Skill Gap Analysis In Indian Higher Education System

Abstract

A skill gap analysis is a method that may be used to assess what gaps exist in the system and the skills that are necessary for a developing country to achieve its objectives. According to the study, the current educational system concentrates more on rote learning of subjects, which leads to low educational quality, rather than preparing students for professional work environments and application-oriented learning. Freshers are to be passed through a foundation on training programmed by workers for a few months before they start on the job to fill this requirement gap. The existing Indian education system has to become more application oriented in order to provide long-term sustainable results. Employers, schools, governments, training groups, and others all around the globe have realised the essential necessity of closing the skills gap. The primary essential features for teaching and learning in many disciplines, such as general, academic, vocational, and technical, should include a variety of techniques, which are entirely dependent on the learning environment, learners' teaching methods, and numerous supporting elements. Higher education (both professional and technical) should be permitted to expand access and completion, as well as develop with job prospects, in order to boost the country's economy and close the skills gap. These techniques are influenced by the subject matter to be taught as well as the type of learners' reciprocity and cooperation development. By making certain conclusions addressing an issue, the researcher hopes to discover a solution in studying the function of higher education in bridging the skill gap.
