Techniques to Improve Communication Skills of Students for Placements.

      Аннотация: Students of Engineering colleges require an ever-increasing range of skills to maintain relevance with the global environment of the new millennium. Communication skills are a vital component of this, recognized by academia and industry alike. Indeed, communication skills are considered a salient element in the make-up of the new global engineer. Since professional and result oriented companies always seek for the employees who can communicate persuasively and effectively. Communication skills were cited as the single most important decisive factor in choosing managers. A lack of sufficient communication skills serves only to be disqualified in the placement interviews. Thus, after a brief look at the profile of the students of engineering, there is felt a need for the study of the appropriate new techniques for improving their communication skills for acquiring better placements. The aim of the present study is to suggest a few communicative techniques that would help the students of engineering master the entire range of skills required for a successful profession. The study is based on the assumption that the students of engineering lack the required skills for getting jobs.
