If the number of students appearing in all India engineering entrances exams and state level engineering entrance exam every year is any indicator of the popularity of engineering programs among Indian students, it is going to the one of the most popular stream at least for a decade or so but is this interest for the stream doing any good to these students? The answer is a big no because as per the recent study, with over 2500 Engineering colleges in the country, producing over 7 lakh graduates every year only 10% of the engineers passing out of colleges from Tier 2/3 cities in the country are employable. The question then arise is that is there something fundamentally wrong with the stream or it is merely because engineering programs offered here is not in sync with the changing nature of the job market and technological updating happening all around, the answer has to be in the affirmative.
How different is engineering studies abroad
Unlike engineering courses in India, engineering courses abroad are delivered in close cooperation with industries and are based on the current industrial needs, incorporating mandatory internships as part of the program thereby leading to ample job opportunities upon completion of studies which gives lot of confidence to students wishing to pursue Engineering studies abroad. Wide array of programs are offered at both undergraduate and post graduate levels. Engineering graduates can look to pursue post graduate studies abroad within a short span of time in a cost effective manner and also earn credits for relevant courses. Most foreign universities/college offer advanced Standing facility to qualify the applicant for direct entry to the second or higher level of any program thus reducing the duration of study. Scholarships and bursaries are offered by many prestigious universities to help bright Indian students looking to pursue overseas engineering programs. With the relative simplifying of norms and documentation part for seeking bank loans for overseas studies, an overseas study aspirant can easily avail this loan. Repayments will not be a cause of worry at all as armed with an overseas engineering degree you will have no dirt of job offers once you pass out
Niche program designed for the changing market requirements
Institutions abroad rightly gauge the importance and future demand of various niche programs such as Robotics engineering, Bio-medical Engineering, Oil and Gas engineering, Environmental engineering, Mining, Aircraft maintenance, Audio and Video Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Design Engineering Agricultural engineering, Fire Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electro-mechanical engineering, etc that have opened up newer areas of employment opportunities in the international arena for bright Indian engineering students.
Programs like Masters in Engineering in Public funded Universities and institutions in Germany can be pursued even without tuition fees. Bachelors in Engineering with various niche specializations, Industry endorsed cost effective programs with Co-op in Canada, Bachelors in Petroleum engineering with excellent scholarship and 1 year industrial placement, Masters in Oil and Gas Engineering are on offer
Engineering students with managerial interest can opt for various Management programs in line with their studies by taking up various unique tailor-made programs such as Masters in Engineering Management, Project Management, etc. in various institutions abroad.
