THE PROBLEM GRADUATES ARE FACING IN INDIA
Shortly before graduation and want to land a job right away? Here is news for you that’s not so rosy incase your English Skills are not up to speed.
According to the Central Placement Cell (CPC), which was initially set up by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) to organize job placements for engineering graduates, now extends its services to all categories of graduates. The CPC has found that nearly 30% of all graduates registering are rejected in the job market.
The reason: POOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE SKILLS!!!
I did a piece in my Blog earlier this year about how much more money you can bring home monthly if you speak a proper, flawless English: Have a look, you might find it very interesting!
The reason that most employers proffer for rejecting a candidate is lack of ‘soft skills’ or ‘communication skills’. However, even many employers will admit that what they seek in applicants is command over the English language. Employers also seek basic computer knowledge, and assess candidates on the basis of etiquette and behavior.
Raghavendra, head of operations at the CPC, says, “Most graduates, even those who have studied engineering, often lack soft skills. Just doing a BE degree will not help to get a job.”
Since the CPC was initially set up to cater to engineering candidates, it was located within the premises of the KEA. It continues to operate from the KEA.
The government has since instructed the CPC to conduct placement procedures for all categories of candidates. “In the last six months, we have conducted three job fairs, two in Bangalore and one in Mysore
Candidates register with the CPC, and firms have a tie-up with it. More than 28,000 candidates are currently registered with CPC. At least 13 major firms have also tied up with it. A majority of the candidates registering are engineering, medical and management students.
