A new report, India’s Graduate Skill Index 2025, was released by Mercer-Mettl.
Only 42.6 per cent of Indian graduates are employable.
This is marking a decline from 44.3 per cent in 2023.
The biggest challenge is a widening gap between what employer’s need and the skills graduates have.
Graduates from Tier-I colleges have the highest employability at 48.4 per cent, followed by Tier-II (46.1 per cent) and Tier-III (43.4 per cent) institutions.
Among the states, Delhi (53.4 per cent), Himachal Pradesh (51.1 per cent), and Punjab (51.1 per cent) produce the most employable graduates.
46 per cent of Indian graduates are now employable in AI & ML roles, marking a significant increase since 2023.
