They discussed the students' communication skills, time and team management and professional skills in the field of employment.
They said, it has never been easier for graduates to go into the profession of their choice.
Earlier there was less competition but job opportunities were limited. But nowadays the workplace of graduates is spread all over the world. So, their main responsibility is to make themselves competent.
Students need to acquire technical knowledge to survive in the competition. Our graduates are succeeding in their workplaces.
The speakers urged the students to engage in co-curricular activities instead of CGPA dependent studies.
