In this era of Private Universities, where employers in Indian industries look for industry ready individuals. Only 47% of Indian graduates were employable in India in 2019 as per the ‘Aspiring Minds’ National Employability Report’ which is a national audit of employability of three-year Bachelor’s Degree graduates. There is a dismal number of educated youth holding degrees, but lack employability in India. Private Universities like the Royal Global University have taken up the initiative of ensuring that their institutes work closely with industries and students to solve skill based challenges being faced by the society.
Education World started publishing its annual Higher Education Rankings in 2013, according special importance to private institutions of higher learning. The organization believes that it would not be apt to do a comparison between private and government institutions because private institutions with huge investment and reputations at stake, are more likely to provide globally benchmarked academic, research and education.
