Campus to Career in the Age of AI and Automation

Campus to Career

India produces over 10 million graduates every year. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 estimates that by 2030, automation will displace 92 million jobs globally while creating 170 million new ones. The question every university must answer, and what the Campus to Career Summit 2026 is built to address is whether today’s students are being prepared for what comes next, or what already exists.

NASSCOM estimates that 69% of Indian jobs face automation risk over the next two decades. The immediate impact is already visible in the tech sector, India’s IT and services headcount, which stood at 7.5–8 million in 2023, could fall to 6 million by 2031. More strikingly, a recent report found that fewer than 25% of graduating students at top engineering institutions secured job offers before course completion in 2026. This is not a future problem. It is a present one.

Employability among Indian graduates has declined from 44.3% in 2023 to 42.6% in 2025, according to the Mercer-Mettl India Graduate Skill Index. The data also reveals a sharp institutional divide: graduates from Tier-I colleges show 48.4% employability, Tier-II at 46.1%, and Tier-III at just 43.4%. The gap between elite institutions and the rest is widening precisely as automation compresses the time available to bridge it.

A significant reason is faculty readiness. Only 14% of faculty in India’s public universities have received any form of AI training, according to recent research. Institutions cannot teach what their educators have not learned.

What Academia Must Rethink

Three things need to change urgently.

First, the curriculum must shift from teaching tools to teaching adaptability. Specific software and platforms become obsolete. The ability to learn, unlearn, and relearn does not.

Second, industry integration cannot be limited to final-year internships. Automation is reshaping roles mid-career. Students need exposure to real-world automation challenges from Year 1, not Year 4.

Third, universities in Tier-2 and Tier-3 locations need the same infrastructure access as metropolitan institutions. The employability gap between tiers is not a talent gap — it is an exposure gap.

Campus to Career Summit 2026

These are not distant concerns. They are decisions universities need to make now before another batch of students graduates without the skills the workforce is already demanding.

The Campus to Career Summit 2026, organised by the Department of Higher Education, Government of Karnataka, brings exactly that room to life on 15–16 May 2026 at The LaLiT Ashok, Bengaluru.

The institutions that act now will not just survive automation. They will shape what comes after it.

ICT Labs

In a major push to strengthen digital learning, the Delhi government has announced the upgradation of 376 existing ICT labs and the establishment of 31 new digital labs in government schools during the 2025–26 academic year.

The initiative, approved under the Ministry of Education’s Samagra Shiksha programme, aims to enhance technology-driven education and improve access to modern learning tools for students.

Expanding Digital Infrastructure

Out of the 31 new labs, 24 will be ICT labs set up in schools with enrolment exceeding 700 students at the secondary and senior secondary levels. In addition, seven schools will receive advanced digital hardware and software facilities, further strengthening the digital ecosystem.

The move is part of the Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB) 2025–26, approved by the Project Approval Board (PAB).

Enhancing Learning Outcomes

Officials highlighted that ICT labs play a key role in improving digital literacy, subject understanding, and access to global educational resources. These labs also help students develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills—essential for future careers.

Teachers are expected to benefit as well, with better digital tools improving classroom delivery and administrative efficiency.

Focus on Inclusion and Accessibility

The initiative is designed to ensure that students across all districts have access to modern technology. District-wise allocation shows a higher number of new labs in areas like North East II, ensuring balanced development.

Additional Budget Support

Alongside this initiative, the Delhi government has also allocated ₹50 crore in the 2025–26 budget to set up 175 new computer labs in line with CBSE norms, indicating a broader commitment to digital education.

With these upgrades and new facilities, Delhi is taking a significant step towards making government schools more technology-enabled, inclusive, and aligned with the demands of modern education.

Campus to Career Summit 2026: Building India’s AI-Ready Workforce

Campus to career

India accounts for 16% of the world’s AI workforce. Yet 82% of Indian employers reported difficulty filling AI-related roles in 2026, the highest ever recorded, according to the India Skills Report 2026. Demand for nearly one million AI professionals is projected by 2026, with supply covering barely half that number. Bridging this gap is precisely why platforms like the Campus to Career Summit 2026 have never been more critical for India’s higher education ecosystem.

The gap isn’t a pipeline problem. It is a curriculum problem. And it sits squarely inside India’s universities.

