The turn of the century has been marked by a remarkable increase in both the number and diversity of career possibilities available. A range of professions earlier rejected for being unprofitable interest pursuits only today find a place among lucrative mainstream careers. Notwithstanding this widening, the field of engineering has maintained its leading position as the top ranked discipline choice of men and women across the world. International surveys of repute indicate that the number of graduates leaving universities with engineering degrees is on a steady rise, as are the scope and volume of engineering jobs.
Engineering graduates are also in high demand in non-engineering sectors globally for their keen scientific and mathematical capabilities.
Sample this- There are almost 3400 engineering colleges in India offering degree courses in as many as 40 disciplines altogether with a capacity of over 15lac students. Between 2005-10, the number of engineering colleges in the India has grown at a sharp rate of 19%.This is attributable to a steep growth in engineering education in the country with a swell in the number of topengineering colleges in India in the last two decades. Given this growth, the quality of education in engineering colleges and employability of engineering graduates has gained attention.
While the emergence of centers of excellence in engineering Colleges in India is on the rise, quality remains a key concern. Choosing the right college and course therefore can be a mind boggling exercise for students.
