Abstract
Collaborative learning makes the students to learn in amore formal way in a team. It increases the student engagement and there exists continuous interaction between the participants. It improves critical thinking and problem solving capabilities of learners. Courses which require these technical and soft skills can adopt Collaborative Learning strategies. Apart from the improvement in these skills, it also improves their behaviours in communication, team building skills among the students and so on. It ultimately shows greater improvement in their campus placement, which is the ideal objective of every graduate today.
