As  reported  by  Department  of  Personnel  and  Training,  the  number  of  candidates recruited  by  UPSC  and  SSC  during  last  five  years  and  in  current  year,  are  28,838  and 2,26,845 respectively.

HEIs will focus on research and innovation by setting up start-up incubation centres, technology development centres and greater industryacademic  linkages.  Further,  school  and  higher  education  system  shall  have  exposure  to vocational education. It is envisaged in the Policy that vocational education will be integrated in the education offerings of all secondary school in a phased manner over the next decade. Towards this, secondary schools will also collaborate with ITIs, polytechnics, local industry, etc.

Further,  All  India  Council  for  Technical  Education  (AICTE)  has  revamped  the existing curriculum and launched outcome based model curriculum for Diploma, Undergraduate and Post Graduate Courses in Engineering and PGDM/MBA Courses. With a view to align Indian technical education with global standards and ensure hands-on exposure to its students , AICTE has come up with new internship policy that mandates internship as a part of curriculum for technical institutions across India.
