. Focus needs to be how do we serve such a large numbers of students. We need India centric model. Can we motivate IIT and NIT students to help less fortunate? I would like to share my idea with relevant authority.
