Securing a seat in a good Engineering college is an uphill task. Once a student has put his foot into the gateway, his focus is to learn the nuances of Engineering. And he lays impetus on gaining the hard skills which could land him his dream job. When an engineering student reaches the third year, he realizes that his knowledge, projects and assignments, and test scores would not suffice. He should be able to make an impression during the interview process and walk through his Dream Company’s golden gates. Other students with the same hard skills are stiff competition. Now, what is the differentiator, and how do they make an impact??
A survey of 303 employers across the country by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) in 2010 found that most graduates lacked adequate “soft skills” to be employed in the industry. As per the report, 75 percent of technical graduates and more than 85 percent of general students are unemployable. Not taking soft skills as an essential skill is like asking for irreparable damage. Not only does an engineering student need these skills to make a head start in the job market, but they are needed to sustain the job as well.
Soft Skills are harder to learn since they involve unlearning your instinctive reactions (which were never questioned during your entire life) and replacing them with a more deliberate approach to win in every situation. I want to assure every reader that it is not that a student can’t be brought to pace and taught this subtle art. Yes, art! Now that explains why it is so evasive!!
Colleges know that they are answerable. Their success depends not only on giving their students the working knowledge of engineering but also on the Return on investment of the money, time, and energy that can sustain their position as leaders.
Every college worth it’s salt is working on making students future-ready. They are not only restructuring the existing learning system, working on acquiring unprecedented industry patronage, and striking strategic international alliances for holistic development but have included applicative soft skills programs in their agenda.
One such college Is JBIT Dehradun, We take responsibility for the round personality development of students.
JBIT Dehradun realized that Automation and Artificial Intelligence would result in a great proportion of jobs relying on Soft Skills. Thanks to cutting–edge technology, tasks that require hard skills continue to decline, making Soft Skills the key differentiator in the workplace. Their determination to adapt and fit into the ever-changing industrial environment is extremely practical and a need of the hour.
JBIT Dehradun calls industry specialists for the simulation of the interview environment to give its students a flavor of variety.
No wonder their industry alliances for on-campus placements are swelling by the year. The robust placement results from a very systematic approach toward meeting the industry’s needs and fulfilling the commitment JBIT makes to its student. Fine-tuning the student’s skills for a rewarding career has adequately paid off JBIT Dehradun’s turn into an industry leader!
