May 21, 2011: Kalpana Pathak in her recent article in the Business Standard talks about companies complaining that the stock churned out by most business schools is unemployable. She quotes from the study published last year by Aspiring Minds which showed that employability of engineering graduates was as low as 4.22 per cent for IT product companies and 17.84 per cent for IT service companies. KPOs, the survey said, will find only 9.47 per cent graduates employable and BPOs 38.23 per cent. Thus, 61.77 per cent students require training in both soft-skills and problem-solving skills to be eligible for any job in the IT and IT-enabled service sectors.
