IIM Ahmedabad moved to 70th from 58th, while IIM Calcutta recorded the biggest decline among the three, falling to 95th from 64th.

IIM Ahmedabad and IIM Calcutta also remained within the global top 100. Both featured among the top 40 institutions worldwide for employability and the top 100 for Thought Leadership. IIM Ahmedabad was the only Indian institution in the top 100 for Entrepreneurship & Alumni Outcomes, ranking 84th. O.P.

VTU Partners with Google to Boost AI, Cloud and Cybersecurity Skills for Engineering Students

/ Education Community

Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) has signed a strategic academic partnership with Google LLC to equip engineering students across Karnataka with industry-focused skills, practical learning opportunities and enhanced career readiness. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in Bengaluru by VTU Vice-Chancellor Prof. S. Vidyashankar and Sanjay Jain, Head of Google for Education India. Under the collaboration, students will receive training in high-demand domains such as artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, data science and cybersecurity. The initiative will also focus on faculty development, helping educators strengthen their expertise while aligning academic programs with evolving industry expectations. Highlighting the significance of the partnership, Prof. Vidyashankar said VTU, which is affiliated with 220 engineering colleges and serves nearly 300,000 students, is committed to ensuring graduates are job-ready from day one. He noted that collaborations with leading technology companies will help bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry requirements. Sanjay Jain said Google aims to support both students and faculty through practical skill development and employment-oriented training. He added that the programme will introduce learning models aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP) and State Education Policy (SEP), enabling participants to use AI more effectively and prepare for future workplace demands. Alongside Google, VTU also announced partnerships with Qualcomm, Bharat Skills Institute Foundation and Simulation Enabled Experiential Learning (SEEL) to further strengthen technical education. Qualcomm, through its subsidiary Stem Lore Innovators LLP, will offer long-term training in AI, embedded systems, product prototyping and the Internet of Things (IoT), while also establishing a Centre of Excellence in Edge AI. The Bharat Skills Institute Foundation plans to develop a Centre of Excellence in phases with an investment of ₹20 crore, focusing on skill-based education and workforce development. Meanwhile, SEEL will introduce a cloud-based digital learning platform that enables students to perform laboratory exercises remotely. The platform will provide access to scientific and technical software, GATE preparation resources, previous years’ question papers, mock tests, AI-powered interview practice, more than 1,900 industry projects and internship opportunities, along with webinars, workshops and expert-led sessions for engineering and MBA students.

Govt Makes 150 Hours of On-the-Job Training Mandatory for ITI Trainees Under Craftsmen Training Scheme

/ Education Community

The Centre has made it compulsory for Industrial Training Institute (ITI) students enrolled under the Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) to complete 150 hours of structured on-the-job training (OJT) or a group project, as per fresh guidelines issued by the Directorate General of Training (DGT). The DGT operates under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship. Until now, ITI trainees primarily received practical instruction within campus workshops, working with tools and machinery available at their institutes. While this approach ensured foundational skills, it often limited exposure to modern industrial technologies and real-time workplace practices. Consequently, many trainees required additional hands-on training after entering the job market. To bridge this gap and align vocational education with industry demands, the DGT has restructured CTS qualifications in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. As part of the reforms, the annual training duration has been reduced from 1,600 hours to 1,200 hours. Additionally, a mandatory 150-hour OJT or group project component has been introduced to ensure practical industry exposure. Union Minister for Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Jayant Chaudhary termed the move a significant reform aimed at strengthening vocational education. He emphasised that classroom instruction alone is insufficient in a rapidly evolving industrial environment, and that real workplace experience is essential to build competence, confidence and professionalism among trainees. The initiative is also expected to deepen collaboration between industries and ITIs. Under the new guidelines, trainees will be eligible for OJT or project work only after completing at least three months of institutional training. The industry training will be conducted under the supervision of mentors, with regular performance assessments. The OJT component will also be integrated into a future data-driven grading framework. For students enrolled under the Dual System of Training (DST) mode, mandatory project work will replace OJT, as they already receive industry exposure during their course. Launched in 1950, the Craftsmen Training Scheme remains a key pillar of India’s vocational training ecosystem. The newly introduced OJT mandate aims to enhance employability, align skills with industry standards, and ensure smoother workforce integration for ITI graduates. Source: PTI

