Delivering the convocation address at Kalasalingam University here on Sunday, Mr. Thangarathnam, said that though employment opportunities still abound, the companies now expect the graduating engineers to be highly skilled during recruitment itself. But if you ask the IT companies, they will say that there are several vacancies but they are not finding appropriate talent," he said. Mr. Thangarathnam told the graduating students that this was the best time to be engineers as technology was rapidly revolutionizing the way people live. Stating that transformation through technology was only going to accelerate further, Mr. Thangarathnam said that engineers therefore will have a huge role to play. Stressing on the role a college played in moulding students’ careers, Mr. Thangarathnam lauded Kalasalingam University for providing excellent facilities for its students to learn.
