This paper discusses the faculty view on the employability skills of students from Arts and Science College, which reflects the existing gaps and challenges that hinder the job readiness of students. Employability skills are a combination of technical and non-technical skills that enable students to survive in different occupational and life contexts. Even though students have technical knowledge, many of them fail to acquire critical soft skills such as communication, adaptability, and critical thinking, which are increasingly valued by employers. Such perceptions of faculty members toward this gap are studied by incorporating industry-aligned academic curriculums, experiential exposures through learning, and skill-related training. The study indicated non-significant correlation of skills with employability across a range of ages; and therefore, other variables influencing the teaching methodology, irrelevance of curriculum to modern markets, and lack of relevant practical exposure are far more critical.
