मैडम आप एक ऐसा रिपोर्ट तैयार करिए जिसमें बताया जाए कि यूपीए कांग्रेस सरकार के काल में 2005 साल में कितने इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज थे और उसके बाद अचानक २००६-२००७से इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज की संख्या कैसे बढ गई और वह प्राइवेट कॉलेज किसको चलाने के लिए दिए गए, उसके लाइसेंस किसको दिए गए , यह बहुत बड़ा स्कैम किया है यूपीए के कांग्रेस के सरकार ने , ऐसी जगह में इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज दिए गए जहां न लैब थी ना टीचर थे न लाइब्रेरी थी फिर भी इंजीनियरिंग कॉलेज चलते थे अभी पिछले दो -चार सालों में वह सब कॉलेज बंद पड़ गए हैं, यही इंजीनियरिंग को खत्म करने के लिए डिसीजन जो यूपीए सरकार मे लिया गया जिम्मेदार है
Yes Lakshya, but dignity needs to be earned. In last four five decades every professional started running after money and hence lost dignity. I remember earlier every professional was followed by Saheb for example Vakil Saheb, Doctor Saheb, Engineer Saheb but now money has eaten Saheb hence no dignity.
Honestly, the drop in numbers for engineering enrollments should be seen as a positive. It means that India is truly diversifying in opportunities and engineering need not be the only way Indians succeed in their pursuit to build the nation!
There is a deep dive one has to take before arriving at the conclusion you stated. Has the drop in engineering enrollments come in parallel to a rise in non-engineering enrollments? Is it possible that students just didn't enroll at all? Also, are the students employable in non-engineering fields and is there a job market for the same? These are some questions that have to be thought about before we conclude whether this is a positive. I feel the education system has failed to a large extent, and parallelly, the job market has not expanded at the rate it should have. Many deep issues have to be addressed to mitigate this.
@@siddhikantmishra No, we didn't conclude anything. It's just a thought of the reason might be for the drop in student enrollment for engineering and also the drop in job market.
Palki narrates the news so well. She first makes a long speech about the popularity of engineering, and lists the world-renowned Indian engineers, then an interlude about the current challenges and difficulties encountered by engineers, and, finally, shows the dropping enrollment numbers of engineering students and the bleak job prospects for them.

As of today ( Sept, 24, 2023), China can make 7nm semiconductor chips while India can make 7mm chips (potato chips). 1 mm = 1000000 nm． Conclusion: India needs engineers.
Engineering is hard. It is not for everyone. In the past, students chose to pursue engineering without knowing what they are signing up to. This produced terrible bad engineers in quality. So the decrease in number is a good thing. High school students must explore several career options and choose the one that they REALLY WANT.
If you observe closely there is no other option except Engineering, Medical or CA Foundation after high school, If you compare employibility still then these are far more employable than arts degree holder
@@amaldev4150This country is overpopulated. Every field you enter has thousands of people competing for same position. The cost Of education is increasing every year. It's bound to happen parents are scared for there kida
Types of engineering students in India: 1. Ones who join out of passion 2. Ones who join out of societal and parental pressure 3. Ones who join following the herd 4. Ones who join for social status
I feel,engineering graduates from most of the colleges don't get very highly paying jobs and we still use text books which were used during our father's time and there is a gap between colleges and Industry expectation.
Even in west most Mech & Civil Eng has 60s- 80s theories texts etc( note its from my study time& matter of fact observations/ chats during next 10+ yrs & I don't remember having similar chats on this issue last 10-15 yrs as it wasn't a regular topic of discussions) , Except computer analysis programs standard of these field's changed somewhat regurlaly, in my observation, inldn CAD CAM, Quality, Manufacturig etc, also wing aerodynamics analysis softwres etc are updated every several (5-10+/-) yrs so.
It's essential for syllabus designers to structure it in a way that guarantees a minimum of 60% is aligned with current opportunities, while the remaining 40% is open for students to choose as elective coursework.
I am from Editorial background. I first witnessed a dip in Engineering jobs when my cousin who was more than five years older than me sitting idle at home after completing his B.E. He was a bright student then. When he casually asked me what group I would be taking in 11th, I mentioned the Commerce group since I don't have any interest in Science. He mocked me for opting for such a group. I casually asked him if he wanted me to take the Science group and be unemployed like him. It has been more than 15 years since I graduated and still neither the fees of Engineering have gone down nor have Engineering jobs gone up. I currently work as a Copy Editor in a Publishing company. 90% of my colleagues are either from Science or Engineering background. This is the situation. So there is nothing to wonder as students ignore Engineering. They are in the right path.