Budget 2026 Pivots to Employability-Centric Growth Strategy

/ Human Resource Community

The Union Budget 2026 marks a clear shift in India’s employment approach—moving away from headline job-creation numbers to building long-term, sustainable employment conditions. The new strategy places skilling, services-led growth and sector-specific ecosystems at the centre of workforce expansion. Instead of announcing how many jobs will be generated, the government has focused on aligning education, skills and industry demand. A key proposal is the formation of a high-powered standing committee on education, employment and enterprise. This body will map skill gaps, identify high-employment service sub-sectors and evaluate how artificial intelligence is reshaping future jobs—acknowledging that traditional degrees alone no longer guarantee employability. Services and Healthcare Take Centre Stage The services sector has been positioned as the primary engine of employment, with an ambitious goal of capturing a 10% share of global services exports by 2047. Officials highlighted that services create more jobs per unit of output than manufacturing, making them critical for absorbing India’s growing workforce. Healthcare forms a major pillar of this push. The Budget proposes adding 1 lakh allied health professionals across 10 disciplines over the next five years, along with training 1.5 lakh caregivers in the coming year under geriatric and allied care programmes aligned with the National Skills Qualifications Framework. Medical value tourism hubs, Ayush institutions and expanded health infrastructure are expected to generate further downstream employment, including overseas opportunities enabled by improved labour mobility clauses in free trade agreements. Creative Economy, Tourism and Sports as Job Multipliers For the first time, the Budget formally recognises the “Orange Economy”—covering animation, visual effects, gaming and comics—as a major employment frontier. With the sector projected to need around two million professionals by 2030, the government plans to establish content creator labs in 15,000 secondary schools and 500 colleges, signalling a decisive tilt towards creative and export-oriented jobs. Tourism has been reimagined as a job multiplier, with proposals for a national institute of hospitality, training 10,000 tourist guides across 20 iconic destinations, and expanding eco-tourism, trekking, birding and heritage circuits. The aim is to generate non-migrant employment in smaller towns and rural regions. Sports is also being repositioned as a structured employment ecosystem under an expanded Khelo India Mission, encompassing not just athletes but also coaches, sports scientists, support staff and infrastructure-related roles. Education: From Schemes to Structures With an education outlay of nearly ₹1.4 lakh crore, the Budget signals a move from fragmented schemes to durable institutional structures, with a strong focus on women’s access and campus capacity. The education ministry allocation has risen 8.3% to ₹1,39,290 crore for 2026–27. School education and literacy receive ₹83,561 crore (up 6.4%), while higher education sees an 11.3% increase to ₹55,724 crore to support infrastructure expansion and research. A flagship higher-education initiative is the creation of five university townships near major industrial and logistics corridors, designed to cluster universities, colleges and research institutions close to emerging economic hubs. To boost women’s participation in STEM, the government has promised capital support for setting up at least one girls’ hostel in every district with higher-education STEM institutions. The Budget also proposes a new National Institute of Design (NID) in eastern India and expands digital learning infrastructure. Support has been announced for the Indian Institute of Creative Technologies, Mumbai, to establish AVGC content creator labs, while the Bharatiya Bhasha Pustak initiative will roll out digitised textbooks in Indian languages for primary and secondary students. On institutional funding, allocations for IITs increase to ₹12,123 crore and IIMs to ₹292 crore, while some other premier institutions, including IISc and IIITs, face relatively tighter budgets. Budget 2026 underscores a strategic reorientation—from counting jobs to creating the ecosystems that make employment sustainable, future-ready and globally competitive. Source: TOI

Govt to Introduce Skill-Based Learning in Class 11 & 12 Under NEP 2020: Pradhan

/ Education Community
ardorcomm news

The government is preparing to integrate skill-based learning into the curriculum of Classes 11 and 12 in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan announced on Sunday. Speaking at the Dakshinapatha Summit 2025 hosted by IIT Madras, Pradhan emphasized the need for a major shift in teaching approaches to match the demands of the modern workforce. He noted that the earlier system focused heavily on degrees and certificates, while the new approach aims to build real-world competencies in students. “We are working to bring in skill-based subjects for Class 11 and 12 students. While qualifications are important, it is equally necessary to ensure that students are job-ready and capable,” the minister said. Pradhan also shared that his ministry is working to embed skill-based education from Class 6 onwards, making it a structured and compulsory part of schooling rather than an optional add-on. He reiterated that skill development forms a core pillar of NEP 2020, which envisions preparing learners for both higher studies and employability. Source: PTI

Ravi Shankar, IAS, Secretary – Skill Development & Employment Department, Government of Uttarakhand shares valuable insights at ArdorComm Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2025 in Dehradun

