According to various industrialists and HR managers,
They want to hire engineers but they are not getting quality engineers.
We can increase the chances of our employability just bu doing few things:
Many of the mechanical engineers do not find jobs and many other get jobs well below their technical qualification. Yet, one-sixth of the students choose engineering after their schooling.
Well, if some (many?) engineers are jobless, it could also be due to their lack of adequate knowledge and skills, not necessarily because there aren't opportunities. My father was an engineer and he was earning enough!
As long as you pick up the right skills from a reasonably good college & are sufficiently self driven, you will surely do well.
As of 2014, 49% of engineering graduates are unemployable in any sector, and 13% of computer science graduates are unemployable in IT sector.

The students who fall in this percentage are mostly the ones who took a department and engineering in general just for the pay it offers. My advice would be to not seek a job because of its pay but rather by how much you enjoy it. At least you won’t procrastinate. Because when you do what you love, you love what you do (if that made sense).

Many are forced to take up engineering in this job-biased country by their parents and this may be why they don’t study well. Therefore, they get bad grades and are not recommended by colleges.
It’s time we changed that!
