Global IT industry has large dependency on recruiting engineering graduates to fulfil their staffing needs, with growing IT industry, requirement of fresh engineering graduate talent is increasing day by day. While industry has increased demand but still the employability of engineering graduates is a major concern globally. IT Industry skill expectations from engineering graduates has not changed significantly but industry is finding it difficult to get right talent. Industry must spend substantial time and energy while onboarding engineering graduates before they are deployed on the projects. To overcome the challenge industry and academic needs to come together and work on the structured approach to help academic institutes and students to understand Industry expectations while recruiting. The roles and job expectations offered by IT industry differs by the services they offer. Students at early stage of their engineering education should decide on his or her career preferences and start working towards it. Students needs to assess where they stand as against what industry needs and bridge the gaps before getting ready for the recruitment process. Academic institutes play key role in mentoring students throughout the process to make sure students are employable. The overall process will result in better employability and reduced time and efforts for the recruitment process. A tool developed as part of the study “Engineering Graduate Employability http://www.ege.org.in/” will help to structure the process and help in improved employability