/ Interviews

We’re honored to have with us today Mr. C. Ravi Shankar, IAS, Secretary, Skill Development & Employment Department, Government of Uttarakhand. Thank you for joining us. How do you feel about today’s event? Thank you for inviting me. This is a very good platform to discuss diverse and meaningful ideas. I’m glad to be part of this gathering. This event brings together stakeholders across the education spectrum – from KG to PG, along with representation from skilling institutions, corporates, EdTechs, and government bodies. How do you see such convergence benefitting society? It’s the need of the hour. Academia, industry, and all institutional stakeholders must collaborate to tap our demographic dividend, which is expected to peak by 2041. If we miss this window, what is now an opportunity could turn into a crisis. Ensuring our youth are employable through lifelong skilling is essential, and such platforms help align collective efforts. You emphasize lifelong skilling. How should we begin embedding this mindset right from school to higher education? Skilling must be holistic—not trend-based or superficial. We need to focus on fundamentals that remain unaffected by technological disruptions, such as leadership, collaboration, analytical reasoning, emotional intelligence, ethics, and empathy. These should be taught right from the anganwadi or preschool level. Simultaneously, we must introduce students to emerging technologies. In higher education and short-term programs, only skills that meet current industrial demands should be prioritized. The National Education Policy’s emphasis on practical learning, like the dual system of training (DST), is a step in the right direction. Could you elaborate on some of the key skilling initiatives taken by the Uttarakhand Skill Development Department? Certainly. One of our flagship initiatives is the Dual System of Training (DST). We have 87 ITIs in Uttarakhand, and over 30 of them have already implemented DST. The model is simple: 50% classroom training and 50% industry exposure. In a two-year course, one year is spent in the classroom and the next in real-world industry settings—directly addressing employability. We’ve also established eight Centers of Excellence in collaboration with industry partners, equipped with industry-grade tools and machines. These function as finishing schools, helping students bridge employability gaps post-education. Moreover, we’ve introduced foreign language training in select government nursing colleges to enhance global employability.  These are a few initiatives that we can tell about right now there are a lot more in the pipeline and the higher education department, technical education department, everyone is contributing to this holistic objective. So, this is how we perceive that demographic dividend can be fully tapped. ArdorComm Media has just completed its fourth anniversary. Any thoughts or message for the team? First of all, full of gratitude! What you’ve achieved in just four years—bringing together stakeholders, driving dialogue, and aligning policy perspectives—is commendable. These sessions don’t just unite minds; they align efforts. We often need to pause and assess whether we’re on the right path—and platforms like yours help us do exactly that. I hope this summit results in actionable recommendations that influence policy and practice. Wishing ArdorComm Media continued success and many more impactful initiatives ahead.

Dr. D. B. Singh, Vice Chancellor, Haridwar University, Roorkee emphasizes on true collaboration, at ArdorComm Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2025 in Dehradun

/ Interviews
Dr. D. B. Singh

Welcome, Professor Dr. Dharam Bir Singh. We’re honoured to have you with us. Could you tell us a bit about Haridwar University? Thank you so much. Haridwar University started in 2023, so we’re still quite a young institution. Being a new university comes with both opportunities and challenges. But we see great potential—sky is the limit. We currently offer programmes under five faculties: Engineering, Business Studies, Pharmacy, Nursing, and Agriculture. That’s a wide range—from medical sciences to management. How important do you think skilling is, and do you see a gap between skilling and employability? Yes, definitely. There is a gap. Students often have strong theoretical knowledge but lack hands-on skills and practical exposure. Bridging this gap is essential. We are already working with partners who specialise in providing enough skill training to our students. How has Haridwar University been implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020?   We’ve taken major steps this year. Earlier, we were affiliated with Uttarakhand Technical University, but now we have the autonomy to revise our curriculum. We’ve redesigned our syllabi in line with NEP 2020 and have included all the required components to meet the policy guidelines. Today’s event features stakeholders from schools to higher education, EdTech, skill development, and even government officials—truly a KG to PG representation. How do you think such forums benefit the academic community and society? This is a fine example of true collaboration. All stakeholders—schools, universities, corporates, and the government—must come together to work toward the common goal of student development. After all, today’s students are tomorrow’s citizens and leaders. Collective action is the only way forward. What has been your takeaway from the event so far? It’s been a wonderful experience. I attended a session with school principals and directors discussing real challenges in the education space. The conversations were insightful and solution-driven. I also visited several exhibition stalls, where I learned about various services being offered. Overall, a truly enriching day so far. We recently celebrated our fourth anniversary as a media startup. Would you like to share a message for ArdorComm Media Group? As they say, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step—and you have already taken four big ones. You’re calling yourself a small startup, but I see it from a different lens. I believe you are on a path to achieving much more than you’ve imagined. My best wishes to the entire team.
