With the percentage of employability of graduates declining with each passing year, it definitely calls for the cause of the issue to be acknowledged and treated effectively. Officiating Vice-Chancellor of University of Pune, Sanjay Chahande said, "The prevailing higher education system needs to be more flexible in terms of adapting to the modern day changes.”  He added that "Promoting liberal education can be a good alternative in this direction to help the system come out of an age-old structured format."  He also said that "Inter-disciplinary studies should be taken by students instead of going for traditional studies," reported TOI.

It‘s very essential for young grads to improve their employability apart from the changes required in the education and teaching system of the country. Firstly, good communication skill is vital as the ability to organize and express thoughts effectively is the key to get closer to one’s employment prospectus. It is seen that a lot of fresh graduates are unable to make it through the first level tests and interviews because of the lack of these skills even while domain related skills might be in place.

Secondly having problem solving skills are important as organizations look for individuals who are problem solvers.  With the world around us constantly evolving, there is a need for individuals who look at changes and problems as challenges that need to be met rather than difficult issues that cannot be resolved. The advantage here being that problem solvers are constantly testing assumptions and taking the context of data and circumstances into account.

Personal effectiveness is another important criterion. It is noted that emotionally mature individuals with a sound understanding of themselves and those around them are able to effectively manage the organizational dynamics around them. Goal setting and action planning, teamwork and conflict management skills, time management and productivity are other skills that contribute to the effectiveness at the workplace.

The best practice would be to let students learn from the industry and to have strong university programs that can help resolve the employability issue. The blend of the two would definitely help increase the percentage of employable grads in the coming years.
