There is widespread belief that the employability of graduates produced in India is low. The limitations become more visible when students take up jobs with multinationals or go to other countries. Most colleges are not yet serious about it as their focus remains on first year's results or vaguely on placements.Employability skills generally refer to the students being able to communicate with others, being able to use modern computer tools and having sound ideas of professional ethics etc.

The fact is that employability skills that should have come naturally to students have become tasks to be learned. This is primarily due to the emphasis of professional education through small affiliated institutions which are not in a position to provide wider exposure. Although these institutions give emphasis on labs, projects, seminars, tours and cultural activities etc. but apparently it is not enough. That is where the roles of universities and to some extent the roles of the newly thought of Technical Campuses come in.

To reduce the cost of education, and to provide a better environment, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) introduced the new scheme of Technical Campus in the year 2009-10.

A Technical Campus is created, out of a set of professional institutions of an organization, by breaking the walls between them and integrating them into a university like common administrative and academic setup. This intermixing across the disciplines helps in evolving a vigorous and vibrant atmosphere conducive to enquiry, learning and the development of ideas, informed outlook and versatile personality of the students.

These processes may be furthered by running more inter-disciplinary programs, providing common places for all students' activities and digitalizing the teaching/learning processes etc. It may thus acquire many features of a Deemed University. The next step may be to convert it into a full university. In fact, Azad is actively working towards transforming its Technical Campus into full-fledged State University to be known as AZAD UNIVERSITY., Through the University, it may be able to provide more relevant education to the region with emphasis on entrepreneurship, social inclusion, and digital learning.