Madam, my analysis 👇🏻 In India, marketing and sales get higher importance than actual engineering. Electronics and computer guys somehow get into their field but lool at mechanical, automotive, civil guys. They complete engineering but most of them work in marketing, business development in their respective streams as they getbetter pay for those jobs along with travels and lot of other perks. Where as those who get into engineering work at very low salaries. Sometime their condition is pathetic. Yes this is a issue in India. Companies especially Indiam companies should be innovation centric that supports in providing better rewards for engineers.
@@whitepanda95That's better than Electrical Engineers because the grid in India is government owned and only take few Engineers on permanent basis through competitive exams.
As an African engineer who graduated from Indian university, one thing is for sure, u can learn better education from a privately owned programming tuition than from ur own university. I was lucky enough to find mentors who shaped my career but most of my classmate students unfortunately were not lucky enough to pass let alone be employable.
Only the institutes managed by central government bodies and a handful of state managed & private engineering colleges offer quality education. Rest all are substandard.
Proves you barely know anything about the Indian education system. It totally depends on which university you studied in, there are the premiere institutions that churn out geniuses like IITs, IISc and IISERs, then there are a few top NITs and some good central Universities, these are the institutions that are highest in demand in the country and all are under the central government. They provide great education, alumni like Sundar Pichai who go on to be CEO of companies like Google. People study like crazy to get into these institutions and only after they fail they choose to go to private institutions in India. Ofcourse there are a few great private institutions too but can't be compared to IITs. Then there are the other universities/engineering institutions that are quite subpar, that advertise a lot trying to rope in international students and Indians alike but aren't actually any good.
@@harshitabhuyan8892u r naive to assume that i know nothing about indian education system, I'm more familiar than many indians if i may say so. I do know IITs are super competitive and highly rated schooling platform but that also doesn't guarantee it will produce employable talent. I'm based in a western country now, i do work with an IIT graduate and a tier 3 graduate, both are in same experience but the IIT guy is the least one to contribute on our team and most dumb ( not saying it literally but I mean takes him alot of time to understand simple thing). So i do know what I'm talking about. I graduated from tier 3 university, to be honest most of my classmate students will need at least 1 extra year of training to be employable, that was my point.
@@coderahmed6158 No. IITs along with some other institutions (Like NITs, BITS Pilani, etc) are the only few that are able to churn out the employable talents. Selecting the best students might be a factor. But not the rest of Indian engineering colleges, that have plagued hook and corner of the country. Majority of Engineering graduates in India are from those colleges only and not the IITs or other equivalent group of institutions. Neither these institutions are very credible nor are the students entering into them. Today not anyone can get into IIT, but everyone, literally everyone, can be an engineer.
Engineering is hard. Computer science demands constant learning, discipline and fast adaptation. There is over supply and less demand which makes it a poor career choice. Students after 12 are always super excited for CS engineering. By the time they are in 3rd year , they realize how much sacrifice it requires. Never ending supply is the main problem in engineering. you are replaceable any given day. In short term your career could be okay but in long term the competition will make you sick. You will realize just surviving in CS IT sector as you age will become so hard cause you'll be replaceable by any young talent.
Has India fallen out of love with engineering? No, the love is still there. The job market has changed. In the u.s. a lot of kids don't want to go to college. They think it's a waste of money, because they most likely will not get into the job of their field. It doesn't matter. What matters is having a minimum of a bachelor's degree. I went to college for electrical engineering. When I got out of college, it took me 6 years before I found a job in my field.
Just getting a bachelors degree in any discipline is not really much helpful either. It's important to pick a major that's in demand, and engineering is one such major (because as long as we have civilization, we will need to build and improve things). So, of course, it does matter. I don't mean to sound harsh, but if it took you 6 years to find the first job in your field after getting a degree in EE, then the problem is you (I'm curious who gave you a job anyway, because I'm not sure how much knowledge one can retain 6 years after graduating). There's a lot of demand for good EEs, because it's not an easy field, so finding good engineers is difficult. I'm in this field myself, that's how I know.
