India is one of the countries with maximum number of young population and engineering education has been one of the most popular and favourite domains of education among them. India is known to be one of the largest and most qualified pools of workforce. In the last few decades, corporate sectors have propagated engineering education as the need of the hour to hire new professionals for their business development. This made engineering students and institutes to understand and attain key requirements of the employers. The country has witnessed a huge growth in manufacturing and service sectors. This was also augmented with the Government's initiatives under National Skill Development Corporation. This paper attempts to study the loopholes that exist in the current engineering education to meet the corporate requirements. It also attempts to understand the employers' requirements and the set of skills engineering students possessed and review the opportunities to fill this wide gap between the two with the interference of engineering institutes. This will also try to scrutinize the perceptions of all stake holders involved in engineering education.
