Discussing the reason why lakhs of engineers fail to find jobs, K Subburam, Principal, SRM Arts and Science College said that almost 90 percent of engineers don't get jobs because they don't know how to present themselves at interviews, "Institutes don't help students develop their personality, they don't teach them communication, attitude or emotional stability, so despite the fact that they may be academically sound they have no way of letting their prospective employers realise their potential," he explained. Adding that it SRM would take special care to ensure this doesn't happen to their students.
