In today's scenario of higher education, placement is a buzz word. Parents and students prefer colleges and institutions which arrange placement opportunities by conducting campus placement and placement readiness training. Every college and institution tries to maximize their placement ratio. During the last decade, the opportunities for graduates in various sectors have increased tremendously, especially for engineering students. Institutions organize on-campus and off-campus placement and job fair by pooling students from various institutions, wherein companies recruit students in large number. However there are many graduates who are not able to get through the recruitment process and jobs. There is strong association between academic variables like branch of study in engineering programme, type of stay, mode of admission, Board of study, medium of study, total marks in plus two, mathematics marks etc. and employability quotient of the engineering students. Hence in this paper an attempt is made by the authors to analyse the relationship between academic variables and employability quotient of engineering students.
