198 engineering seats were available for every 1 lakh people in India. Of all states, Tamil Nadu has the highest per capita seats with 705 for 1 Lakh Tamil Nadu citizens.
However, based on the Employability Test report by SHL, it seems that the states with the highest per capita seats also produce the most unemployable engineers (software engineers shown in this map)
According to the report by SHL, over 85% Software Engineers in Services and 97% Software Engineers in Product are unemployable in this country.
About 95% Indian graduates (and 98% Chinese graduates, 82% American graduates) don't have good coding skills.
Colleges in India do not teach conceptual and problem-solving skills. Rote learning is still a major issue. One of the main reasons for poor employability is that a majority of those entering engineering don't have basic numerical skills or aptitude.
CTO of SHL, Varun Aggarwal says "Delhi has less than 100 engineering colleges but they are quality institutions. In Tamil Nadu, the ratio of college seats per student is uneven. Having a very high number of colleges also may lead to a decline in quality,“
Employability across domains and cities in India: Notice that Delhi produces the highest percentage of employable graduates while Chennai produces the most unemployable graduates across domains.