The cost of Going to college is extremely high in US IT'S just that many household cannot afford it. It's crime that we tell 17 yo kids to take thousands of dollars is debt
@@krox477 At the end of the day, you only have yourself to blame for your life. Those who want something bad enough, will do what they need to achieve it.
The reason for drop in engineering enrollment is not due to it becoming unpopular but due to opportunities in other fields like biology, software etc which didn't exist before. It is good that the drop will mean that the quality increases.
I am mechanical engineer from a state institute. Currently working as ld assistant at state secretariat. Got engineering out of my head as soon as I graduated because I knew I wouldn’t be a good engineer. Trying to become a state civil servant.
A two-way problem. Most engineering graduates are not qualified engineers. On the other hand, only IT and associated sectors pay well. The industry people want talented mechanical engineers to join for salaries of 7-8 LPA.
if you are an actually talented mechanical engineer starting is probably closer to 15-20. But yeah just learning some programming and being a slightly above average software engineer is a better prospect than being a top class mechanical or chemical one.
@@tarunyadav3567true. You can also climb ranks easily/, quickly in IT sectors. My friend passed out with Comp eng degree 2 years ago abd now he's a project manager of sorts. Not sure about his role but he says he's a manager. He only did programming for a year or maybe even less
I know my friends who were gate india toppers and department toppers at iisc. They got placed with 15 LPA. Other departments like center for product design gets paid better. There is no market for people who can works with differential equation
at IITk last year Jaguar had 21 LPA and Tata projects had 16 LPA for bachelors. SLB had a 33 LPA package but I believe that was an oil rig job which is rare and unappealing for other reasons. That's like 7 total people for mech core. Meanwhile others easily landed 25+ jobs as data analysts, software developers etc. Really very little incentive from industry to try. Only people interested in research pursue core engineering
In India, non-IT Engineers have low salary and fewer opportunities. I earn 542 $ per month and the company management says that because we don't have software experience ( Embedded/DSP programming), hence core Engineers deserve a low salary. The company also doesn't train and we are only allowed to do documentation works instead of skill upgrading. I would never suggest non-IT Engineering to my son unless he study that from the tier 1 colleges in India or abroad.
I would like to add a perspective here. When Ma'am said that 60% of IIT Bombay grads went for non core jobs, she failed to take into account the fact that a lot of IITians are going for consulting and Investment banking jobs. Not because they cannot find jobs in their own fields, but because the consult/IB roles pay 5x over.
As a 2020 pass out from Media, who would have otherwise gone to engineering, problem is people go for Engineering just to become anything else but core Engineers. Which is a waste of talent and their hard work in that field. Instead they go for banking, or Computer Science even if they are from Mechanical or Chemical field. I have therefore more pride in IISCs they produce what they are made for, instead of over glamourising a course it should be important we make dedicated but amazing youth in their fields. Imagine with our mech engineers what all manufacturing feats we would achieve if they chose their field for career. I joined Media and Advertising as a job and trust me you do well if you have talent and work hard. Not getting into IIT IS NOT END OF LIFE. You can do good if not better in a field where India needs you.
Still In my school class 12 A & B Maths students are 100+ Bio only 26 😂😂 & other 12th commerce are 100+ & Girls are in majority in Bio, Very few Indians are choosing Medical which is due to Mountainous Fees of MBBS in our country
This is amusing and foolish, to say the least. Now there are degrees where one needs to be excellent in both Math and Biology. Welcome to the new world. You cannot ignore one over the other.
Babu I am Neet Educator at a reputed coaching institute and believe me more students are in Neet and I get more paycheque than Math teacher , chemistry and Physics, cause engineers are in high supply. God not an IITian but work with them and get paid more than them. Never thought this would be my reality😅
"Mountainous fees of MBBS in our country" ......U can complete your entire 5.5 yrs of MBBS at AIIMS in 5000 INR. For the last 1 yr u also get about 28k per month as a stipend. In other colleges the total cost would be around 70k for entire 5.5 years of MBBS.
@@Remy4556 Wtf I was talking about Private which don't need marks above 610 in Neet starting price are 1cr then it goes 1.25cr, 1.5cr, 2cr, 2.5cr. You are talking like everyone can study in AIIMS Delhi which don't have seats more than 200 😂😂 & forget so called General Castes like Us.
