Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


To give you an example, in Germany engineering graduate have to do atleast a year of industrial experience otherwise they do not get their degree. Some universities in Canada also implement this, for example University of Waterloo has coop program where first year onwards students study one semester and work one semester, thereby by the time they graduate they have 16-20 months of actual industrial experience and ready job offers from multiple employers.

In Pakistan we need something similar.
