- Outdated learning – learning basics is one thing, but learning ancient programming languages, for example, FORTRAN, and not staying in touch with the industry could be one reason why engineering students are not relevant to today’s industry.
- Theory vs Practice – The current education system poses a chasm between theory and practice. Very little of what is learnt at college can be put into practice in everyday life. Hence, the best performers of the system, which are the kids with the best grades, actually can do very little work and need to be separately trained for it. That’s an expense that not everyone in the industry wants to take.
- Exam culture – Learning is a continual process, and exams are a way to measure the extent of your learning. It is not the end all. Unfortunately, the CGPA or grade of a graduate is the first filter for employment, and hence students lay emphasis on only the exam and not on learning the subject. This results in weak fundamentals, and hence, industry irrelevance.
- Lack of exposure – Given that the end goal of technical education is a placement in a college, the amount of exposure given to students about the industry is also very little. It is not until the final year of their college that they begin to understand what the industry really wants. An early exposure to industry can give students an idea of what is relevant in the industry, which they can learn in their own time.
- Bad career matching – Over the years, the lucrative opportunities that a professional life in the technology industry has provided, has made engineering sciences the de-facto choice for graduate studies. Weather or not the student has the aptitude for the stream is not taken into account, resulting in uninterested engineering candidates, who haven’t taken to their subjects as much as they should have, making them irrelevant to the industry.

Textile industry in India
History
Production
- Man Made Fibers: These includes manufacturing of clothes using fiber or filament synthetic yarns. It is produced in the large power loom factories. They account for the largest sector of the textile production in India.This sector has a share of 62% of the India's total production and provides employment to about 4.8 million people.
- The Cotton Sector: It is the second most developed sector in the Indian Textile industries. It provides employment to huge amount of people but its productions and employment is seasonal depending upon the seasonal nature of the production.
- The Handloom Sector: It is well developed and is mainly dependent on the SHGs for their funds. Its market share is 13%.[7] of the total cloth produced in India.
- The Woolen Sector: India is the 7th largest producer. of the wool in the world. India also produces 1.8% of the world's total wool.
- The Jute Sector: The jute or the golden fiber in India is mainly produced in the Eastern states of India like Assam and West Bengal. India is the largest producer of jute in the world.
- The Sericulture and Silk Sector: India is the 2nd largest producer of silk in the world. India produces 18% of the world's total silk. Mulberry, Eri, Tasar, and Muga are the main types of silk produced in the country. It is a labor-intensive sector.
Cotton textiles
In the early years, the cotton textile industry was concentrated in the cotton growing belt of Maharashtra and Gujarat. Availability of raw materials, market, transport, labour, moist climate and other factors which contributed to localisation. In the early twentieth century, this industry played a huge role in Bombay's economy but soon declined after Independance.[8] While spinning continues to be centralised in Maharashtra, Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, weaving is highly decentralised. As of 30 September 2013, there are 1962 cotton textile mills in the country[9] out of which about 80% are in the private sector and the rest in the public and cooperative sector. Apart from these, there are several thousand small factories with four to ten looms.India exports yarn to Japan,United States, United Kingdom, Russia, France, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka and other countries. India has the second largest installed capacity of spindles in the world, with 43.13 million spindles (30 March 2011)after China. Although India has a large share in world trade of cotton yarn, its trade in garments is only 4% of the world's total. This is due to the incompetency of local spinning and weaving mills to process yarn . There exist some large factories, but most of the production is fragmented in small units, which cater to the local market. This mismatch is a major drawback for the industry. As a result, many of the spinners export yarn while apparel/garment manufacturers have to import fabric. Power supply is erratic and machinery is outdated that needs to be upgraded. Other problems include low output of labour and stiff competition with the synthetic fibre industry.Jute textiles
India is the largest producer of raw jute and jute goods and the second largest exporter after Bangladesh. There were about 80 jute mills in India in 2010-11, most of which are located in West Bengal, mainly along the banks of the Hooghly River, in a narrow belt (98 km long and 3 km wide). factors responsible for their location in the Hooghly basin are: inexpensive water transport, good network of railways, roadways and waterways to facilitate movement of raw material to mills, abundant water supply, cheap labour from neighbouring states.In 2010-2011 the jute industry was supporting 0.37 million workers directly and another 400,000 small and marginal farmers who were engaged in the cultivation of jute.Challenges faced by the industry include stiff competition in the international market from synthetic substitutes and from other countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, Philippines, Egypt and Thailand. However, the internal demand has been on the rise due to Government policy of mandatory use of jute packaging. To stimulate demand, the products need to be diversified. In 2005, the National Jute Policy was formulated with the objective of improving quality, increasing productivity an enhancing the yield of the crop.Ministry of textiles and organizations
Government of India passed the National Textile Policy in 2000. The major functions of the ministry of textiles are formulating policy and coordination of man-made fiber, cotton, jute, silk, wool industries, decentralization of power loom sector, promotion of exports, planning & economic analysis, finance and promoting use of information technology. The advisory boards for the ministry include All India Handlooms Board, All India Handicrafts Board, All India Power looms Board, Advisory Committee under Handlooms Reservation of Articles for Production and Co-ordination Council of Textiles Research Association. There are several public sector units and textile research associations across the country.
Textile Engineering
Each country has its diverse culture and traditions. A country is unique because of its people, who have different ways of clothing and living. Varied styles of dressing by people have resulted in improving the scope of Textile Engineering. Fashion is an extensive domain, which is directly affecting the textile trade. Consequently, Textile Industry has become one of the booming industries, and the companies are engaged in catering to the needs of international & domestic markets.

- Textile Engineers need to be updated with the latest trends and innovations. Theywork with different man-made and natural textiles, leather, fur, plastics and metals. They develop textiles for different purposes such as furnishings, clothing, etc.
- They provide technical advices to designing, marketing, purchasing and production staff. They are responsible for creating products in compliance with the given specification.
- Textile Engineers are involved in textile harvesting, which includes production, processing (applying engineering principles and theories). They work with fibres, fabrics and other textile materials in order to improve current textile products and bring out new ones.
- A Textile Engineer has to learn the current trends & requirements of people, and work in compliance with that. He / she designs and controls different aspects of fiber, textile, apparel processes and machinery by dealing with the applications of engineering & scientific principles.
- They produce samples, amend designs, evaluate, identify and select fabrics from suppliers. They make sure that the final product meets set specifications in terms of colour fastness and durability.
