The panellists not only expressed their views but also gave a vivid insight into the organizational structure and its functioning.
Through the course of the deliberation, panellists shared various reasons for inculcating employability skills. Heterogeneous workforce, they pointed out, is a common phenomenon in almost all eminent organizations, therefore empathy, both by the employer and employee, must be practiced.
While expatiating on the common interview questions of the HR round, panellist Ms Vithani called to attention the fact that boilerplate answers are not what HR professionals expect. Further, Mr Sarkar shared pertinent information regarding the written & technical interview rounds. In due course of the discussion, Ms Purkayastha emphasized the importance of being conscious of gestures & body language in communication.

In the interactive session, several students asked significant questions to which all three panellists replied comprehensively.
The session concluded with the Vote of Thanks by senior faculty member Mr Sayan Roy.
