Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study systematically investigated the communication skills of postgraduate students in India across various universities and academic disciplines. A stratified random sampling strategy was employed to select a sample of N=2000 postgraduate students from three universities. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire assessing communication proficiency, confidence, strengths, weaknesses, and skills improvement. Additionally, participants' performance was evaluated through oral presentations, group discussions, and written communication tasks. The self-report questionnaires revealed that the majority (65-75%) perceived their overall communication proficiency as average to above-average, with 40-50% expressing confidence. Strengths included clarity of expression, active listening, and adaptability, while weaknesses comprised public speaking, conflict resolution, and non-verbal communication. Approximately 60-70% believed they were effective in expressing ideas verbally and perceived improvement during postgraduate studies. Oral presentation assessments exhibited variations, with University A's Science (20% excellent) and Engineering (25% excellent) disciplines performing better. Group discussion assessments highlighted nuanced differences, with University A's Engineering (25% excellent) and University B's Medicine (25% excellent) disciplines excelling. Written communication assessments revealed consistent trends, with 20-25% excellent ratings in Science, Engineering, Medicine, and Social Sciences disciplines. The study underscores the multifaceted nature of communication skills and the need for tailored, discipline-specific training programs to enhance proficiency and contribute to academic development. The findings align with previous research emphasizing the importance of structured communication skills training for postgraduate students. Future studies could explore longitudinal impacts, comparative analyses with undergraduate students, and alternative training methods.