Neet has the most demand in recent years. Engineering has become a more of a burden than boon for most people nowadays. The course is exceptionally tough and the pay grade isn't worth it. Many engineers are now unemployed especially after covid with companies and start ups failing and hiring less engineers, laying off employees. Engineering is 90% trouble and 10% result. It's not worth it
Each & every field of study is more prominent for a country's thriving economy. So I hope this descending is for a huge leap in the near future. Happy engineer's day.
Being a mech. Engg. Graduate i can say one thing reforms are much needed in engg. Courses rather than rotting the syllabus the practical approach and problem solving skills should be improved and curriculum should be according to what industry demands rather than studying the old one which is obsolete now days.
At this point, mech ain't even worth it. It's saddening to see what's happened to this field. Explains why many engineers wind up doing absolutely anything but engineering.
It is now all about software engineer. Tier 3 engineering colleges trains each branch student to be a software engineer. They have their training and placement cell.
dont worry, these indian enginners will make world best indian companies one day soon. we need rapid transformation in higher studies, each passing day, we r losing, as we r not providing, what can be done very easily.
Engineering may have it's problems in India, but better enrollment in STEM courses and investment in STEM jobs is important to make India an advanced economy. Jaihind 🇮🇳
I was surprised when my college going son told me he calls a newly launched offroader Btech SUV. When asked to clarify,he said it is just like Btech,it is one which people will buy who have no other option. It was an eye opener .
There are not enough engineering jobs in India. Everyone says there is a lack of skilled engineers in India, but no one blames the recruitment process of IT companies, these guys select people based on 10th and 12th marks which have nothing to do with IT and not how technically sound someone is. And these same companies then cry India doesn't have skilled engineers. 😂
People selling pakoda, chai in streets earn better than Engineers in India.. That's the reality..😢 Lots of engineering seats in kerala state is lying vacant..(Not IITs or Govt Colleges )
Now a days most of the engineers are bankers and most of the arts, social science ,commerce students are preparing for such banks and other such types of exams .
Creating more engineering Students doesn't do justice neither with country nor with the students. If only those who actually studying engineering with their passion will create value for the country or the world. And those who fails will find another way to go ahead in life. But parents also need to be aware of the fact that failing in engineering doesn't mean they failed in life. Ideas are born where there is no fear and right environment is provided.
How prestigious used to be a BE earlier ..be it mech electrical or electronics and used to occupy high position like GM in prestigious production public ..govt sector..leading as head of the organisation . The Allahabad university BE student made records of the excellence and reached to top position like vehicle factory ..ordinance depots and at US in NASA . Thats why in toto factuals and graphic figures mentioned do reflect truth of the todays engineering studies . Subh kaamnayeyn.
Well it's a good new India never needed Engineers in such huge quantity. Field like Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Electronics are literally dying due to craze of CS
Same...fields in Medicine like Dental Science, Veterinary, Ayurveda are literally non-existent bcoz of craze for MBBS. Its actually sad that we Indians ourselves are ignoring Ayurveda when the whole world is praising its benefits.
Only 20% of Indian Engineers are actually Employable according to Confederation of Indian industries. The rest 80% do non-Engineering jobs like driving Uber taxis, preparing for government employment, low pay job or worse simply end up unemployed.
Problem with core branches are there are no decent jobs with pays , specially mechanical and its sub branches , thats reason we are not good at manufacturing .
Mastery of Calculus decides the future of a country. All economies of East Asia have had meteoric rise with Engineering capabilities starting first with Japan, S.Korea, Tai wan etc. Even Chi na's rise has been aided by its Engineering not cheap labour alone. Look at Germany and the reputation it built with precision engineering. Maximum people have been pulled out of poverty by the East Asian economies. India needs to have a test of graduating Engineers too in Engineering Calculus and give additional certificate of Engineering to passing graduates to separate genuine and the cream from fluff. This will help industry know the real talent. After all Engineering = Applied Calculus with focus on a specific field.
I have searched jobs in my core mechanical for2 years and gave n numbers of interviews before deciding to switch to IT field and now when i look back its a good choice as many of my friends almost have no jobs or jobs with low pay
Looks like India could not compete with China anytime soon. India's leaders should lead the way to encourage India's engineers to advance and to utilize their education and skills.
