Why Even Top IIT Degree Holders Are Now Jobless

Imagine studying very hard for years to get into the most famous schools in India, called IITs.

Many people believe that going to an IIT means you will definitely get a good job.

But lately, lots of students from these schools are not finding jobs after they graduate.

In fact, at some IITs, around 40 out of every 100 students had no job offer at the end of the placement season.

One reason is that computers and smart AI programs can now do some of the work that new graduates used to do.

Another reason is that more people are going to college, but the jobs available do not always match the courses people study.

A young man who left his engineering course went online and said an IIT degree would be 'just a tag,' because he now earns a lot of money doing marketing work.

Some people say college is still very important, while others say skills matter more than a certificate.

The Indian government is now trying to figure out how to fix this so that finishing college leads to real jobs.
