Insights Reports · September 2026

What two campuses learned about AI and jobs

Two panels on AI and Employability, at Dwarkadas J. Sanghvi College of Engineering in Mumbai and Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, with voices from Google, HDFC Life, IIT Delhi, JNU, Uno Minda, the Electronics Sector Skills Council and The Times of India. Each has become a free insights report: the findings, the panellists’ own examples, and an agenda for action for students, educators, employers and policymakers.

Beyond the Fear

How AI is reshaping work, skills and assessment, and what students, educators and employers must do next.

  • Tasks change, roles remain: what AI absorbs and what people still own
  • Fundamentals are the moat: why using an AI tool is not, by itself, a skill
  • Rethinking assessment: how DJSCE grades AI-assisted work, and how industry does
  • AI beyond software: civil, health, law and governance

AI and Employability

Opportunities, challenges and the future of work: perspectives from industry, academia and the skilling ecosystem.

  • The readiness gap: qualified, but not yet job-ready
  • Consumer or creator: where India sits in the AI value chain
  • Sector readiness and the six-step skilling value chain
  • Where a learner should start: three routes into AI
