Btech - a craze in today’s young…
For a few years, Btech is a hot course among Indian students. India produces more than 6 lakh Engineers every year. Do we have Engineers in real???
Am not talking about other countries but India is full of Btech holders. As the Engineers we have, they really wanted to be an Engineer?
This is the story of most of the Engineering students.
This may be due to a few reasons:-
· Family pressure
· Confusion in choosing their interest areas.
· Revolution in software industries…
Now somehow students get admission to different colleges having great glass infrastructures and opt for their departments as they are asked by some seniors or parents or cullies without knowing the departments and their interests.
In many colleges, many companies come to the campus for placement and recruit students in bulk in companies at good packages and perks.
I took a visit to many colleges after the placement season was over. I found that a lot of students got their respective companies joining letters. I also found that the students from different departments had the joining letter of the companies they do not belong.
But how many students actually hold themselves in their fields? How many students are placed in the department they belong to? I have noticed many students from electrical, electronics, chemical, etc. students placed in some software companies or some consultant companies.
There are a number of students who are from some other departments building their career in some software company and also there are some students from computer or IT departments of Engineering working as HR in some company or working on some other post besides their profile.
No doubt India is very good in competition in any field, India is also ahead in generating jobs, but is it relevant?
Is this way we are respecting our talents? How fair is this? Are we jeopardizing the degree and talents?
I met lots of students from different backgrounds. Now I can say that an MCA holder is a good computer person than any Btech in computer science. But even then in any company, the MCA holder has to pass lots of rounds than a Btech holder for the same computer designation. This doesn’t end here, if we compare the salary then there is also a huge gap in it.
Once an Engineering student of some other department enters into the software industry, how easy for him to grow and survive in that industry? And if he wants to switch to the field he belongs to, then how much does this software industry experience help him to grab the opportunity in that field?
According to the companies they took or recruit students on the ground of aptitude tests and their quant technique.
But any way aptitude test is not the evaluation of the syllabus that we have through during our courses but it is the evaluation of the mind and how much logic anyone can create with the available resources.
Yes, I don’t deny that most of the students who passed the aptitude test are from engineering backgrounds but also the number of students participating in that test from Engineering backgrounds is large as compared to that from different backgrounds.
According to most of the university’s syllabi as I know in Engineering there are only three or four semesters that have maths in their curriculum, also which have nothing to do with aptitude.
This is all our education system. If it gives degrees then also should have to create jobs for them and here is that job… and I can say that this is one of the reasons for brain drain. This is also one of the reasons that we don’t have good quality professionals at most of the places.
I would say Btech is now a fashion in India…
