Popular Indian author, Chetan Bhagat, spoke at an interactive session organised by an engineering college in Kolkata and talked about the importance of marketing. He told the students that getting high scores in board exams is not enough. Apart from good scores, students must know how to market themselves, the national best-selling author added.

Chetan Bhagat was speaking at the 'Impact of Digital Co-creation in Business Revolution' session. Emphasizing the importance of communication, he said that an individual who scores high marks but cannot communicate finds it very difficult to get a job in the market.

Giving the examples of Americans, the author said that the Americans are excellent in marketing.

He also added that students should not aim for marks but should understand the subjects taught in school for improving their analytical skills.
