Keywords:
students, employment, economy, stress, confidenceAbstract
Introduction
India is a developing country with a rising need to recruit a good workforce.With the current education system in
India, there is still doubt regarding the employability of students as well as the pass outs. Major factor influencing
this is that the present education system doesn't expose students to a professional job outside, and hence, once
they pass out, they have less skills and experience to begin with.
Methodology
It is a cross sectional study for a duration of 3 months. It is a self-structured, questionnaire which was circulated. A
sample size of 163, from students of all branches, was reached. The data was collected, and analysed with SPSS.
Frequencies and chi-square was done.
Results
Most of the participants were studying medical(87.1%). There was significant association between employment
and feeling tensed, between branch and comfort in making decisions for myself and between branch and leading
balanced life.
Conclusion
We would like to say that an open employment programme for students >18 years, is the need of the hour. It will
help in realising and tapping into the new ideas and desires with the zest of youthful energy. It will help the overall
economy of the community, as most of the students will be employed first time and will be a part of the new
economy which will take shape in the future.
