hi...Generally it had been seen that in the engineering colleges the students are having very good technical skills but lack the communication and presentation skills and hence are not able to express there views in an effective manner and hence soem times loosing the kind of appreciation they really deserve ,

the first thing what you can do to improve your communication skill is to start conversing with your friends only in english this will surely make you well conversed with the language and you will feel with ease furing times of presenation,
also you should try to participitate in as many paper presentations and various other programs like debate and elocutions to remove away your dtage fear and also improving your confidence because its not easy to speak by seeing in the eyes of many people so it requires lota of practice and improves with practice

this is a very good task that you have opted now............to increase your soft skills and presentation just try to talk in yourself and in a manner by supposing that you are talking to your sir or any senior person..............ask the interview question to yourself.........and answer to yourself in another way.........by this way you can improve your presentation skills...

participate in presentations that happened in your collage or another collage...

Hello Friends,

The presentation strategies can be put under three P's . They are

2. Preparation
3. Performance

Steps to follow
1. What does this audience want to hear?
2. keep an eye contact with audience, and move around the stage
3. Speak slowly so that the audience able to understand your concept.
4. Be visual - use some pictures and videos. make the audience more interest.
5. Practice it with your friends before presentation
6. Don't just read what you put in slides ..explain them.
