The researchers have made an attempt to develop a new approach to forecast probability of placement of fresh engineering graduates in Software Industries. Skills sets identified from literature review and validated based on stakeholder’s opinion. The performances of engineering students on skill sets were recorded by conducting test. Software Package of Social Sciences version 20 is used to find correlation between skill sets and develop mathematical model to forecast probability of placement. The nonlinear relation of independent variable with dependent variable is converted into linear relation to develop model by using multiple regression analysis. Impact of input skill sets i.e. Aptitude, Communication, Technical and Personality skill factor on probability of placement was checked with the help of sensitive analysis. The study emphasized that the institute need to take special efforts for enhancing competencies in fresh engineering graduate to make them employable.

Fresh Graduate, Employability, Forecast, Probability of Placement.
