Like body language, handwriting is analysed in an attempt to gain a deeper understanding of a person's behavior, motivations or personality. But unlike nonverbal gestures, handwriting leaves a trace, making it possible to examine at any time or place. -Annette Poizner, Certified Graphologist

Nevertheless,mostotherengineering collegesweregrapplingwithobsolete courses,poorinfrastructureanda scarcityofteachingpersonnel.This qualitygapusuallyproducespoorly equippedgraduatestocarryout industrydemands.