It's good, more colleges need to shut down because it's those college management's greed which caused this fate to engineering courses. These scraps are useful only to those who some how need a b tech /BE certificate they neither have the infrastructure nor they pay their teachers properly but always collect fee from students without due😇
Things may be a tiny bit better now, but I graduated from a major university with a degree in Mechanical Engineering without having made a single product. Our Engineering program needs to be restructured with a focus on being able to create products.. Most graduates dont have the ability to make a product as simple as a screw. Know an engineer? ask them
It is a disturbing vicious circle. Are they unemployable because of a glut in the market or because of the free-falling of standards, they are underpaid or unemployed?
I think declining numbers of engineers in India are a sign that the country has already exported its best brains abroad. Those who have remained in India are less brainy, less talented, and less able to do the harder mental work of engineering.
Kya bakwas logic he 😂😂😂 1.5 billion in India don't have brain according to you 😂😂😂 When a 12 th pass and commerce graduate does SAP course for 3 months and gets 80000 per month job why would kids choose engineering 😂😂😂😂
Palki Bhagini, Please make a show showing importance of Gurukul system and also introduce Maitreyee Gurukul from Moorkaje Karnataka. I have my twins studying in Gurukul. It's one sacred place where they believe food boarding education should never be sold. It's not easy for parents or for children to make 12 years education happen . Buts it's the ideal place where children learn Maths, Science, Sanskrit and many more knowledge life skills. This is exactly similar to Gurukul system existed 200 years back where thousands existed..now they are in single digit. Hoping to see you with with subject some day on First Post. With best regards, Sudha Vaidya
i was an Electrical Engineer until 2018, job is hard as hell, literally like a labor job with no safety, while salary is so low that even a house painter earns twice my salary. Quit that line, bcz there's no respect for Engineer until you're from a big expensive university. Now i'm a photoshop artist or photoshop technician, Salary is still below 15k bcz there's no minimum wage set buy the Indian govt. even after getting computer degree. But, at least its kind of a white collar job, Remote job option, like WFO & WFH, both options are available. Maybe a time will come our salaries will also increase like India's GDP..
2:44 you are wrong. For 10 lakh students there are only 10,000 IIT seats and 50% of them are reserved so acceptance rate is not 5% its 0.5% for a general male candidate, if you are in top 5% you get a tier 3 college like MAIT for computer science or IT and for IIT delhi or IIT bombay computer science you have to be in top 50 to 100 out of 1 million candidates i.e. 0.005% chance for a general male candidate
@@Remy4556but those 2,50,000 have to qualify mains first out of 12,00,000 aspirants and out of that 2.5L also aproxx 1L+ are from reserved category he is speaking right

A doctor wouldn't advise his/her junior to choose medicine as a career too. Its frustrating. 5.5 yrs of MBBS and then 3 yrs of PG. The syllabus is notoriously difficult and vast. Checking on patients is difficult too. Surgery is a nightmare.
@@Remy4556 that's true but some are making fortune by private practice, I know one of my friend performing operations on daily basis(avg 3-4 operations). Just imagine the amount of money. During corona times, hospitals and doctors made fortunes and that too legally.
BHARAT NEEDS QUALITY NOT QUANTITY. People are losing interest in engineering because the quality of engineers we produce is not good & not uniform. Except for IIT, not many engineering colleges have good practical training.
As a freshly graduated engineer I can assure the problem is not with the students. The education system wants us to ace in outdated curriculum thats irrelevant in today's markets. Companies claim that engineers are unemployable not because we are, but just because they want someone with 5+ years of experience. Companies do not wish to invest time and money in training people to their specific needs. They simply want it done. Therefore they don't hire freshers. And senior engineers are overpaid due to the shortage of experience. Education system fails us. Corporate world fails us. Yet we try and persevere. Because India never backs down. Jai Hind.
Watever you study demand and supply is the only final thing, if there are no demand then iit engineer also don't get job.. This must be understood before telling about quality of education
It's fundamentally a complex issue, in india there is a huge disconnect between engineering education institution (except a few iit's , nit's )and industry. Moreover the last few years saw a huge demand in I.T space but other discipline lost It's course of direction. Further the hands on experience opportunity is not really promoted by industry at large. This could turn out to a threat for indian economic growth pace. Policy maker's should step out of the ivory tower and get their hands dirty at ground before the go on education Policy especially for STEM.
Engineers can become anyone they can dream of beyond just being an engineer - they can go back to school to get other degrees easily to be lawyers, journalists, doctors, sales and marketers, teachers, entrepreneurs sporstmen, politician, even literature/history/anthropology if they want to etc... but hard to go the other way. Engineers learn logic, STEM. People take their degree and job as type set. Need to view it like what creative recipe can I create given my degree and skills. We are good at making varieties of good masala for food - why not with work/jobs?
