A college degree in India may be worth less than a JCB licence. That is the blunt verdict from Saurabh Mukherjea, Founder and CIO of Marcellus Investment Managers, who in a podcast, argued that students who stop studying after Class 12 are often better off financially than those who go on to graduate. He is not the only one making statement about degree problem in India. Recently, India's Chief Economic Adviser, V Anantha Nageswaran, also made a strikingly similar point on a separate platform, telling young Indians to look past degrees and competitive exams and pick up trade skills instead.