The Numbers Are Too Large to Ignore

The Mercer-Mettl India Graduate Skill Index 2025 found that only 42.6% of Indian graduates are industry-ready. The NIIT India Skills Gap Report 2026 identifies AI Model and Application Development and AI Literacy as the two hardest skills for employers to find today. A degree without AI fluency in 2026 is the equivalent of entering the workforce without basic computer literacy in 2005.

Karnataka Is Already Acting

Karnataka has announced one of India’s most comprehensive state-level AI education frameworks. Under its IT Policy 2025–2030, the state has allocated ₹10 crore to establish AI Data Labs in 50 government engineering colleges across Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities. A Centre of Excellence for AI is being set up at IIIT Raichur with ₹5 crore. AI-powered digital tutors are being deployed in collaboration with IIT Dharwad, reaching 12.28 lakh students from Classes 8 to 12.

Karnataka has also launched India’s first AI-Powered Skills Intelligence Unit, integrating university, college, and government data through APIs to identify sectoral gaps and workforce needs in real time. Every district will have a dedicated Skill Group building localised employment plans.

The infrastructure is being assembled. The question is whether universities will adapt fast enough to use it.

What Must Change Inside the Classroom

AI cannot be taught as a standalone elective. It must be embedded across engineering, medicine, law, and business because it is reshaping all of them. Universities must also move from fixed curriculums to continuous exposure, given that the half-life of a specific AI skill is now under 18 months. Career development must become a strategic function, not a final-semester activity.

Campus to Career Summit 2026

Closing this gap requires the government, universities, and industry to work from the same plan. That alignment is the mandate of the Campus to Career Summit 2026 organised by the Department of Higher Education, Government of Karnataka. Bringing together university leaders, policymakers, and technology innovators on 15–16 May 2026 at The LaLiT Ashok, Bengaluru, the summit addresses one question: what does a future-ready university actually look like and how do we build it at scale?

The institutions that answer this question today will define Indian higher education for the next decade.

EdTech

Edtech companies are increasingly leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform learning models, moving away from traditional one-size-fits-all approaches toward more personalised and adaptive education experiences.

With the rapid integration of AI into their platforms, companies such as Physics Wallah and Coursera are reshaping how students engage with content. These platforms are deploying AI-driven tools that adapt learning materials based on individual student performance, helping identify strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning styles.

AI-powered systems are enabling features like customised video content, adaptive assessments, and real-time feedback. For instance, AI tutors can now analyse millions of queries, recommend targeted solutions, and even generate practice questions tailored to a learner’s progress. This approach not only enhances comprehension but also ensures that students receive support aligned with their unique needs.

The shift is particularly significant in a diverse market like India, where learners come from varied educational and linguistic backgrounds. AI helps bridge these gaps by offering regional language support and personalised pacing, making quality education more accessible and inclusive.

However, industry experts note that AI is not replacing traditional teaching but complementing it. Educators continue to play a critical role in guiding students, while AI handles scalability and efficiency. The combination of human expertise and machine intelligence is creating a more balanced and effective learning ecosystem.

NEP Training Mandatory
In preparation for the rollout of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the Maharashtra government has made it mandatory for college principals, directors, and faculty members to undergo structured training starting May.
The announcement was made by Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil during a departmental discussion, highlighting the state’s focus on ensuring a smooth and uniform transition to the new academic framework.
To support this initiative, the Maharashtra State Faculty Development Academy (MSFDA) is developing an online Learning Management System (LMS)-based course. The training is expected to begin in mid-May and will be conducted in phases through May and June, covering both aided and unaided colleges.
Officials said the training will be self-paced but compulsory, ensuring that educators and administrators fully understand the structural and academic changes introduced under NEP 2020. The move is aimed at avoiding implementation challenges and ensuring consistency across institutions.
The training comes ahead of the introduction of four-year undergraduate programmes from the 2026–27 academic session. These programmes will include options such as honours and honours with research, offering greater flexibility to students.
Key features of the new system include a credit-based structure, multiple entry and exit options, and the Academic Bank of Credits, allowing students to store and transfer their academic credits.
Minister Patil emphasised that the success of NEP implementation depends largely on how well teachers and administrators are prepared. The training programme, he said, is designed to equip them with the necessary clarity and skills to adopt the new system effectively.
With this step, Maharashtra is taking a proactive approach to educational reform—ensuring that institutions, faculty, and students are all aligned with the evolving vision of higher education in India.
