Professional communication is taught in colleges and universities. Professional communication
comprises of many things such as language, body language, interview skills, time management etc. In a university where classes are heterogeneous, teachers face many changes. Students especially from convent schools who feel comfortable at conversing in English take lightly to professional communication classes. These students do not hesitate in speaking English but the weak students (at speaking) do not tend to come forward. The heterogeneity of the class put challenges front of teachers. This paper aims to bring forth the challenges faced by teachers in various technical and non technical institutions.
