The candidates will be imparted communication and English language skills, computer knowledge and Mathematics which are essential to succeed in various competitive examinations and job interviews.

Balaiah stated that 216 students who underwent training in the JKC were recruited in 2007-08 by reputed companies such as Infosys Technologies, Satyam Computer Services Ltd, Wipro, Citibank, Reliance Industries and NFCL.
