A 2½-minute interview from St. Joseph’s college Assistant professor G. Jebaraj has ripped through tamil Nadu student circles like wildfire — not because it’s controversial, but because it finally says out loud what every IT fresher quietly knows:
Engineering degrees alone aren’t getting anyone hired anymore — but Naan Mudhalvan just might.
With industry-grade training, real-world projects, patents, MSME internships, and statewide talent showcases, this scheme has quietly become the single biggest skill multiplier in tamil Nadu’s education system.
And students are now saying what the professor said bluntly:
“Colleges teach C++ and Java. Naan Mudhalvan gives the edge that actually gets you hired.”
1. The interview That Went Viral for One Reason: Brutal Honesty
In a world full of sugar-coated academic lectures, Jebaraj dropped the truth:
The curriculum is outdated.
Companies want hands-on skills, not marksheets.
students need industry exposure, not just labs.
Naan Mudhalvan is filling the exact gap colleges failed to address for decades.
2. Free Skill Training That Normally Costs ₹50,000–₹1,00,000 Outside
The scheme gives students access to:
Industry-grade software tools
Corporate-level training modules
Hackathons, sprints, and mentorship
Direct evaluation from hiring partners
All free, state-funded, and available to every serious student.
3. Projects That Look Like Real Jobs — Not college Assignments
This isn’t PowerPoint nonsense.
Students get:
cross-department collaboration (IT + Mech + CSE + EEE)
real industrial problems to solve
prototypes that companies actually evaluate
The best ones get showcased at the state level — some are being patented.
4. Direct industry Implant: MSME Internships Without Bureaucratic Hassle
Naan Mudhalvan places students inside MSMEs — not as “observers,” but as contributors.
This is where students finally understand real-world deadlines, requirements, iterations, and client expectations.
Recruiters know this is gold.
5. The Hiring Advantage Is Real — Companies Prefer NM-Trained Students
Because they’ve already:
worked on teams
used real tools
handled real tasks
developed portfolios
This is the “extra edge” the professor talks about — the difference between placed and placed-on-hold.
6. tamil Nadu Schemes Compared to the 2000s Australian cricket Team — UNSTOPPABLE
One comment nailed it:
“Stalin’s schemes are like the 2000s Australian team — unstoppable. The debate isn’t which one is bad, but which one is best.”
Breakfast Scheme.
Mahalir Urimai Thogai.
Vidiyal bus Scheme.
Pudhumai Penn Scheme.
Tamil Pudhalvan Scheme.
Naan Mudhalvan.
Every scheme hits like a match-winning innings.
Together, they’re building a generation with strength, stability, and opportunity.
7. These Schemes Aren’t Just Popular — They’re Built to Outlast Politics
These initiatives:
improve education
improve nutrition
empower women
support students
strengthen employment
These aren’t five-year gimmicks.
They’re policies that will survive governments, because society benefits whether you support or oppose the ruling party.
🔥 BOTTOM-LINE PUNCH
Naan Mudhalvan isn’t a scheme — it’s tamil Nadu’s new competitive advantage.
While others debate degrees vs. skills, the state quietly built a machine that produces job-ready graduates at scale.
And now, even professors are saying it:
This is the future — and tamil Nadu is already living in it.
