Delhi and Bihar produce Top Engineers in India, says report

The National Employability Report, Engineering Graduates - 2014 by Aspiring Minds has revealed that Delhi and Bihar/Jharkhand lead in supplying the best talent pool of engineers in the country. The report is based on graduate class of 2013 and covers data of more than 1,20,000 engineering students from 520+ engineering colleges, across 18 Indian states. The study has been done using AMCAT, India’s Largest Employability Test conducted by Aspiring Minds.

“Our National Employability Report in its latest edition goes deep into the employability of engineering graduates - their capability, qualifications and aspirations. Looking at state-wise distribution of employable talent, we can see that while certain states produce huge quantity of engineers, the average employability is significantly low. It is clear that states need to be conscious towards better education quality rather than building more capacity,” said Himanshu Aggarwal, CEO, Aspiring Minds.

The report further states that the mushrooming growth in terms of number of engineering colleges in the country has been alarming and has come out as the major reason for low employability of engineers. The southern states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, which have the highest number of engineering colleges, continue to have lowest employability.
