Publications
If you are a graduate student, publications are really a must. They show that your work has been accepted by the community, and not just some internal working idea that benefits only a small sector. As a Master's student I would expect at least one journal publication, preferably two or three (which is average). As a PhD student I would expect more (as the period is longer and the work much deeper); a minimum would be around three really good publications and the expectation is around five.
In general, publications are focused on quality. I do not support students to publish in conferences such as IASTED (A list of preferred publication venues are listed below) and quality is the focus over quantity - a good paper in a good journal is more important than three average papers.
