Abstract
The aim of this research is to critically analyze the Intellectual Capacity and Behavior Skills of the engineering students of Nagpur region. There are many relevant abilities and skills which are necessarily evaluated to understand engineering students and their employability. However, for the purpose of this research critical analysis is restricted to most important factors as IC and BS.
 The challenge of the engineering institutions is to attend the readiness of the engineering students to match industry expectations in terms of Intellectual Capacity and Behavior Skills. The researcher has identified the gap in the IC and BS. Whatsoever is the requirement from the industry are not matched by the present generation engineers. Hence, researcher has analyzed critically both the dimensions selecting a sample of 1426 engineering students. IC is assessed by the SPM and behavior skills questionnaire is constructed and both the tests administered virtually on the selected sample. This research is descriptive and correlational design is used. Hence, mean median, mode and coefficient of correlation has been used to describe the entire data. The data is collected from six different branches of third year and final year students of 21 engineering colleges of Nagpur but this research is restricted to core branches like Civil, Electrical and Mechanical engineering only.
 First hypothesis states that IC and BS of the engineering students are correlated. Second Hypothesis states that IC impacts BS intern employability is enhanced. Third Hypothesis states that IC directly impacts BS.
 The result indicates that IC is strongly correlated with BS in two branches of engineering, namely Civil and Electrical and negligible and non-significant relationship is obtained among students of Mechanical Engineering. Another prominent result is IC has direct impact on BS except students from few colleges, particularly with the CBSE students. One more critical observation is that IC has a direct impact on BS but higher level of IC does not mean the student is employable. But higher level of BS is directly associated with the employability of the engineers. However, such impact of BS by-and-large does not ensure the employment to the engineering students.
