Parents’ Dilemma!
Will my child come out confident, capable, and employable?
In today’s highly competitive education sector, a degree will not suffice for getting corporate jobs. In fact, parents are really concerned about job readiness, safety & security, discipline, and overall development. Nowadays, to compete, only good higher education institutions focus on these parameters.
Lachoo Memorial College of Science and Technology, located in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, has progressively earned the confidence of parents by inculcating the disciplines of learning and developing the required skills & responsibility among students without making any false claims.
Stability and Academic Values
Lachoo College has been a part of the higher education ecosystem of Rajasthan for the last six decades. Parents often prefer such institutions because we assure continuity, stability, and a well-defined academic culture. Instead of changing directions every now and then, the college has evolved carefully and retained its core focus on education while adapting to the present career needs. Students need discipline in their growing years, and it makes each parent proud when a college encourages discipline and accountability along with education.
All these really matter a lot, and it makes Lachoo College the best sectoral college.
Building Confidence
One of the reasons why the parents trust Lachoo College is that it has an environment led by the faculty members that holistically develops students. They just do not teach for the mere completion of the syllabus, but put more emphasis on concepts, proper assessment, and personalised attention to motivate students’ participation in various non-academic activities.
Indeed, for most students, especially those from first-generation academic families, this support system comes out to be a huge help. Over time, students become more eloquent, confident, and independent. Parents, in particular, notice the improvements in their ward.
Education with Practical Relevance
Lachoo College emphasises developing strong fundamentals with more hours of practical sessions. Whether one is doing science, computers, commerce, or management, the key element in all of these programs is comprehending concepts and relating them in a sensible way with the practical sessions, roleplays and practices.
This way, students become flexible in regard to choosing their career. They do not have skills in one career; rather, they develop a good number of skills for applying in several career openings. This will only be appreciated by those who understand the ever-changing nature of the job market.
A Disciplined and Purpose-Driven Campus
A common concern among parents is whether their child will remain focused during college years. Lachoo College addresses this concern through a structured campus environment that encourages healthy engagement.
Students participate in academic events like Ideathon, cultural programs like Spunk, an Annual Fest, and skill-oriented activities workshops like Digital Marketing that enhance confidence without compromising discipline. The campus culture brings balance, helping students grow socially while remaining committed to their studies.
Being located in Jodhpur, the city which offers higher values, fewer distractions, and calmer environment compared to metros, Many parents see this as an advantage during crucial graduating years.
Lachoo College address this challenge by creating a well-structured campus setting that promotes regular interactions.
Students engage in educational activities such as Ideathon, cultural events such as Spunk (an Annual Fest), and skill acquisition workshops like Digital Marketing that boost the confidence levels of students from all faculties. The college environment ensures that the students maintain a proper balance so that they remain focused on their studies as well.
Since the college is located in the city of Jodhpur, where the values are given high preference, there are very few distractions. Thus, when compared with any metro city, many parents believe that this city is a better choice for their children in the last critical years of graduation.
Understanding Employability: What Parents Should Know?
Across India, employability has become a serious concern, particularly for professional degrees like MBA or MCA. According to India’s Graduate Skill Index 2025 by Mercer-Mettl, only 42.6% of Indian graduates are considered employable overall, meaning more than half are not job-ready[i].
A data graphic included in this blog illustrates the difference between general MBA, MCA graduates and those who receive skill-focused training. The India Skills Report 2025 data show that MBA and MCA graduates can achieve significantly higher employability (78%) when their training aligns with current industry needs, including analytical thinking and interpersonal skills. MCA graduates with updated skill sets also show significantly better employability (~71%).
For parents, this highlights an important truth. The quality of education and skill exposure matters far more than the name of the degree alone.
Studies have shown that although employers expect good communication and interpersonal skills from MBA graduates, very few of them actually exhibit them, thus portraying a large employability gap based on skill deficiency.[ii]
“The feedback from the industry revealed that employers give highest priority to the skills include communication skills (37%), decision-making skills (31%), the need to be a lifelong learner (31%), and the ability to be adaptable (29%). Sometimes, these skills rank above specialised domain knowledge in the hiring priorities of employers, because employers want to hire employees who think, communicate, and adjust quickly.”[iii]
However, another survey that was conducted recently, known as the India Skills Report 2026[iv], reveals that the overall employability rate in India is currently above 56%, where the applicants have realized that it is no longer important to be only academically qualified or have skills that relate to one specific academic domains, but, it is essential to have digital fluency and practical skills that enable organizations to boost their overall efficiency and production rates effectively.
Therefore, parents should look for a colleges that work to develop these skills within their students through a gradual process, rather than trying to prepare students traditionally for academic domains.
Prepares Students for Real Careers
The Lachoo College adopts a realistic and responsible approach toward career preparation. It is not promising job placements but is instead making the students capable and confident enough to compete. The spirit of Lachoo induces them to express ideas, work in teams, and apply classroom learning to real situations.
The guidance on career awareness motivates the students about the different professional pathways and thus prepares them for at least internships or freshers’ jobs.
The value of this approach thus supports long-term employability rather than short-term placement statistics, and is increasingly recognised by parents as the more honest and effective approach.
