Industry – Academia Bridge: Channelising Collaborative Models

According to Dr. G. R. C Reddy, Director, National Institute of Technology, Goa – India today produces some 1.5 million engineering graduates a year, most of them in what we call circuit branches- computer Science, IT, Electronics and Electrical Engineering. It is, however, agreed by all that 75% of these graduates are unemployable as graduate engineers. The reasons: both government and private colleges lack teachers of appropriate scholastic standard. Again, this is so because bright students are not joining post-graduate programmes nor are they taking up research/teaching as a profession.
