As APJ Abdul

of India said,
\"It is not
unemployment that is
the major problem;
it is the
question of unemployability that is the major crisis in
this competitive arena…\"
According to a NASSCOM-McKinsey
report, The Indian Industry is facing its biggest challenge ever: a Talent
shortage of 3.1 million knowledge workers, across Industry, by 2014 compounded
by the fact that only 25 per cent of fresh engineers; and a mere 10% of fresh
graduates are actually employable! The situation is grave, but it can be
addressed through a solution that empowers the youth..
In order to
meet the challenge JNTUH , NASSCOM and its Council Members –Accenture,
Cognizant, HCL, IBM, Infosys, TCS, and Wipro come out for a training program - The Foundation Skills in
IT (FSIT) is aimed to empower students with IT related skills at the entry

The FIST
program has been developed to facilitate the acquisition of foundation skills
required in the IT industry today. The program aims to improve student’s
understanding of the basic concepts involved in software development. This
