language

"There is a huge amount of research which shows that the language skills are the best predictor of being a successful professional, and that is why the entire world considers these skills as amongst the most important parameter for both under-graduate as well as post-graduate admissions."
Tell that to the Board of Intermediate Education, Andhra Pradesh.
All the junior colleges and hence all students who enter the degree college, consider language skill of least importance. In college, the students bunk most of their English classes and all their second language classes because they consider it to be a total waste of time. No amount of explaining that language is the only vehicle for thoughts, is of any use, because all through their school and junior college, they have been told that they can ignore the languages. Most of the students I see have very poor language skills whether it is English or their mother tongue.
