Engineering college should handled by state Technical Board and not by the Private owners who are running it for their profit making and producing Engineers like Arts & Commerce Graduates in lots.
This is not a comparative statement, so non-chennaites please don't get flustered! For the level of electronic, auto, textile, light machines and other industries in Chennai area, there are simply not enough mechanical, electronic engineering colleges of good quality! The state has to put pressure on Central govt to invest in more central universities in TN. A state like UP has an impressive lineup of colleges. In TN it is mostly state and deemed universities, which are okay to an extent. But if Chennai wants to develop from the present 'blue-collared' status to the ranks of 'white collared' status of Bengaluru for example, there has to be more central govt investment in higher education in the state, especially in completely neglected areas like biotechnology, technical management (MBA in line with engineering), etc.
It feels so pathetic to know that Gujarat does not have any good enginnering college. Look at smaller states like Haryana and Kerala where there are many more colleges. Gujarat was once the richest state in India and people used to call Ahmedabad as Manchester of India. Most of my friends in Gujarat had to go to Maharashtra or Karnataka for higher studies. Government has to do something about this, otherwise Gujarat will only go backward and other states will progress way beyond Gujarat.

VERY TRUE. I COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU. TECHNICAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE GOVERNMENT ONLY. ENOUGH OF THIS PRIVATISATION OF EDUCATION.
...earlier I was accustomed to A / B / C grading...now it seems everyone is of grade A, only some have few more A or A ... simply, we still can't call a spade a spade !!!
You can get engineering certificates in Andra without attending collges.. give money and any of university will print marksheet and eng certificates in Andra colleges..50% who are out of eng will be having fake certificates...
