Abstract
With the increasing need for a workforce with diverse skill sets, educational institutions face the challenge of inventing teaching techniques that transcend disciplinary limits and foster crucial skills for career success. Task-Based Approach employs in creating and executing educational activities that revolve around real-world tasks, promoting a dynamic learning atmosphere.

This study also adds to the current discussion about teaching methods that ready students for prosperous careers in a professional environment that is more interconnected and complex. This research adopts a quantitative approach, where an online questionnaire distributed via Google Forms to assess the effectiveness of the Task-Based Approach in an Interdisciplinary classroom. The study examines a sample size of 760 technical students from selected colleges in Madhya Pradesh. The statistical technique employed for analysis is Multiple Linear Regression in the SPSS software version 2023, enabling the exploration of correlations and variations among independent and dependent variables. Overall, this study underscores the significance of implementing Task-Based methodology through an Interdisciplinary learning in nurturing employability skills among technical students, thereby making a meaningful contribution to their personal and professional success.
