Abstract

The main objective of the paper is to study the communication skills (listening, speaking, writing, and reading) among the students. The paper attempts to study the gaps where exactly the students are lacking in either writing or speaking. As such, there is growing competition among the job seekers to win at employment interviews; recruiters are highly testing the communication skills among the candidates. The word communication does not mean just only speaking, however the other skills writing, listening and reading also have a prominent role in developing core competencies. The study has adopted stratified random sampling method to select the sample; the data have been collected by using well-developed questionnaire, which consists of twenty items fewer than four factors. The analysis of the data has been done using statistical tools with the help of SPSS.
