In today’s episode, we sit down with Arpit Agrawal, Vice Chairperson at JECRC, to talk about skills vs degree, college ROI, and how career decisions are actually made today.
We discuss whether a ₹10 lakh degree is really worth it, how salaries vary from ₹3 lakh to ₹50 lakh, and why the ROI of education is not as simple as it seems. Arpit explains why skills alone don’t guarantee jobs, how college builds confidence and exposure, and why some careers still require formal education.
The conversation also covers IITs, average salaries, industry expectations, and why companies still prefer degrees in many roles. He shares insights on networking, working abroad, and why the gap between institutions is slowly reducing.
