After completion of the graduation in engineering stream or in management stream, student faces lot of problems when he enters in the competitive world to search for a job where he has to participate in group events as team member or team leader. Therefore in order to equip students with adequate communicative competence the student should be actively engaged in classroom activities for real communication and learning.
