Many&lt;br /&gt;students, particularly those from non-English medium schools, find that they are not&lt;br /&gt;preferred due to their inadequacy of communication skills and soft skills, despite&lt;br /&gt;possessing sound knowledge in their subject area along with technical capability.&lt;br /&gt;Keeping in view their pre-employment needs and career requirements, this course on&lt;br /&gt;Communication Skills Laboratory will prepare students to adapt themselves with ease to&lt;br /&gt;the industry environment, thus rendering them as prospective assets to industries. The&lt;br /&gt;course will equip the students with the necessary communication skills that would go a&lt;br /&gt;long way in helping them in their profession.&lt;br /&gt;OBJECTIVES:&lt;br /&gt; To equip students of engineering and technology with effective speaking and&lt;br /&gt;listening skills in English.&lt;br /&gt; To help them develop their soft skills and interpersonal skills, which will make the&lt;br /&gt;transition from college to workplace smoother and help them excel in their job.&lt;br /&gt; To enhance the performance of students at Placement Interviews, Group&lt;br /&gt;Discussions and other recruitment exercises.&lt;br /&gt;A.
