Analysis of factors determinant professional students employability skills with reference to engineering education in India

Perception on any issue is largely based on the belief and experience. The fact the institutes/university have largely designed the engineering curriculum addressing only the technical subjects, the young engineering students ignorantly believe and perceive the engineering employability skills is all about technical subjects, without understanding the hard reality of employability skills. The academia has a greater role in changing the perception of engineering students towards their employability skills. There are few study attempted to know how the engineering student perceives about his employability skills. In this regard the institute/universities have to take the responsibilities in shaping up and transform the belief system of engineering students about employability skills. According to this need, the research aims to study the influence of Institution on opinion towards Employability skills of engineering students and to assess the predictor variables of students' satisfaction towards employability skills. The structured questionnaire was used to collect the primary data and convenience sampling technique was adapted. The SEM was used to propose a model for perception of employability skills in engineering institutions.
