“Making themselves employable is one such issue. They devote hardly any time,energy an effort to help themselves.
To become employable,a student must suitably integrate his knowledge and skills and convert them into useful competencies,” he said.
He averred that while knowledge and analytical thinking will always remain at the core of functioning of any organisation,the soft and generic skills make the difference.
“A student must develop specific generic skills like reading,writing,speaking,listening and presentation,positive attitude,etiquettes and manners etc. They must also learn to manage themselves,understand their strengths and weakness and know how to control their negative emotions to be able to lead a successful and powerful life,” he advised.
