I have could not read article in detail, but having counseling experience of 10 years. I would like to guide in my friend's experience.
They tried giving some projects to final year engineering students (To strengthen industry-college relation for the benefit of the students) , but all efforts failed. Mainly B'coz many students were preparing for MBA entrance than having interest for technical stuff. This was sad. In my opinion if you decide for engineering then whole effort must be put behind that.
( I did graduation in Electronics. And after 20 years of successful technical working mainly in R & D, I did parttime MBA to just get an Idea of business side. For me it was a sideline course to put some more info. For my managerial part.) I am surprise to see some fresh graduate, apply for MBA. And hoping to join some financial institutes. Then why did they spent valuable life time in studying whole technical jargon? Huge money! Wasted one seat. They could have simply done B. Com. And have gone for MBA. (Now a days not all MBAs get good opportunity. Sometime back when many foreign firms came there was a heavy need of managers and financial personnel. But slowly it's getting saturated.) In my view many MBA colleges take huge fees, not worth at all! If any engineer do not properly chose the MBA program then he becomes just one more M. com. Guy, having commercial knowledge but do not gained much entrepreneurship.
Many engineers see easy money in financial institutes, but s

Partially I agree with you. But you there is problem in system and people keep on complaining about this system problem, but very few are, who take a step to correct system rather curse it. I liked your friend offer project but still this is not going to workout. We need some leader who can work closely with them to help to bring into main stream. They blindly oscillate because they dont have proper mentor or guide. Also they need support. Most of the people have some thing in their mind but could not initiate due to fear of failure.In this case they need some support to provide confidence and support to ensure their initiative will go to 100%. Belive me this kind of treatment will change the system quickly. I am taking a lead and I am going to work from home option for 1-2 month and going to work with close to 20 engg in Indore. Anyone who have interest they are most welcome. If you can not join, but still you can share your idea, support. I am having 12 yrs experience in IT industry and going to modulate the same for the students
I was happy to hear that. None of the IIT-ian should be ever selected to such institute. The reason is, you study on government subsidised education to become a good engineer and atleast do good in this field if not serving the country yet they go for management and become corporate ducks. such a waste of tax payers money. More over they deny a prospective engineer of studying in IIT by accepting their admission. My point is why should one join IIT if their goal is to study management courses. Go for general line then opt for IIM instead. Why do you waste one prestigious seat at IIT .
I didnt find anything inspiring in this article. Yes I accept inmportant information is provided that liberal arts are as important in life as science is. Fact is the social development is more dependent on liberal arts than on science, but this article is no way inspiring.

It only shows that anyone who cant make it to IIM can easily get into IAS. And once an IAS, any one can say anything in India & no one can dispute/refute. He thinks he got into because of his performance. In all likelihood he got into it because he was IAS. And Govt possibly sponsored too.
Looking down on the bogus humanities subjects is correct. The crisis in USA is due to the bogus humanities professors setting up fake subjects and fake research topics to get grants. Stop imitating the Whites. In fact, Indians dominating the technology sector is because Indians have their priorities right.

Indian's are dominating technology sector's ?? are you kidding or what ???
Which "Technology sector" are Indians dominating ?? please define technology first . Unless Call Centers , Software Companies ( which surprisingly do not develop any meaningful software , they only support ) are included in your definition of Technology ??
You need a reality check . Even our Doctoral thesis in India are copy paste jobs . In a country where Vice Chancellors and PH.D guides are Plagiarists you cannot expect dominance in any R&D .
