A majority of graduates in India lack basic business proficiency skills and over 40 per cent students give more importance to employability skills over the domain knowledge, a survey has said.
The survey was conducted by research agency Frost & Sullivan on behalf of Indian School of Integrated Learning (ISIL) to identify, describe and produce analysis of interacting factors which influence the learning choices of students and to develop associated solutions.
It was conducted across three cities - Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore - and feedbacks were collected from 1,000 students across 20 educational institutions.
Mumbai students rated themselves less proficient on communication and decision-making skills, while their Delhi counterparts considered domain knowledge and presentation skills more important, the survey said.
