Top global institutions find themselves constrained by their own legacy. The need for a high-quality experiential and multidisciplinary education is becoming imperative. With over a million engineers graduating across India every year, we have an opportunity to code the DNA of 21st century Technology and Innovation.
With a Gross Enrollment Ratio (GER) of 24.5%, India needs over 800 new Universities to be built in the next 10 years. Further there is a huge quality challenge with 80% engineering graduates considered unemployable. India’s engineering education needs radical change.
Plaksha can become a model of possibility for Reimagining higher education in not just India but the world.
