“Analysis of Gap in Employability Skills of Graduate Engineers-with special reference to Recruitment and Selection of Electronic Engineering students in Nagpur”

A candidate's degree will make him eligible to apply for jobs that specify "must be a graduate” and the subject or class of his degree may also be important to certain employers. But however good is the degree class, however relevant is the subject to the career that he'll be applying for, it is likely that he will be competing for this job with a number of other graduates who are equally well-qualified academically.

It is very difficult these days to compete with others just on academics basis. If there are a hundred candidates applying for some ten vacancies with same academic degree then how would one be able to grab attention of the employers and get him selected for the job?

There are certain skill sets which apart from academics help an individual to fetch a job called as employability skills.

It is very important to understand as to how many individuals truly understand their position with respect to industry needs and are aware of the employability scenario. The research aims at understanding what are the current trends in terms of employability skills which are being expected by the employers. Analysis of the data collected analyzed by IBM SPSS application software.

The research concludes whether the engineering graduates possess the employability skills as against the industry expectations.
