Placement training these days have pigeon holed learning to a specific area or company. Colleges have become mere placement engines. The skewed objective of producing scores of degree holders who think and act alike started to back fire. Industry expectations have gone far off and students from such run-a-mill colleges are settling for low paying jobs causing a strain to the growth of the economy as a whole.

Colleges encouraging the art of lateral thinking in students will succeed in the future. AI and technology advancements are rethinking the way teaching and learning happens. Any repeatable job will be replaced by Sophias (AI Robot), while the training and placement wing ought to bring exposure into various areas that a student has to explore.

To sum it up, an education institution that allows students to explore and excel in their own interest area will lead the pack on job creation and transformation of education as a whole.
