Top Skills Recruiters Expect To See In Mechanical Engineering Graduates
The most important thing when you are a BTech fresher is to get placed as soon as possible. In today’s competitive world, a mere degree guarantees nothing at all. Since there are many graduates vying for a limited number of jobs, the recruiters have become even more selective than ever before. They look for some specific skill sets before granting placements . Here we are listing a few :
Academic Performance/GPA : There’s no two ways about it people. Your GPA or aggregate over semesters is one of the most reliable metric the company will use to discern whether or not you have the discipline, the aptitude, the discipline to be employed at a firm. A poor GPA reflects lack of discipline, laziness and even ineptness.
Leadership acumen : Since most engineering graduates later shift to management roles, one must have ideally shown leadership acumen such as leading in student unions, founded a society etc. Such extra curriculars where you have demonstrated leadership potential show you as a well rounded person.
Interested in Latest Tech Developments : As an engineer you are expected to have uptodate knowledge of the latest developments in your field. In fact in your placement interviews you will explicitly be asked about the latest tech developments in your field or related fields.
Additional Tech skills : You should be adept in some CAD languages such as Pro -e, Catia, Hypermesh etc.
