Not a degree, you need to have ability to do any job!

In Japan, in addition to teaching the curriculum, skills are taught so that the student can grow. In China, technology students are offered a job along with a degree.
But in our country, the idea of getting a degree is morefor a student than having the necessary skills. While millions of engineering students are coming out every year, only thousands aregetting jobs. Industry groups are commenting that jobs cannot be given with just degree and not having any skills. Experts say that education is not just about graduating but also about becoming proficient.They say… that is the path to success.

No use with just a degree
There is no point if students just take the degree and go out. They have to upgrade internal capabilities and achieve necessary skills for the industry need. We have to work towards that from the first year.
