India is home to one of the largest education systems in the world, producing millions of graduates every year. However, there seems to be a significant gap between the education system and the job market in the country. Despite having a large pool of highly educated and skilled graduates, many companies struggle to find the right talent for their job openings.

This gap between education and employment has become a significant concern for students, parents, educators, and policymakers in India. The problem is not limited to one specific field or industry but is a widespread issue that affects graduates across various disciplines.

This gap can be attributed to several factors, such as a lack of practical skills and real-world experience, outdated curriculum, inadequate teacher training, insufficient industry-academia collaboration, and a mismatch between the skills taught in schools and those in demand in the job market.
