Engineering
"Engineers Make the World" – reads the
bumper sticker on a midsize car driven by a person in his mid twenties.
Needless to say that the owner of this automobile is an Engineer by education
and profession.
Why is Engineering considered to be one of the best career options today? There
are several parts to this answer. Let’s start with the sheer number of
opportunities available engineering graduates today. Irrespective of their
specialization – like Mechanical Engineering or Electrical Engineering,
engineers command a large percentage of the jobs that are available today. What
makes Engineers click? We asked a senior executive of a large business house
that recruits engineers in hundreds every year. The answer – “They know how
think sequentially, in a structured manner”. Of course this answer does take
away the value of the technical content that is taught over a four-year period.
It is just that it is taken for granted.
There are thousands of Engineering Colleges in India. These colleges produce
lakhs of Engineers every year. Just like in any other education discipline, the
quality of education offered in these colleges also ranges through excellent to
average to below par. So it is important for a student aspiring to be an
engineer to ensure that he gets admission into a good college. The process of
selecting the good colleges need not be difficult. The thumb rule is “try to
get admission into those colleges where it is more difficult to get admission
into”. When we say “more difficult”, we mean the difficulty in terms of
competitiveness in a selection process.
Broadly, the Engineering Colleges in India can be classified into three
categories.
1.Colleges / Institutes that enjoy national and international reputation
2.Colleges / Institutes that are primarily know in a region of the country
3.Colleges that are yet to make a mark in the regional level or national level
How does an Engineering College make its mark at a regional level or national
level? Obviously the reputation is created by the quality of work done by the
students who pass out of these institutions.
The Indian Institutes of Technology -occupy the top slots in the first category
of colleges mentioned above. What separates the Indian Institutes of Technology
from the rest of the colleges? Unparalleled training facilities, excellent
faculty and to top it all, the opportunity to have “the best of India” as
classmates. Anybody who cracks IIT-JEE and gets admission into one of the IITs
has perfected his fundamentals and is still willing to work harder.
A study conducted in 2004 found out that 70% of the companies in the Silicon
Valley had Indian Engineers as critical resources – and most of them from IITs.
If you look around you in the corporate world in India too, you can find many
captains of Indian Industry who have honed their skills at these venerable
institutions. Union Minister Jairam Ramesh, ITC Chief Y C Deveshwar, the ex-CEO
of McKinsey Mr. Rajat Guptha have all spent the most important part of the
academic career in the IITs. The life at the IITs has even inspired a
best-seller fiction “Five Point Someone” authored by Chetan Bhagat. Chetan
Bhagat currently works with Duetshe Bank and is himself an alumnus of IIT
Delhi.
Apart from the unparalleled education that one gets at the IIT, there is plenty
of opportunity to get involved in co-curricular activities - activities that
would challenge all faculties of the individual.
Also since the academic environment is very serious and focused, the question
of “what next?” gets addressed early on. Students at IITs decide pretty early
on the different career options – whether it is CAT for the MBA route, GRE for
the MS route or GATE for the M.Tech route. These are the three most sought
after options for further studies. That is if the student is not really keen on
the several job offers he is likely to be made ever before completing his
course.
All in all a four-year stint at the IITs brings about a world of difference in
an individual. Engineers make the world. And Engineers from IITs take a larger
than average share of that credit.
So what is IIT JEE? The IIT-JEE is considered the most challenging engineering
entrance examination in the world. On the combined parameters of the level of
complexity of questions and the number of applicants, the JEE will easily
surpass any other similar examination for getting entry into an engineering
college for a graduate level programme.
The current pattern of JEE consists of two papers of three hours each. Each
paper consists of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics with equal weightage. The
two papers of JEE 2008, conducted on the same day, were broadly similar in
structure, but there were some dissimilarities also. Paper 1 consisted on 22
Questions with 81 marks for each subject. Paper 2 consisted of 23 questions
with 82 marks for each subject. Thus Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics had an
aggregate of 163 marks each in both papers combined. The IITs had earlier
declared the cut-off of each subject as "the minimum mark secured by the top
80% of the students in that subject". With such a condition, the individual
cut-offs had little relevance and the aggregate score of Physics, Chemistry and
Mathematics dictated the AIR of the student.
3, 11,258 students appeared for IIT-JEE in 2008. With the addition of 6 new
IITs, the number of IITs admitting students through the examination in 2008 has
increased to 13. Including the seats at IT-BHU and ISM Dhanbad, the total
available seats are 6752.
In addition to the AIR Merit List, an Extended Merit List was also published
through which admissions into IISER (Mohali, Pune, Kolkata, Bhopal,
Trivandrum), IIST (Trivandrum) and RGIPT and IIMS were also conducted.
