It is known fact that in India, every year, lakhs of students pass out from engineering colleges and institutes. Out of which 85% to 96% of these engineering students are unemployable because of lack of basic skills like communication skills in English language, technical skill, logical or rational ability, and professional skills etc, which we will discuss in details. Research has also proved that nearly 45% of the engineering students cannot understand even the details of their courses, which are in English text. There is a criticism from the experts that such skills need to be taught from the time when they were in their engineering college.
