What happens when society’s expectations turn your engineering degree into a cage? Unemployable Engineer is a groundbreaking exploration of the systemic and psychological barriers trapping India’s engineering graduates in a cycle of underemployment. Combining raw personal narrative with actionable strategies, Amit Deshpande dismantles the “psychological chakravyuha”—a labyrinth of societal pressures, parental expectations, and institutional failures—that stifles students’ true potential.
Perfect for engineering students, recent graduates, and professionals navigating career uncertainty, this book offers more than critique: it provides a step-by-step blueprint to reclaim agency. Through chapters like Marks vs Knowledge and Framework of Acceptance, Deshpande challenges the myth that academic scores define capability. He argues that the obsession with rankings and rote learning crushes creativity, leaving graduates unprepared for real-world challenges.

- How the “unemployable” label stems from systemic flaws, not individual failure.
- Why soft skills like communication and adaptability outweigh technical prowess in today’s job market.
- A proven method to transition from passive learner to proactive problem-solver.
