Why there is an assumption that many "ENGINEERS" in India are not employable..???

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

My Views :

       I personally feel every living creature in nature has it's own uniqueness. When we take ourselves into consideration, everyone of us has a special talent. Our duty lies in realizing that special talent that has been given to us, work hard and surge ahead in life towards success. And here, the role of parents, teachers can play a massive part. Then, why is it that some become successful and some don't,when all are equally gifted? Here is the difference. Consider the following example:

Example:

        Consider an young boy/girl who is exceptionally talented in Sports, Painting or something other than academics. The irony of our system is that you will be touted successful only only if you prove your worth in academics and I mean only in academics and nothing else in most of the cases. The problem with the above case is that the boy/girl who is talented in sports, painting, dancing or singing...etc has to sit in the same class with the boy/girl who is talented in academics. So, naturally comparison starts and judging of individuals takes place. The boy/girl who needs to be judged based on his/her talent in the field of his/her choice is being judged on academics.

                              What deadly sin are we committing?

            The special gift of that particular boy/girl is being sacrificed for the mere lopsidedness of the society. How can the society(parents) force young minds to take up something which is out of their interest? Most of the students who sacrificed their own interest get into engineering because it is not costly as a medical course and these days with the schemes that are present in each state it is not such a difficult thing to become an engineer. This is the reason why there are more engineers in our country,and studies reveal that only few are employable...And the society comes around to question them?? Why are you not good enough?

And that's what happens when you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree rather than judging by its ability to swim.

How can we expect substance when most of them are studying for the society, sacrificing their own interests?? Who is to be blamed??

As far as possible children should be allowed to pursue their goals in whatever field they choose, and only then India can produce more efficient Engineers, Doctors, Sportsmen/Sportswomen, Dancers, Singers, Painters, Artists...etc who can make the country proud!!

There may be some exceptions for all the things I mentioned above, that said, basic education is a must for everyone.

And finally...

              Understand the UNIQUENESS of every individual on this earth.
                              They are special in their own way...!!!
