ABSTRACT
Purpose of the Research: Majority of the students are opting only for the degree-based courses even though the courses in Polytechnic colleges also provide various opportunities to improvise their skill-based career and even there are lots of job opportunities available in their polytechnic colleges. Due to lack of awareness among the students, they are not opting for the skill-based courses and polytechnic colleges. The main significance of this study is to understand the student perspective for reason for joining the college, to identify the infrastructure of the polytechnic colleges and also understand the placement and internship opportunities provided inside the polytechnic colleges. Methodology: This study is a descriptive and exploratory in nature and questionnaire is used as tools for data collection. The stratified method is used for collecting the data in government college in Chennai region. Findings: From the findings and discussion, the major result found that, among the respondents only 10.5% of the students joined polytechnic colleges with their own interest. Implications: Bringing awareness about the polytechnic course would bring long-term benefits in terms of systemic changes amongst students in improving career choices.
