Top 5 Degrees Employers Favor
New Delhi:

The latest ranking being Global Employability Ranking of institutes which ranked institutes across the globe on their ability to prepare students for employment. In line with employability rank, are also the degrees which promise better employment opportunities for students than others. With Universities, these days, offering more than 200 degree courses and most universities also offering the option to choose a variety of combination, it can indeed be difficult for a student to select which degree to pursue.