@@Remy4556 study for tests and join med school. Many do it and I have two in my family. Also, one of my classmates is doing research in IVC history and anthropology after being a successful engineering career. You do not have to get stuck in one place but figure what your passion, interest and your calling. Degrees are just a stepping stone to start your career - that's all. You do not have to be stuck with it forever.
Striker that's possible is you are sitting on pile of wealth, study this study that do this that, many study to get job with loan and they don't get job and finally have no way to pay loan..
Ok in india ,middle class is suffering with marriage n demands coming with it ,mental pressures on taking care of families, along with the educational outcomes ..even u get good job ..ppl cannot leave their parents is one issue .. financially showing good credit n bank account details to move to western countries is a big issue ,managers dealing with middle class ppl are horrible in every company,they wont pay enough ..plus the depression that ur talented enough but not given opportunity due to office politics 😢 need to be dealt ..relatives 😕 are pain in ass ..it messes up ppl .. Its not engineering,its mental engineering that we require .. Its good time we need to start investing in a passionate art or subject we knew ..start a bussiness on it n earn from it .. And let all the horrible managers in all companies n their families buy our stuff with gst and exaggerated prices ..
If we indians stop becoming engineers, computer scientists, scientists, coders, doctors, etc. by the bucketload we can forget about becoming a superpower. The whole words needs STEM students. Those countries who win this race will become the new age colonizers through technology and finance.
I find this baffling as why India couldn't build their own and hires such but had to rely on others outside India to get 'a job' then get trained to see if they are qualified like how you all claimed.
Somebody who has been an engineer, I would never recommend anybody to be an engineer. Worst jobs, job security and life. The businesses, corporations don't give a f about you and your lives. Children of 90% engineers don't want to be engineers, because they see how their parents have been treated like donkeys by the corporates. A person in Finance, HR, admin makes far more strides in his career than an engineer would ever make.
It's good that someone raises this point but I assure you that as Indian companies are paying peanuts to Indian new grads, every engineer aspires to go out of this country now someone will say not all , but only a small amount of engineers are getting paid enough for the heavy work they do
Engineering is not about job. It's all about way of lifestyle. Engineering gives me aware about how to tackle a worse situation and modify all the existing with innovation. If you think about job then you are going in a dark world.

Thanks for the report Palki Mam :).. challenges faced by students in enrolling and completing the course is true and also wrt to employability numbers.. the report could have been more detailed and comprehensive,if the aspect of why there are less numbers in enrollment? Is it with Engineering that the students have fallen out,or only some couple of programs? statistics of student enrollment in,let say:UG civil, mechanical engineering to UG Computer Science,data science,AI and variants..could give a better view of things..just feel if anything,numbers in these branches would be in the uptick... And finally,just out of respect and recognising the immense contributions of the man,on whose birthdate this Engineers day is celebrated,it is not M.Vishweshwaraya..its Sir M Vishweshwaraiya..saying or not saying is left to the choice of the individual or was desired by the man himself,i guess..
Engineering is not everything. This is good, it means the engineer demand is being met and there is a supply issue on other fields that India hasn't focused on. Engineers, Lawyers, Doctors and Entrepreneurs are essential to a good economy but they aren't the end all and be all of it.
You missed to talk about suicide statistics in engineering students, including during the college days and those afterwards. Like shown in 3 Idiots movie, there's no innovation in the teaching method, evaluation only on the basis of marks (obviously the Chaturs can survive this memorizing method and who want to express in their own words are not scored enough), teaching old stuffs that's outdated in the corporate world at present, aspiring for jobs in only in US (brain drain, the biggest jolt in the development of our nation), and students who actually didn't want to pursue engineering in the first place were forced by parents who are just seeing it as a money making future for their children. I passed out of an engineering college in 2009 and the same year the movie was released and so many aspects that was shown were apt to what students like me had been through. None the less I had good teachers (i don't call them lecturers) who were approachable and very helpful at all times. Their life would have been worse miserable than ours I think to tackle all this.
Indian Engineers; should be Hands on; Practical.. Like the Chinese; start manufacturing MEGALOV Trains NUCLEAR SUBS; Amphibious attack vessels: Ships; etc. under sea channels causeways; Elevated Trains 3 Tier roads; structural engineering; etc.
