 BUT,
A STUDENT'S
FUTURE LOOKS
PROMISING...
According to Labor Department, Government of India,
job openings across India in January 2010 alone rose
to an unprecedented 2.7 million.
With booming sectors such as Retail, IT and ITES, Health
Services etc., employment opportunities are growing fast.
India is developing rapidly and its market is growing in
every field and industry. With India's growth rate headed for
double digits, employment opportunities are bound to
continue their growth story into the future. Companies are
increasingly recruiting fresh graduates in an attempt to
infuse youthful passion and zeal in their organizations.

ALL'S NOT
THAT BRIGHT...
“ India would face 'talent gap' – the lack of right skills for the job
required – of more than 5 million by 2012, as existing educational
institutions do not impart employable skills. The $ 1.1 trillion economy
will have a shortfall of 750,000 skilled workers over the next five
years.”
-CII and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Report : 'India's
Demographic Dilemma’
Today, the emphasis of recruitment is not just on technically skilled
candidates; soft skills and interpersonal skills are increasingly sought after
by Corporates. These companies seek employees who are equipped to
deliver outstanding performance across all job-related aspects, including
technical and managerial capabilities. Though most universities
acknowledge the need for introducing career specific courses, the desired
focus on applied training is often sidelined.
