Alka Dhingra of Teamlease said, “compared to 2014 hiring rate will grow 10 to 12 percent”.

Going by the history, every year over 1 million students are achieving engineering degree. Not all of them are appointed primarily. So for those who are left should brush up their potentiality in order to get hired.
