The mood of recruiters has changed, in 2025 the demand is not for bookworms, but for this special talent.

News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s era, the degrees written in your resume are just ‘gate pass’, the real entry is available only on the basis of your ability i.e. skills. After all, what do companies want from students now? Let us understand this in very simple and straightforward words.1. This is the era of ‘Practical’, not just theory. Earlier students used to memorize the theories written in books and score good marks and get placement. But in 2025, companies are clearly saying “Don’t tell us what is written in the book, show us it.” Recruiters are looking for students who can solve real-life problems. If you cannot make a strategy by looking at the data, then even 90% of your marks are of no use.2. Friendship with technology is necessary (Tech-Savvy is must) Now whether you are in marketing, HR or finance, you cannot run away from technology. In 2025, companies are looking for MBA graduates who have a basic understanding of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ (AI) and Data Analytics. If you don’t know how to use today’s tools, the company won’t waste its time teaching you.3. Adaptability is the biggest quality. After Corona, the business world changes overnight. Recruiters want people who are not ‘dogmatic’. Those who do not panic in changing circumstances, but find new ways. This is called ‘Adaptability’. Now such questions are often being asked in interviews which can test how you take decisions in times of trouble.4. Communication Skills: Just speaking English fluently is not everything. Explaining your point to others and taking your team along has emerged as the biggest skill. Emotional Intelligence, i.e. understanding the feelings of others, has now become more important than a degree for a leadership role. What should students do? There is no need to panic, just change the method. Take internship seriously: Do not do internship just for the certificate, learn the work there. Be digital: Learn some technical tools along with your domain. Networking: Do not limit yourself to classmates only. Stay, talk to people from the industry. Ultimately, in 2025, only those who have a degree and are ‘smart’ will get jobs. Don’t be part of the crowd, work on your skills, because the corporate world now needs ‘solution givers’ and not just managers.
