Abstract

In today's digital landscape, multinational corporations play a central role in shaping contemporary software development, which has emerged as a pivotal sector in the global economy. Traditionally dominated by European and American firms, the software development industry has witnessed India's rapid ascent, fuelled by the information technology revolution. However, despite the growing demand for skilled software professionals, there exists a significant disparity between the skill set acquired by graduates of Software Engineering Education (SEE) programmes in India and the requirements of the industry. This paper sheds light on the current state of undergraduate software engineering education in Indian universities and the critical issues contributing to the widening skill gap. Addressing these challenges is imperative to bridge the divide and ensure the alignment of SEE with the evolving needs of the software industry.
