In due course of the time they become handicapped to use the universal vocabulary related to the field of others and building the gap between industry and academia. The industry is in need of the professionals who can speak to the globe. Because of this limited vocabulary, as the authors are working in the professional colleges observed, that there is a miserable failure when a general topic is given to express. Though the professionals are good at academics fail to express their thought process in an open forum due to lack of vocabulary. It is also observed that the so-called examination system will examine their retention power instead of testing their general ability. The academia on the other hand will not concentrate on universal vocabulary since it is pestered with curriculum and syllabus design. The aspiring students who want to go abroad are struggling to get through the Basic English tests. Since the Common European Framework Reference (CEFR) put some standards in the English language proficiency levels to be recognized globally, the professionals understood the importance of expression. Here exactly the professionals face the building blocks. Though the professionals selected through campus recruitments, feel difficulty to communicate effectively. To reason, the reasons are many to speak on. Hence, the paper is going to address the challenges involved in.
