Chronicle Engineering Survey 2016


There are several reasons based on which a person takes his career decision. Engineering is one of the foremost choices as career option

for people around the world. There are several driv-ing factors which makes Engineering as a top career choice. Some of them are as below:

Option open for higher educationPeople who choose Engineering as a career op-

tion have a desire to pursue higher education in technical field. Engineering has plethora of options in that regard. People do their bachelor’s course in Engineering which is commonly called B.E or B.Tech. After completion of Bachelor’s education, one can go for the master’s and doctorate degrees commonly referred to as M.Tech and Ph.D. respectively. This helps an individual with a flair of research to create something new for the society and mankind.

Monetary CompensationThis is always one of the top driving factor and

motivator for people in whatever career option they decide on, Engineering being no different. Engineers are generally well paid and they normally earn well vis-à-vis people in many other professions. Therefore money is a big motivator and draws a huge portion of populace towards making Engineering as a career option. Money as everyone knows is one of the key factors which keeps people happy and plays an extremely important role in their well-being. So Engi-neering remains a preferred option and greatly sought after option for people.

Social status or PrestigePeople in technical profession command as good

status or prestige in society. They include people in medical profession, lawyers and engineers. Since

people achieve greater standing in society once they get into Engineering profession, they are generally in-clined towards making Engineering as a career option for them. people feel proud to introduce themself as an engineer to friends, relatives and society at large. Same goes with parents and well-wishers, who take lot of pride engineering as profession.

Flexibility These days, everybody is looking for a flex-

ibility. Engineering as a career is very flexible. You can choose one of the core Engineering streams as your preferred stream in case the general machinery, power plants, bridges and constructions is of interest to you. You also have the option to work in Elec-tronics, computers, software development streams in case the core Engineering fields do not excite you. In addition to this there are several different new fields like Bio-Technology, Polymer Science, and Aerospace etc. which challenge an individual. In brief there is enough flexibility to decide your Engineering streams and subsequent career decisions once you have an En-gineering degree in hand. It has been seen in the last decade or so that people with degrees in any branch of Engineering can very easily shift to make software engineering as a career option for them. Engineering degrees also open up a road to flexible education choice. After completing your engineering degree an individual can do MBA and easily shift in marketing or financial fields. Some people are not interested in corporate jobs, they can opt for teaching as their ca-

Chronicle Engineering Survey 2016reer after their education. Hence engineering is a great choice that opens a floodgate of options for people.

Intellectual developmentEngineering will help you grow and develop

your own way of thinking. An engineer is always trained to work on the root cause of the problems. With so much of practical training and technical learning during course & curriculum, he or she tends to think with a technical flair to find out a solution for problems. Besides helping you in grow-ing technically, it challenges your intellect on day to day basis. This experience is very rewarding as it helps people to develop and sharpen their intellec-tual quotient and skills constantly.

EntrepreneurshipEngineers are among the best entrepreneurs in

the world. Engineering degree and training provides you with the knowledge and skills to start your en-trepreneurial journey. Engineering training and works exposes you to core businesses and also help you to get familiar with things like finance, marketing and sales to some extent. An Engineering training coupled by working knowledge in some of the other fields stated above makes a person perfect to launch himself in world of business. The skills gained while working as an Engineer makes a person fit and trained in a big way to run his own business. Sta-tistically it has been seen that money the big busi-nesses of the world have been built by persons with an Engineering background.

CreativityHumans are creative by nature. However at

times people land up in professions and jobs which are very mundane, repetitive and monotonous. How-ever this is seldom the case with engineering profes-sion. Most of the engineering jobs challenge you on a day to day basis and take out the best in you as far as creativity is concerned. Be it design of an arch or building or a power plant or for that matter a software system, you have to be constantly creative

to excel and cre-ate something that is liked by your customers or end users. In summary engineering jobs lets you exercise your knowledge and harness your creativity in a big way. You’ll need

to be creative to come up with solutions to fascinat-ing problems and you’ll be able to use both con-crete knowledge and your own thoughts and views when coming up with a successful original design or development. Engineering is an art of science.

ChallengesEveryone likes a good challenge, since life

would be boring otherwise. Engineering is a chal-lenge. Throughout your college and later in your career, you will be faced with problems which will require your creativity and logical analytic skills to find a solution while pursuing Engineering problem. All these will challenge your grey cells. Finding suc-cessful solutions to such challenges gives you an im-mense sense of fulfilment.

DiscoveryAn engineering education will help you discover

how the world works. You may be dealing with recent popular items like electric cars, alternative energy sources, nuclear reactors and many more. En-ergy as a whole is a fascinating area in which a lot of research and technical work is underway. Earlier the main source of energy was fossil fuels. For fossil fuels, power plants use coal, fuel oil or natural gas. Since all these sources of energy are non-renewable sources and hence cannot last forever, therefore an alternative source of energy is needed. Solar power plants, wind mills, hydropower plants are the alter-native source of energy that engineers are working in this age to make them a viable commercial op-tion. These alternative energy sources do not pollute or do not create leftover materials that are harmful to people and the environment as much as fossil fuels (oil, coal, natural gas). Besides energy another engineering challenge to the modern world is pro-tection of environment and developing solutions to save the earth. There are hundreds and thousands of environmental engineers working to find solution to this massive problem staring the survival of mankind.

Chance to explore the worldA major perk of engineering is that you get a

chance to explore the world. Given the wide range of opportunities worldwide, an engineer gets a good opportunity to work in various companies on site project. You can get to work on sites, mines, pe-troleum wells across the nations, develop infrastruc-tures of cities, work in areas of space engineering, defence etc. Since opportunities for an Engineer are wide ranging and immense that besides fulfilling his or her career ambitions it gives you a chance to visit different locations and explore the world. nn



"Civil Services Chronicle” is presenting the most comprehensive “All India Engineering Colleges Survey -2016”. This survey is of great importance for the aspirants who seek complete information and do thorough research before taking admission in Engineering Colleges. To measure the progress of our participants, we have relied on distinctly designed parameters. The survey findings are completely based on the data submitted by the respective colleges and data obtained from various sources on perceptual view. However, students are required to personally visit the institute & seek information regarding the institutes before taking admission. This is the 5th All India Engineering Colleges Survey being published by Civil Services Chronicle.

MethodologyThe survey was conducted by Chronicle Research Team in three phases in 16 states covering 32 cities:

Delhi, Dhanbad, Pune, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bhilai, Noida, Gurgaon, Tumkur, Mohali, Coimbatore, Chennai, Gandipet, Raipur, Manesar, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Erode, Salem, Guntur, Vijaywada, Bhalki, Managalore, Patiala, Moradabad, Meerut, Vadodara, Ambala, Bhubaneshwar, Udaipur, Lucknow & Nellore.

ENGINEERING COLLEGES Survey 2016



Factual Information CollectionFactual Information was collected in the month of

March and April 2016 through designed questionnaire by the Chronicle Research Team which was sent to 710 Engineering Colleges present all over India. A dedicated web link was provided on the website www.chronicleindia.in so that the questionnaire can also be downloaded by the Engineering Colleges from the provided interface. Online advertisements were also published for the Engineering Colleges to participate in the survey.

Responses were sought by several reminders, phone calls and emails. Within the stipulated time, 56 colleges responded with their information, out of which 50 were considered to be used for ratings as 5 colleges either did not meet the eligibility criteria set by the Research Team viz institutes which are fully functional for more than 3 years or lack of complete information & the supporting documents

were not send by the colleges.

However, some of the prominent institutes like the IITs and NITs did not participate in our survey inspite of several reminders. They insisted us to take data from their websites but the data was insufficient for complete research, so they were not included in the survey.

Validation of Data through physical survey

The Research Team of Chronicle visited various participating institutes. The team took a perceptual view from the directors, faculty members, cur-rent students, academicians, aspiring students and recruiters. The data sub-mitted by the institutes was validated thoroughly by the research team. Differ-ent parameters were critically analysed and perceptual rating was given to the participating institutes by the research team on the findings of physical survey.

Calculation of score & final rating

Finally, in the third phase, an exhaustive scrutiny of gathered information was conducted with the help of rationalized research tools to arrive at the parameter as well as overall rankings.

While scrutinizing the data, important aspects like quality of students, curriculum, intellectual capital of faculty, infrastructure (library, recreational rooms, can-teens, entertainment, hostels, faculty, accommodation and wellness), placement record and industry inter-action were taken into consideration. Consequently, and logically too, post this exercise, the marks were then calculated using the weightage decided by the specialist panel for all parameters and sub-parameters.

As per the score allotted to each institute, the colleges were categorized by giving different rat-ings – A+++, A++, A+, A, B++ and B+. The placement data was analysed critically. Also the average package offered by different streams of companies is represented graphically. nn

At the post graduate level students have a wide range of career options from which they can choose their most suitable one. The major op-

tions are enlisted as given hereunder:

Campus PlacementGetting placed in a reputed company that visits

one’s particular campus is a good option. When an individual has no intention of further studies immedi-ately after B. Tech then opting for a job could be the right choice.

M.TechPursuing M.Tech in the field of their expertise

is another option. Students need to prepare well for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) a na-tional exam that fetches admission into IITs, IISC or NITs and many others.

MBAIf one wants to

make a career in the management sector, hold man-agerial positions, then MBA is the right choice. Fields like HR, Market-ing, Sales and the

new growing domains like Digital Marketing, Interna-tional Relations etc. are the specializations available in MBA. In India various entrance examinations such as CAT (Common Admission Test) help in getting admis-sion for an MBA at the IIMs and many other leading institutes. Some other entrance exams are XAT (Xa-viers), NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, TISS, IRMA etc.

Civil ServicesIt is one of the toughest exams. There is heavy

competition for civil services. Not only written exam

but aspirants have to clear an interview, it judges eve-rything what one can think of and what one stands for.

Short Term CoursesThere are various short term courses and diploma

courses one can opt for after your B.Tech. It can be a certificate course in embedded technology, VLSI, robotics, ethical hacking, protocol testing, machine-designing etc. or a diploma course in any specific domain. Such courses are generally job oriented and serve as a bridge between what one knows and what the industry expects one to know.

Entrepreneurship-Start your ventureStarting something of one’s own is a great option.

Starting one’s own venture and making it succeed would be the toughest of all the things one can do. Challenges and immense learning help in succeeding as an entrepreneur.

Go AbroadIt is also a very good option to explore. By

studying abroad one will get a lot of exposure and learning along with education. One can get various scholarships which will fund one’s education partially or completely.

Join the Army

Joining the Army/Navy/Air Force or any other wing of the defense services can be exciting and high pay-ing at the same time. For this students need to prepare well for the CDS. AFCAT examination. nnn

From the realisation that science, technol-ogy and engineering are the keys to build a modern and developed India, has the

idea of development of primier institutions in Engineering and Technology hatched in the minds of Indian policy makers.Though the first Indian Institute of Technology was estab-lished in the year 1950 in Kharagapur as per the recommendations of Sh. N.M.Sircar, then member of Education on Vicerory’s Executive Council, committee report with an idea of nurturing engineers for the nation, but as time passed new competitive exams were formu-lated to recruit elligible candidates to strategic engineering jobs in the Union government, PSUs, Railways etc. Even when big companies and corporations giving dream package to our students passing out of our premier institutes as well as from engineering institues in our country, the glamour and attractiveness of an engineering job in the public sector has not dimnished. In this article, some of the premier exams for engineering graduates will be discussed, so as to create awareness about these exams.

When you make a thought of competitive exams for engineering graduates in the country, the first one that comes to the mind of an informed person is the Indian engineering services exam. Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) conducts the Engineering Services Exam or ESE 2016 is an entrance exam for graduates who wish to work under the Government of India's engineering organizations, such as Indian Railway Service of Engineers (IRSE), Central Engineering Service (CES), Military Engineering Services (MES), etc. . The examina-

VARIOUS ENGINEERINGCompetitions Like Engineering Services, SCRA, PSU's


Chronicle Engineering Survey 2016tion consists of a written examina-tion followed by an interview for personality test. The written exam comprises of 2 sections. Section I consists of only objective type questions and section II comprises conventional papers. Both the pa-pers cover entire syllabus of the rel-evant engineering disciplines. If you qualify the written examination, personality test of 200 marks is con-ducted. The candidate needs to be between 21 years to 30 years as on 1st January of the exam year. The candidate must have passed in the first or second division, the Interme-diate or an equivalent examination of a university or Board approved by the Government of India with Mathematics and at least one of the subjects Physics and Chemistry as subjects. The candidate should be between 17 to 21 years of age as on 1st January of the exam year. Upper age limit is relaxable for 5 years for SC/ST and 3 years for OBC. The se-lected candidate has to undergo a 4 year rigorous training in mechanical engineering for which it has memo-randum of understanding with BITs, Mesra, Ranchi. On successful com-pletion of the course candidates are awared Bachelors Degree in Engineering which is recognised by the All India Council of Techni-cal Education? Also, on successful completion of the course will be inducted in the Indian Railways as Indian Railway Services of Me-chanical Engineers(IRSME) officers.

Graduate Aptitude Test in En-gineering (GATE) is an all India examination that primarily tests the comprehensive understanding of the candidate in various under-graduate subjects in Engineering/Technology/Architecture and post-graduate level subjects in Science. The GATE score of a candidate

reflects a relative performance level in a particular subject in the exam across several years. The score is used for admissions to post-gradu-ate programs (e.g., M.E., M.Tech, direct Ph.D.) in Indian institutes of higher education with financial assistance provided by MHRD and other Government agencies. The score may also be used by Public and Private Sector Undertakings for employment screening purposes.Employment Several public sec-tor undertaking have, in the past, used GATE scores for screening for providing a salaried employment. A select few such organizations are: Indian Oil Corporation Limited, Na-tional Thermal Power Corporation, Power Grid India, etc. The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kan-pur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roor-kee) jointly administer the conduct of GATE. The operations related to GATE in each of the 8 zones are managed by a zonal GATE Office at the IITs or IISc. The Organizing Institute (OI) is responsible for the end-to-end process and coordina-tion amongst the administering In-stitutes. The Organizing Institute for GATE 2016 was IISc Banglore. The GATE 2016 examination consists of a single paper of 3-hour duration that contains 65 questions carry-ing a maximum of 100 marks. The question paper will consist of both multiple choice questions (MCQ) and numerical answer type ques-tions.. The gate exam can be given in any of the 23 streams of engi-neering giving candidates from a variety of backgrounds in engineer-ing a level playing field to prove their excellence.Bachelor's degree holders in Engineering/ Technol-ogy (4 years after 10+2 or 3 years

after B.Sc/ Diploma in Engineering/Technology) and those who are in the final year of such programs are elligible to appear in GATE.

Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) like IOCL, NTPC, BHEL, Coal India, Power Grid, SAIl, GAIL, HAL etc are one of the most sought after companies in India. Attractive pay scale, high cadre, quality of work, job security are some of the factors that make a PSU job almost irresist-ible. Hence, there are a lot of stu-dents and working professionals who eagerly wait for PSU job notifications every year. For engineers, these PSUs come up with recruitment notifica-tions every year, for the posts of Ex-ceutive Trainees/ Graduate Trainees/ Management Trainees etc. As a part of the selection process, each PSU used to have its own selection exam comprising of subject questions and aptitude. With the introduction of Aptitude in GATE from 2010, the syl-labus as well as the target audience for PSU exams have become almost similar to GATE. Hence, the PSUs are slowly phasing away their selec-tion exams, and substituting it with GATE score as the merit criterion. Once the merit list is obtained either from GATE score or written exam of the respective PSU, the personality test of the shortlisted candidates are conducted to arrive at a merit list based on marks of both the stages taken in to account.

Engineering competitive exams demand deep knowledge of the subject and domain expertise from the candidate, which is difficult to attain without rigorous and targeted study. More important in attaining the attributes to clear the exam is to give amble importance to the grad-uation studies and to attend quality coaching classes as the competition demands the same. nn



Engineering Jobs are Profoundly LucrativeEngineering jobs are in the blooming zone-lucra-

tive and well paid. If we turn to “Pay Scale” arguably, world’s largest compensation data base, we find that engineering jobs have a decidedly cut over the rest in the compensation. In fact, Engineering degrees cur-rently make up 10 of the top 17 highest paid degrees globally. Thanks to the technical boom, the past two decades have witnessed, a huge surge in the engi-neering jobs particularly, in the field of Information Technology and Computer Science. This has led to the corresponding increase in students seeking engineering graduation, post graduation and doctorate, globally. The demand however continues to outstrip supply. Because the demand is high, the compensation of qualified, skilled and experienced engineering is corre-spondingly higher than other most of other professions.

This however doesn’t mean that every engineering graduate would find a job and a good pay package.

The graduates are ought to be employable. The fact that that a large number of young graduate engineers in India are not able to find jobs is a matter which in itself needs exclusive handling by the education insti-tutes from primary education to secondary education and then ultimately the higher education.

A large number of new fields and areas of work and businesses have emerged in the recent years. Some of these areas have become hugely lucra-tive. It opens up new dis-ciplines of s p e c i a l i z a -tions. Engi-neers there-fore must seek areas of their speciali-zation and apply where the expansions and growth is high and the com-pensation is further more lucrative. For example the areas of petroleum engineering in the field of new oil exploration, software engineering in ever evolving computer technology, power engineering in the field of alternative energy, smart grids is calling the shot. The compensation is phenomenal. nn

The most important question which be-wilders every student and parent while

deciding future career in engineering after school is -

n Which Branch?n Which College?

Engineering is the most hunted after class of 12th in India. Any student from 12th standard with mathematics is eligible to take admission in engineering. Diploma candidate can also take admission in B.Tech 2nd year as lateral entry. However, there is a rigorous selection procedure at place for computer engineers wherein admission to the B.E/ B.Tech courses is extremely competitive. Students who are passionate about technology and machines can become an engineer by cracking one of the engineering entrance exams. Some significant engineering entrance exam in India are AIEEE, IIT-JEE, UPTU, RTU, JKLU-EET etc. Students may opt for M.E/ M. Tech in Computer Science for further specialization in Computer Science.

There are many different branches of engineer-ing. The main branches of engineering are Computer Systems, Information Technology, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

Computer systems engineering is based upon electrical engineering and computer science. It is con-cerned with the analysis, design and development of computer systems, inclusive of computer hardware and software. Industries such as telecommunications and process control interface computers with communica-tions channels, sensors, actuators and other devices. Electronic design makes broad use of computer aided

simulation and design for modules and complex elec-tronic systems. Computer systems engineers may work in the private sector with computer manufacturing and service companies, business consulting firms, the information systems division of companies and a wide range of government activities.

Software engineering is a relatively new discipline and is an outgrowth of computer systems engineering and computer science. It involves the application of a systematic, disciplined and quantifiable approach to the development, operation and maintenance of soft-ware. It draws on the experience of other fields of engi-neering to build quality and reliability into increasingly large and complex software systems used to operate and control many aspects of our daily lives. Software engineers are increasingly being sought by both private and government sector employers involved with the development and ongoing implementation of major software tasks.

Booming IT sector in India has plenty of jobs for fresh computer science graduates. Candidates from top engineering Universities and colleges Like JK Lak-shmipat University get attractive job offers from MNC IT companies. A person having B.Tech in computer science & engineering or information technology can

Introduction

A career for any individual is an initiative towards attainment of a profession which not only helps to earn his bread and butter

but also gives a phenomenal sense of satisfaction in the achieved position and responsibilities. This is the differ-ence between planning for a job which takes care of only the immediate necessities and looking for a career which provides sustainable growth. The options and opportunities for planning a career are plenty but the people should have the right kind of inputs at the right time in their lives to think and plan their career. The advancement in technology particularly, the information technology has made the entire world a global village and enormous amount of information are available to go through, to ponder, to discuss and to decide. The availability of vast information is itself likely to be an over dosage and hence may lead to confused thoughts while attempting to take a decision. In my opinion as an academician teaching engineering for the last three decades taking the right inputs from the right people in the age group of 12 to 16 is extremely vital and crucial. I feel so because this is the age group during which the influence of the external parameters are quite high on the individuals and hence during this period a very right exposure is required. In order to enable this, all the stakeholders of the school education system should be actively involved namely the students, the parents and the teachers. I also firmly believe that the school teachers play a very key role in identifying the potential of their students, bringing out their talents and motivating them to take the right decision in pursuing the higher education.

