  • Is India Falling Out of Love with Engineering? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
    Today is India's national "Engineer's Day". It is observed on the birth anniversary of M. Visvesvaraya. India's love affair with engineering is as well known as its engineers.
    For many, engineering colleges are a gateway to success. But competition is fierce all the way. Now, fewer students are passing engineering courses compared to 2022.
    Government data says almost half of India's engineering undergraduates are unemployable. Why is that? Palki Sharma tells you more.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

      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.

      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

    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.

    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.

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.

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..
