Dear Sir

    Your absolutely right, most of the LIS  department's have  outdated syllabus and  there is only theory classes, practical classes are not helding properly.  that is the cause why we are facing problems everyday in our professional life. 

 As a budding professional i would like to share some things.   

There should be 2 hour practical classes  in library everyday.

There should be internship programme after completing course.

It is essential..

( Classes on Language/Communication development,Discussion on latest trends in LIS field,Latest or popular  LIS softwares,Digital library, Databases,LIS professional websites/blogs, Research,Recent trends, New terms in LIS,Seminars,Get to gather with other LIS departments students,Special lecture's from department successful alumnies, Mock interviews, Job opportunities Information,NET/SET preparation classes,etc., )

Thanking you.

Thanks Mahesh for your comments, You have given broader area coverage, However some of the departments are following some of them that you have covered in broader area, My concern is that we have to make our syllabus as per international standards that will help to create a competitive as we all potential LIS professionals.

Thanks...!

I agree with both of you. But the main drawback is that there are very less students who want to persue this professtion. The students are also not upto mark to take the international standards.

Thanks
