2.4 Sub-Objective-3 To carry out a comparison between the IL&FS Skills and other organizations for the
parameters that have been carried out.

1) Number Of centers

Figure-1.5
Here we can see from the above chart that AISECT is the organization having the largest number of Centers in
India. B-Able follows AISECT followed by Empower Pragati. ISDC has 390 centers all over India.

2) Number Of Students Trained

So from the Chart shown below we can see that ISDC has trained the maximum number of students during the
last year. It has taken most of the pie of the students trained. Here we can also see that out of all the organizations
in Delhi/NCR, ISDC has trained almost 44% of the students followed by Globsyn skills and Don Bosco tech
Society. So this makes ISDC the market leader in the skill development sector.

So from the above chart we can see that Lok Bharti Skilling solution which is a Regional NSDC Training partner
has the highest number of students trained per center which is followed by ISDC. Organizations like AISECT and
BABLE has the least number of students per center which shows there inefficiency. A new center costs too much
so there is a need to improve the number of students per centre. ISDC should also try to work on increasing the
number of students per center to reduce cost and achieve maximum output out of a perticular centre.

4) Placement Percentage

Figure-1.8
Here we can see from the above chart that ISDC has the highest placement percentage which is around 80%
followed by Lok Bharti 73% and Gras Academy 65%. Though ISDC has highest ratio but there is still a scope for
ISDC to improve its placement percentage to 90-100% to create an edge above those organizations. Other
organizations are quiet new and hence they are improving there placement percentage year over year. So ISDC
should work on improving placement percentage to maintain the highest standard.

5) Courses Run by the Organizations

Specialized Courses- BFSI, IT/ITes, Sales Associates, Banking, Insurance
General Courses- Retail, Manufacturing, Construction, Plumbing, Welding, Retail, Travel, Hospitality, Tourism,
Basic English, Computer courses
Special Courses- House Keeping, Mobile repairing, Automobiles, BPO
Most of the organizations are running all the general courses. ISDC also runs all the major general and specialized
courses. But ISDC is still lacking in some special courses like housekeeping and mobile repairing which are
growing at a very faster pace now a days. Mobile repairing is a very vast course which has lot of potential for a
student. So ISDC should start focusing on special courses more to expand their range.

6) Work Structure

Work structure followed by ISDC is the best adopted and hence there is no need to change it. All which is needed
is the proper implementation of all the steps in the structure. Other organizations do not follow this structure and
hence they face some problems somewhere or the other.

7) Target Segment

Majorly, all the organizations are focusing only on unemployed and poor people in rural areas. But in urban areas
also, there is a huge chunk of population which is unemployed and unskilled. Many of them falls in the category
of poor people and BPL card holders. So ISDC should also focus more on BPL holders and unemployed people in
urban areas which can improve their turnover.

50

CHATPER-3 RECOMMENDATIONS

1) ISDC should focus on improving its number of students per centre which will improve the overall efficiency
and revenues of the organizations.

2) ISDC should work to improve its placement percentage. The current placement percentage is around 80%.
Many organizations in this sector are increasing their placement percentage and are moving towards 80%. So to
create an edge over those organizations more placement linkages should be made.

3) ISDC should start some specialized courses like house-keeping, Mobile Repairing etc which are strength for
some other organizations. ISDC should focus on these courses also to keep an upper hand over other
organizations in all trades.

4) Focus should also be given on the unemployed and poor people in Urban areas because most of the
organizations are focusing mainly only on rural areas. Urban areas are also having a huge potential which needs to
be utilized.

5) Still there are many areas in which people are not aware about these skill development courses. So Marketing
should be increased in those areas to make the people aware about the courses and the STAR scheme. The main
marketing techniques which can be used are Nukkad Nataks, Van Decoration, Small events in local schools,
organizing camps in villages and cities, more local language promotions etc.

6) Franchisee centers should maintain a proper standard of education according to the rules and regulations. So
regular surprise checks should be done to ensure maintenance of standards.

7) Hostel and Travel facility can be provided to students at a cheaper cost to attract more students. Some
organizations are using these services to attract more students.
