Summary:

The "India Skills Report 2025" estimates that 55% of Indian graduates will be internationally employable by 2025, up from 51.2% in 2024. The survey, prepared by CII, Wheebox, and AICTE, shows that management graduates have the highest employment rate (78%), followed by engineering (71.5%), MCA (71%), and science graduates (58%). States like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Delhi, as well as cities like Pune, Bengaluru, and Mumbai, are emerging as significant talent hotspots.

However, women's employment rates are anticipated to fall from 50.9% to 47.5%. An examination of 650,000 applicants found that 93% are interested in internships. Mr. Nirmal Singh emphasized the need for quality skill training and recognized programs to enhance international mobility, citing a 9.8% hiring intent projection for FY 2026.
