Response
In an earlier correspondence, I had mentioned why a Ph D may not be enough for ensuring employability to young Indian researchers. The concern over the employability of Ph Ds has increased in recent times largely because of the huge increase in their number and preference of lesser degree holders over Ph Ds in industries. Of course, there are reports on the need for about 1200 science and technology (S&T) Ph Ds per year. However, such predictions are based on the fact that about 1500 new universities will be opened by the year 2015, which has been far from reality.
