Bhaskar is also emphatic about the importance of a graduate�s CV to a potential employer. �A CV should never be an autobiography. Instead, it should highlight the core competencies of the individual supported by empirical evidences. It should shed light on the potential employee�s ability to learn and adopt, work with cross cultural and cross functional teams, his/her ability to ideate and the ability to lead.�

In a day and age where a variety of challenges (technological and globalization) have created complexities in the market, Bhaskar is confident that �students realise that classroom exposure is going to have relevance in later professional life� provided their engagement level is high. He concludes that �curriculums must be dynamically altered and emphasis must be put on real-life projects with organizations so as to complement the classroom courses.�
