Is The Standard Of Indian Engineering Colleges Deteriorating?

Plz share ur views:

Above is the question that is bound to emerge in everyone’s mind after reading the news today. AICTE or The All India Council for Technical Education has lowered the eligibility criteria for engineering college admissions from 50% in Class 12 (in physics, chemistry and math or PCM group) to 45% for general category candidates and 40% for reserved category candidates.

The reason behind this move is said to be a response to a huge demand. Kapil Sibal (Union Minister for Human Resource Development) said, “We have to ultimately relax the norms because the demand is huge. It all depends on the market. For instance, this year, people have moved to mechanical engineering courses. Seats in colleges are vacant due to poor standards. We have to address the demand issue.”

Engineering colleges in Maharashtra/Andhrapradesh/Karnataka/Tamilnadu/UP & othres which were finding it difficult to get candidates for degree courses have some reason to cheer now with the eligibility criteria for applicants being relaxed... Do u know Andhra Pradesh has 847 Engg Colleges (According to recent survey). Can u believe it?.. Today India has more than 4500 Engg college............

The All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), an advisory body in all matters relating to technical education, has relaxed the basic eligibility criteria for admissions to the first year engineering course.

The minimum criteria has been brought down to 45 per cent (40 per cent for reserved category) aggregate in physics, chemistry and mathematics (PCM) group in standard XII exam, from 50 per cent in force till last year.

  • I am sure most of you will agree that, Engineering is a coveted profession in India, but at the same time we must not forget that it’s a much respected career. An engineer is ultimately held responsible for the technological advancements in a country.

'If the process of getting inside an engineering degree course is made so easy, students may not feel the importance for this career.

  • It has come down to the rift between ‘quantity’ of engineers and ‘quality’ of engineers. Seeing the current state, one feels that India could use some technical torch-bearers to surpass new frontiers of engineering. Do we need thousands of average-rated engineers churning out of the factory-like colleges or a few really talented and worthy engineers would suffice?
  • Today successful parents are saying:

My dear son/daughter don't go for Engg, becoz it has no value.. Nowadays Engineers are jobless, few of them are also doing job as a contractor, computer seller etc etc....

Students are advised to post their view on this topic
I would like to know your opinion.....

Dear student, In this forum

Dear student,

In this forum so many times I discussed about SIT WBUT..
But again I have to start......
Private cllgs r advertising, they r claiming that they provide 100% placement, but it is not so..
IEM r claiming that Microsoft is their main recruiter...
Once Microsoft recruited one female student on women's day from IEM, so they r advertising that microsoft is their main recruiter.. So maximum students r moving for IEM to get a job in Microsoft.. Same position of techno & other cllgs..

While SIT is a govt college & it does not require any advertising..
Opening & closing do not decide which collg is best...

SIT WBUT is undoubtedly among the best collgs & there is no comparison of it with any private collg.
IEM & all the rest feed on a successful brand of advertising of their college with the names of software giants like Microsoft............

Remember IEM is only a engg collg which is affiliated to WBUT, while SIT is the own engg dept of WBUT...... & SIT WBUT ranked 49th among Top Engg Collgs in India......
Its the real truth, but many won't agree...
For ur info plz visit the official website of SIT..

Plz clear my doubts..... CSE

Plz clear my doubts..... CSE is good or not..???? Everyone is asking me to take ECE/ME/CIVIL.... But I like Computer Science So much.....plz clear my doubts.... ' Ab mai DIL ki sunu ya DIMAG ki ' ..??? M so confused :(

ariNdam SarKar

Do u like computer (I'm not

Do u like computer (I'm not talking about computer games)
R u interested to know how computer works, software, hardware, & if ur basic Maths skill is good.....& if u want do something with IT world.........................................
Then listen to ur heart
There is a misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to others branch.
It is not so, if u e hardworking & talented then there r a lot of opportunity in this sector.................................

Best of Luck

Hey Satyajeet, don't worry u

Hey Satyajeet, don't worry u have got a good rank. Sir is right and dont worry all the three colleges u mentioned are among the top engineering colleges of Kolkata. Take among them, One advice try mainly EIE at NSEC cause its placement is good and then ECE at NARULA cause their ECE branch is NBA accredited so your degree will be valuable and they have an excellent infrastructure. BP PODDAR too is an awesome college and if you dont get the above two then take up IT there. You will get good placement. Even out side Kolkata u have chances at other top colleges like AEC and BC Roy as well. So good luck and hope you choose the best.

According to previous year

According to previous year closing rank:
EIE, IT & Bio Medical Engg in NSEC
IT in B.P.PODDAR
All branches in Narula except civil engg (last year closing rank: CE 11407)
Biotech, Food Tech, Instrum & Control Engg in HIT Haldia

sir what is ceramic

sir what is ceramic engineering??please tell me about the job prospect in india and please give me some info about that ceramic college.and last question sir is it true that these civil and mechanical engineering will start in heritage college.

Certainly sir will answer

Certainly sir will answer this question,in fact he has already given the reply to another one regarding,i believe,quite a few days earlier.He's much much more xprerienced than me,till i believe being a student of this discipline to enter into 3rd yr,i'll be able to help you a bit in this regard.
ceramics are essentially nonmetallic crystalline compounds,produced under the action of heat or heated & subsequently matured after production;and there walks an engineer!Job prospects are also high,each year every students are placed in reputed companies through campusing,nearly 20-25 ones visit each year,naming a few vizag& jindal steel;tata refrac,vedanta etc,with many of them mncs,(torrecid, st gobain glass,kafeer for xmple).And gcect is constantly offering 100% placement for years!In fact,believe me,i already had a job offer at tata refrac(trl);before my 4th sem exam;as i was amongst toppers;with a nice package.
ceramics consist 3 main branches;refractory(high temp withstanding mat used in steel & other plant);glass;& whiteware(insulators,dinnerware,sanitaryware etc);with plenty of technical & theoritical concept).Basic chemistry & physics knowledge is needed;especially crystallography.after b.tech many of us go for m.tech in materials enngg,another modern stream.U may switch over to US giving gre,many of our seniors are there.
GCECT is located in beleghata kolkata,to get faculty list & other facilities u may go to offical site-www.gcect.ac.in
Hope this little details will help u!

Sir is extremely correct.

Sir is extremely correct. Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering is just starting this year at Heritage and no one can guess their quality right now until their first batch at 2015 graduates. SO DO NOT waste your rank by leaving Haldia which is one of the oldest private colleges in West Bengal and have a Mechanical department for several years and has a good placement in it. For a core subject like Civil its better u chose a seasoned college of this stream. See the Wbjee or college website and then decide the college.

Mech in Heritage is new..

Mech in Heritage is new.. From this year Heritage may be start Mech engg course, but Haldia's Mech dept's placement, faculty is much better.
So u should go for Haldia Mech
