Making You Placement Ready: A Book for Commencement of a Professional Voyage (Hardbound - 2017)

Soft skills are the soul of any expression. They can be inculcated and attained by minute observation of one’s own self. Lau Tse said, “Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

The book aims at creating your own destiny with character, habits, actions and words. It will develop and sustain the inquisitiveness of the learners through doing. We always follow the shortcuts and apply the rule of “chalta hai” in our daily life, which kills our curiousity.

The book is comprised of 6 chapters along with worksheets. We have tried to cater to the content based on practical approach, surveys and face-to-face conversations with placed students.
