First of all Thanks to Rediff for such a platform to raise such serious issues, but would appreciate if the thoughts and seriousness lead to meaningfull solution and appropriate consideration. The onus lies on AICTE, Govt as well as individuals. AICTE should realise the reality before allocating Engg College Permissions (Even the statistics in this article confirms the same).All the political connections with education field should be blunted ASAP. The focus should be more on improving the Quality rather than Quantity of Engineers.AICTE as well as Govt should provide the job opening to fresh engineers in their own discipline (rather than current IT trend).Also the education institutions should be monitored and provided with proper infrastructure and facilities to nurture these young troops. The most imp we have so many messages on board but dont u all feel some or other way we r also responsible for current scenario? So guys and gals gear-up and avoid the same with the new batch passing out of your college by the most possible and appropriate route.
the level of engg.. is very bad even in IITs , xposure is so bad in iit also that they hardly know the abc..of it and morever it stresses on muuging up. and not yr creativity...also money in core engg profession is so bad ..tnhat 1 have two think twice to make full carrer
the major concern in this is the growth rate of population ,which is a hindrance to the economy and for the devolopment of country also a serious effort from all the people from all the sections of the society is required in this regard the dirty politicians play the dirty politics for the votes and do not dream for good of the country take china as a role model in this regard and take drastic steps dev..
Indian engineers are good as long as they are not produced by the current Indian education system, starting from school up to engineering colleges. The presence of the Internet is making a perceptible difference for some, the majority are just GIGO. With the GIGO exam systems and mucky lecturers who want to see Therejas and Guptas spewed out as exam answers, it is no wonder that engineers are declining as an intelligent tribe. The best ones came till 15 years back and were soon rendered dumb by the public undertakings. The ones who escaped have proved the foot warriors of todays IT revolution
India will produce more number of engineers than america and europe.It is good sign, but what about quality of the outcomming engineers? Are they globally competent enough, where thay are eligible to do the core technical works or limited only to do back office work of companies of develop countries.
What i think is india should concentrate more on the R&D and to invest more in this field, rather than producing more number of absolete engineers.
Engineers are not even normally paid and they do not have any legal status. So good stuff is not coming in engineering. Engineering should be lucrative enough to attract good stuff.
Glad to comment on this.I am an MTech in Computer Science, but my story is little diffrent as i did my engineering after MSc, I did this because i knew in our country better-paying jobs are only reserved for engineers and science students are assumed to be future teachers.
This negligence of including science reserch in industry/technology has resulted in mass going towards decent paying engineering stream, thus as mass increases with given financial funds the quality is bound to come down (similatr to Boyles PV=const law).
Only a good collaboration between industry and science principles can reverse this dogma and make us earn some good science Intellectual property rights.