Engineering and technology is one of the much sought after options as a career. It is basically the ap-plication of mathematics, science and technology for problem solving. About four decades ago the options and opportunities for engineering and technology was not at this level. It was basically felt that it is meant

for the upper middle class of the society. During the last two decades there has been a paradigm shift in the outlook of education in engineer-ing and technology. The Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India is focusing on improving the Gross Enrolment

Ratio(GER) in higher education and also in engineering and technology. This has resulted in establishment of more number of engineering institutions both by the Government and also as self financed institutions with the approval of the apex bodies but no financial sup-port from either the central government or the state governments.

The Government of India in order to enhance the number of engineering graduates has taken special steps to establish National Institute of Technologies(NITs) and IIT’s in different states of country. It is appropriate here to mention that 10 NITs have been established during the last five years in different states. These statistics also shows that these NITs have also been established in places where there is tremendous need to spread quality education in engineering and technology. Some of these NITs which are established in 2010 are in Manipur, Mizoram, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh. The six IITs started are located in places -Palakkad, Trupati, Chattisgarh, Goa, Jammu and Dharwad. This reiterates the focus of the Ministry of Human Resource Development in improving the Gross Enrolment Ratio in higher education in general and in particular in engineering and technology. As per the recent statistics from by AICTE website, there are 6432 institutions( inclusive of government, aided, unaided, central universities, deemed universities) offering engineering and technology courses with the total seats close to 30 lakh seats per annum. A good career in engineering and technology open up phenomenal potential in different domains. The engineering

As a Career Option


Chronicle Engineering Survey 2016graduates can choose to be employed, immediately upon graduation they can choose to continue their education or they can become entrepreneurs as job creators, providing opportunities for number of professionals. Let us have a detailed look at all these options and opportunities for the fresh graduates.

Employment on Graduation

The Information Technology sector has seen a tremendous growth during the last three decades in our country. The competence level, problem solving skills and analytical ability of our fresh engineering graduates open up opportunities for them in the ma-jor information technology organizations as software engineers. These positions are open to the engineers and all the branches be it mechanical, aeronautical, computer science and electrical communication. All the information technology organizations require engineering graduates with different specializa-tions to work on the projects of different areas like – aerospace design, fluid dy-namics, network security, embed-ded program-ming, Internet of Things , banking application and various other domain specific ap-plications. These requirements have been increasing year on year and the total hiring in India by the top five information technology organizations.

In the present context of engineering applications the demarcation between the different branches of study in engineering and technology is vanishing and industries look for and prefer candidates who could solve their engineering problems with a mul-tidisciplinary approach.

The engineering graduates who qualify with Gradu-ates Aptitude Test in Engineering are also eligible to join Public Sector Undertakings as graduate Engineer Trainee and then grow up the ladder. The engineering students should develop themselves with an industry orientation exposing to the best engineering practices taking up industry training and internships. Such en-gineers would get ample opportunities for sustained

professional growth.

Higher Education

Engineering graduates have exceptionally good op-portunities to pursue their postgraduate programmes and research. The students with this desire may start preparing right from the second year of their study to identify their area of interest, the institution where they would like to pursue their higher education and appear for the screening tests according to their desire. These students in my opinion should focus even in their internship and project work towards research so that they are able to qualify themselves better towards their goal.

Engineers as EntrepreneursOur country requires job creators rather than job

seekers. This is in alignment with the vision of the Honorable Prime Minister of India “Make in India”. This would promote innovative products which would support improving the quality of life, focusing on better consideration for human life and encouraging innova-tion. The Government of India is very keen to nurture innovative ideas and have started a lot of initiatives like -The Gandhiyan Young Technological Innovation Award(GYTI).The Startup India, Standup India initia-tive by the Government has gained moment number of research parks and industrial estates promoted and supported by the Government. The Ministry of Sci-ence and Technology, The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises all support incubation facili-ties in the engineering institutions in addition to the establishment of entrepreneurship development centers which help producing entrepreneurs. The Confederation of Indian Industry in different states and regions also encourage the entrepreneurs in all possible initiatives so that they are able to achieve their goals. From the academic institutions also a trend of fresh graduates preferring to join the startup companies is observed and is a welcome sign from fresh graduates.

Conclusion

Technology is deployed in finding solutions to complex real life problems. Those with potential and the right attitude with willingness to learn and do innovative things will have plethora of opportunities knocking at the door. nn
