The time has come to let kids decide their future course. They would be better placed than their parents who grew up in the '80s when India was just waking up to technology. The future of India is advanced manufacturing. India as a nation has to leapfrog to the Industry 5.0 world. We need engineering students from all branches in the era of 3D printing.
It’s time for the Government also to take steps to make engineering and manufacturing computer science vs information technology. At Hire Mee we conduct an aptitude assessment of job seekers. It helps evaluate a test taker's logical reasoning, verbal communication and quantitative aptitude. This is a test that the Government should administer on every student in Class 10. It would guide students to follow a career that best suits their natural ability.
This needs to be followed up with an advisory body with a global view of careers in demand both in the short term and in the long term. The body needs to advise the students on the choice of careers that they would fit in naturally, job prospects post acquisition of skills and in fact, throughout their working life.
