📌 SLIDE 2: Industry Expectations from Freshers
The IT industry expects fresh graduates to possess:
Strong fundamentals in core technical concepts
Hands-on experience through real-world projects
Adaptability to current tools, workflows, and technologies
Problem-solving skills, including the ability to build, debug, and collaborate
effectively
Key Concern from Companies:
Many freshers tend to leave jobs within a few months due to minor reasons, peer
influence, or lack of long-term commitment. This leads to:
Loss of training investments by companies
Disruption of project continuity
Hindrance to the student's professional growth and stability
We must prepare students not just technically, but also with the right mindset and work
ethic.
