I think the part that really makes this story stand out to me is the fact that even the ones who make it into this prestigious program don't actually wind up in some top echelon. The article says they find the skill gap between what the industry wants and what they have studied is too big. It heavily implies that. The story says "Despite all the hard work engineering students put in, a survey conducted in 2019 found that 80 per cent of engineers “are not fit for any job in the knowledge economy and only 2.5 per cent of them possess technical skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that industry requires”." But if you follow the link it goes here: https://www.businesstoday.in/current/corporate/indian-engineers-tech-jobs-survey-80-per-cent-of-indian-engineers-not-fit-for-jobs-says-survey/story/330869.html https://www.businesstoday.in/current/corporate/indian-engine... That story is about engineers in general, not IIT graduates specifically. It seems disingenuous to highlight the exceptional efforts required to become an IIT graduate yet downplay graduates' post-graduation prospects by referring to engineers in general.
