Students need to develop self-confidence as it have an important role in the business world. Confident people are more successful at work than the people who lack it ,because confident people are always motivated at work. That is the reason many professional colleges have taken initiative on developing self-confidence in students.

Self-confidence is an inner power which help student to belief in their own abilities to perform any task without afraid of risk of failure .
