Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive picture of work-readiness and employability among Indian graduates transitioning from university to careers in the Indian labour market. More particularly, it presents macro and micro data from various industry sectors in India to chart the dimensions and trends in graduate work transitions in India. Furthermore, the chapter presents an empirical view of three main stakeholders’ (policymakers, employers and educational stakeholders) assessments of the work-readiness competence deficits of Indian graduates and their possible causes. Finally, it discusses recommended solutions by these stakeholders for making Indian graduates work-ready.
