Vimal highlighted the expanding career opportunities available in the Sriperumbudur Industrial Hub, a major manufacturing and industrial center near Chennai. He explained that industries in this region actively seek graduates who possess strong hands-on skills, troubleshooting abilities, and industry-oriented training.

Both alumni emphasized the importance of add-on certification courses such as CADD, AutoCAD Electrical, E-Plan, and MEP design, noting that expertise in electrical drafting and design software plays a vital role in securing well-paid jobs, particularly in Dubai where MEP coordination and electrical design documentation are highly valued.
