Purpose of this paper is to study the dialectics of employability and the employment of engineering graduates in the situation having more passed out graduates than the demand.
The perception of employers towards employability skills required for entry level is the key point in the employment. This study seeks to address the three questions: (i) which skills do employers consider important when hiring new engineering graduates? (ii) how satisfied are employers with the skills of engineering graduates? and (iii) in which important skills are the engineers falling short? The study confirms a widespread dissatisfaction with the current graduates-64% of employers hiring fresh engineering graduates are only somewhat satisfied with the quality of the new hires or worse.
The study revealed that there is significant difference between the perception of students and their employers.
