AB  - Employability is defined as the capacity to capture and retain a job or to find a new opportunity in
an organization. University graduates stand at the dawn of their careers, seeking meaningful employment in a
labour market that is characterised by volatile change and globalisation. Fresh engineering graduates are an
important source of recruitment for different establishments to fill entry level positions. This study aims to
explore the association between the organizational features and organizational choice engineering graduates
in Tamil Nadu, India. It also aims to explore the impact of some demographic variables on the career prospects.
A self-administered questionnaire consisting of standardised instruments was distributed randomly to 250 final
year engineering students of 15 colleges in Tamil Nadu. For achieving the objectives, 8 organizational attributes
were determined based on the review of literature like compensation and benefits, organizational branding,
working hours, transportation, job security, career growth, training and working conditions. The results indicate
that compensation and benefits has the greatest influence on the organizational choice followed by working
hours, transportation and job security.
