Academics, skills key in grabbing placements: KITS Warangal

Warangal: Academic excellence and skill are two vital elements that play a crucial role in cracking the campus placements, the Principal of the Kakatiya Institute of Technology & Science Warangal (KITSW) Prof K Ashoka Reddy said.

He told the students to master professional and problem-solving skills, interacting abilities, communication and concepts of engineering domain knowledge.

"RPA, CISCO, IBM blue Prism, UIPATH and automation anywhere are the potential areas in latest software field and hence the students need to put their heart and soul in them. Automation is leading technology in the industry," Ashoka Reddy said.

Dr B Ramadevi, HoD, ECE said that the programme is a student-based technical platform to nurture young talent and enlighten them.

The students should follow five 'E' - Engage, Explore, Explain, Evaluate and Envision, she said.
