# JNTUK VC urges engineers to become entrepreneurs 2026-08-22T19:07:00+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Engineering graduates should aim to become entrepreneurs rather than just job seekers, said JNTUK Vice-Chancellor Prof. C.S.R.K. Prasad at the third Graduation Day of KITS in Vinjanampadu near Guntur on Saturday. Speaking as chief guest, he advised graduates to continuously upgrade skills with changing technology to create new opportunities. Infosys AP Delivery Centre head Narra Suresh highlighted the need for technical knowledge, communication skills, and continuous learning in the corporate sector. College chairman Koyi Subba Rao presided. Degree certificates were awarded, and special prizes given to meritorious students. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The call for engineering graduates to shift from job-seeking to entrepreneurship has been a recurring theme in Andhra Pradesh, where high unemployment among engineers has prompted state-led skill initiatives. KITS is one of many private engineering colleges in the region that graduate thousands annually, but industry demand remains concentrated in a few tech hubs. The emphasis on upskilling reflects a broader challenge: a mismatch between academic curricula and fast-evolving industry needs. Watch for whether the state government announces any new entrepreneurship-linked incentives or incubation support for fresh graduates in the coming months. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Straight report of convocation speeches and event details, no editorial slant.
