Employability is more than about developing attributes, techniques or experience just to enable a student to get a job, or to progress within a current career. It is about learning and the emphasis is less on ‘employ’ and more on ‘ability’. In essence, the emphasis is on developing critical, reflective abilities, with a view to empowering and enhancing the learner. The present research is an attempt towards the analysis of employability skills, viz.,the survival skills, for the young business gradates who may pursue their professional life . The study tries to answer a few questions like 1) What is the role of business schools in producing useful graduates for recruiting organizations with employability skills (survival skills )and, 2) How can classroom knowledge be integrated with workplace knowledge in the education process. It is well understood from the research that there is significant relationship between survival skills imparted by the educational institutions, during their academic tenure and employability options.
