• 39 per cent jobs are for 10th pass and 37 per cent are for 12th pass – clearly indicating that employers
increasingly seek basic educational qualification even for blue collar jobs. For instance, while good
driving skills along with a valid license is a mandate to become a driver in any of the cab services, being a
10th or 12th pass give drivers a sharper edge over others since they can communicate better to the
customers.
• As per the job seekers, about 49 per cent were 12th pass, followed by 23 per cent 10th pass and there has
been a fall in the job seekers among graduate and PG & above degree holders.
• Data clearly indicates that there is a huge demand-supply gap as far as 10th pass and diploma degree
holders are concerned.
