India produces a significant number of STEM graduates annually, yet only 42.6% are employable, according to Mercer-Mettl's India Graduate Skill Index 2025. This figure has decreased from 44.3% in 2023, highlighting the urgent need for educational reform. To address this gap, universities are increasingly partnering with edtech platforms like Simplilearn to create curricula that meet industry demands. For instance, Lovely Professional University (LPU) has introduced a Professional Certificate Program in AI and Machine Learning for its B.Tech Computer Science and Engineering students, integrating live instruction and hands-on projects with globally recognized certifications. Similarly, K Ramakrishnan College of Technology (KRCT) has expanded its enrollment from 130 to over 900 students in AI and Data Science programs within a year, demonstrating strong demand for outcome-driven education. The National Education Policy 2020 and the 2025 Union Budget promote AI-driven education, encouraging universities to prioritize employability from the start of academic programs. As AI becomes increasingly vital in the job market, universities that adapt their curricula in collaboration with industry will be better positioned to equip students with the necessary skills for future careers.
