Disruption Is Happening Faster Than Ever Before As Technology Age Takes Over
Conventional universities who have not changed to the fast changing conceptual world are closing down all over the world at a faster rate. The system of mass making of Engineers and MBAs has already resulted in closure of hundreds of institutes in India. Existing institutes are struggling to get the new admissions which is on a constant decline over the past few years as conventional qualification is failing to create new employment opportunities. Unemployment is on the rise and only 36% MBAs are employable. More than 50% of the engineers are unemployed according to latest figures. The status-quo will result into faster disruption. Forewarned is forearmed. CHANGE FAST or PERISH.
