It is a well-known fact that science and engineering are the two emerging fields of study in 21st century, which play pivotal role in shaping the modern world. The students of these two studies require good communicative competence and vocabulary to succeed in their personal and professional life. The fact of the matter is most of the Indian engineering students hail from rural areas and rural medium backgrounds they feel like a fish out of water whenever they supposed to speak in English. So this incompetence of communicating in English using good vocabulary is the only reason behind their dismal performances during job interviews. This paper tries to explain the significance and the much touted need of learning English language and vocabulary for engineering students.
