He recalled that Osmania and Kakatiya universities played a key role in shaping the careers of students in the past. However, the existing system was not matching the requirements of international standards that were introduced after opening up of the economy.
Over 1.1 lakh engineering students graduate every year and only 15% them were able to secure jobs. The role of the Government in education sector was on the decline as could be seen from the fact that 98% of the ₹21,000 crore budgetary allocation was being spent on salaries of the staff.
