Abstract

This study examines MBA students’ self-perceived competence in employability skills essential for managerial positions in business organizations. A structured employability-skills assessment instrument was administered to a convenience sample of MBA students in Coimbatore. The analysis of mean scores and standard deviations reveals that students perceive themselves as moderately to highly competent in several skill areas, particularly group problem solving, identifying essential problem components, and decision-making under time constraints. However, lower competence was perceived in areas such as understanding political and ethical implications of decisions, revising plans with new information, and making effective business presentations. The findings suggest that both program-related and non-program experiences contribute to employability skill development. The study highlights the need for strengthening curriculum components that focus on advanced decision-making, communication, and real-time problem-solving skills. Future research should explore alignment between students’ self-perceptions and their actual skill proficiency....
