Only 8.25% Graduates Work in Jobs Matching Qualifications: NITI Aayog
NITI Aayog stresses the existence of an acute education-to-employment gap in India, where merely 8.25% of graduates are in occupations that correspond to their education level. With outdated curricula, poor industrial-academic connections and low numbers of apprentices, India needs to adopt a curriculum linked to industries, vocational training and apprenticeship to ensure employability.
Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) & APAAR
The Academic Bank of Credits (ABC) is a UGC-regulated digital repository that enables students to store, transfer, and redeem academic credits across recognised institutions. APAAR provides a lifelong 12-digit digital student ID linked to Aadhaar, DigiLocker, and ABC. Introduced under NEP 2020, these reforms promote flexible learning, student mobility, secure digital records, and seamless credit recognition while supporting lifelong education.
