Despite the capabilities and required skills most of them are unemployed or under waged. No focus on skill development and enhancement. Employed in non-core areas like operations, administration; HR etc. Once they get entrenched in jobs they are completely utilized as a multi-tasking person. Generalist (doing all work )at low salary working in all the departments. Most of the students fail to pass CA and other courses and land up in no man’s land. 2 www. esfa. co. in 9700002003
