"Blended learning is one of the aspects, it has started to happen. I don’t think any University or College is planning to go fully digital- they have adopted blended learning and that will be the way forward. However, now scheduling of things will be different- If we have a class of 60 students currently, we might have to reduce it to 20!"

"While we train them for domain skills, we find engineers being poor in soft skills too. Actually for soft skills, there is a bigger gap. This is because in the four years of college, there is hardly anything related to soft skills- not just communication but teamwork etc."

"The employer is looking for, because the employer is getting 1000s of candidates, all of them with almost similar background, how do I as an employer filter and say that these are the five people I want to hire."
