The Need for Online Education

APEX believes that Knowledge is pervasive and should be made available to everyone. That is why we have brought the power of ONLINE CAMPUS to deliver the knowledge @ your desktop which is the driving force behind the ONLINE CAMPUS.

Hardly 30% of the school children who pass out are able to get into professional colleges due to lack of training resources available to prepare themselves for the competitive examinations. Hardly 25% of the students, who pass out of the colleges, are employable or industry-ready and ONLINE CAMPUS aims to fill up the gap by providing the requisite knowledge through our network.

Being one of the biggest education systems in the world, India is producing 3.5 million graduates every year. The number is not a major concern; rather, how many of them are employed, is a major concern. As per the survey of National Association for Software Services Companies (NASSCOM), only 30 to 31 percent of the engineering graduates are employable in the industry. Now the question we have in front of us is what happens to the remaining graduates.

In India, despite having such a large number of graduates passing out of colleges each year, we are not able to fill the vacancies in the industry. This is mainly because soft-skill training among graduates is comparatively less in India. There is a huge gap between industry needs and academic training.

Various studies including NASSCOM-McKinsey Study 2005 throws up some interesting insights to validate India’s positive human-power status.

• The number of IT-BPO professionals employed in India grew from less than 200,000 people in 1998 to over 1.6 million in 2007
• India currently has around 347 institutes of higher education and 16,885 colleges with a total enrollment of over 9.9 million. These produce around 495,000 technical graduates, nearly 2.3 million other graduates and over 300,000 post-graduates every year
• India’s emergence as a preferred outsourcing destination has created the need for about 3.5 million professionals by 2011. Based on current estimates, a shortage of skilled knowledge workers may arise if remedial action is not taken.

While conventional training centres can bridge the gap between expected and existing knowledge among graduates, Professional Courses through online education make the students Industry Ready.

ONLINE CAMPUS fits in the requirement and provides various Degree and Diploma program in Science, Humanities, Commerce, Engineering, Paramedical, Hospitality & Aviation, Hotel Management and Management disciplines and make them employable or Job Ready.
