After winning the exam battle, youth now have to face the jobs war

India's youth have successfully navigated the challenging exam landscape, but now they face a daunting task - securing a job in a competitive market. This shift from exams to employment highlights the mismatch between the supply of skilled workers and the demand for them in specific industries. The fact that India's skilling efforts are largely supply-led, focusing on training people where they are rather than where jobs are available, exacerbates this issue, making it difficult for young people to find suitable employment opportunities.

Why it matters

India's skilling effort is not aligned with job demand, which could lead to a mismatch between skills and available jobs. This could affect the country's economic growth and development.
