If you are reading this then there
is a 75% possibility that you are one of the victims. Am not an enemy of
Technical Education and I don’t oppose any Engineering Institutions, am just
here to share some facts that prevail today. Engineering have become a fancy
word now-a-days especially in Tamilnadu. Getting seats in an Engineering
institution is 1000 times easier than reserving tickets in Railways. I know it’s
too late to tell you but if you are about to join Engineering courses, just
spend a day and visit the industrial complexes (SIPCOT) in Chennai. You can
visualise group of young Engineers in formal attire holding Certificates in
their hands, visiting the gates of each and every companies returning with
shame and disappointment. Currently there is no vacancy for Engineers in most
of the companies and in some cases if a job opening for Engineer is available,
the companies tend to use Private Job Consultancies so that they could benefit
from it. I am an Engineer and I possess 8.19 CGPA in Engineering. I walked through
almost all the companies of the Industrial complex and I received the same
answer which shocked me. The reply was “Do you have any Recommendation Letter? And
Do you know any person from this company for reference?” . Your Marks and
skills won’t matter anything, all that you need is Recommendation from powerful
persons. And the worst part is Students from Govt. university branches are
ridiculed and they don’t get any recognition even though they possess good
grades. And there is no genuine selection process in many companies, most of
the companies have disabled their careers option from websites. This is the
current situation of the students who chose Engineering. So it is upto you to
take the decision, just take into account the number of young professionals who
will be out of the Engineering colleges
in the next 4 years. Act Smart choose your Career path Wisely. I AM ONE OF THE VICTIMS, DO YOU WANT TO BECOME ONE???????
