Chennai , April 16 About 90 per cent of the students who pass out of engineering colleges are not employable, as they do not have the requisite soft skills, according to Mr R. Kannan, CEO of the Singapore-based Careersuniversal Pte Ltd. He said even students who had good academic records had difficulty in speaking English, taking part in group discussions and positioning themselves. Only students who pass out colleges that had a stringent entry filter found jobs easily, he said.
