In order to meet the growing demands most of the multinational and transnational corporations need MBAs who are adaptable, flexible with entrepreneurial attitude and who can act as change agents in the organization. But there is a huge gap between what industry looks for and what is available in terms of skilled students. Enhancing employability skills in business education is considered as an important challenge for all universities, colleges and institutes. We have deliberately made an attempt to judge the employability skills of Management students and we are also interested to know the perceptions of employers as well as teachers of different management institutes in terms of their employability.
