Abstract

Communication skills have become one of the most important factors shaping student success in India’s higher education system. Many students complete their degree with subject knowledge, but they still face serious difficulty in interviews, group discussions, presentations, and workplace communication because they lack confidence and practical communication ability. This paper examines how weak communication skills affect Indian students’ academic performance, placement chances, interview readiness, and long-term career development. Written from the perspective of an Indian college teacher, the paper argues that communication training must be treated as a core part of higher education rather than an optional add-on.
