college students courses mismatch the industry requirements?

I do not call mismatch, unless one studies mechanical and chooses a career in civil engineering. The gap between the practice and precept is in existence for over 50 years. Education in schools and colleges only give introduction to the subject. Very few technological institutes teach uptodate technology to the students, otherwise it is all stale. It is therefore one should undergo practical training in trade by joining as apprentice to acquire practical skill.
