What are we trying
to develop? A white collar ” worker”?
Currently there
are so many engineering colleges that people have started joking on the situation.
Some of the
colleges are not getting students to fill the vacant seats no matter how much
low criteria they are keeping.
The increase in
number of colleges created an competition in colleges not in terms of Quality
of education but they have started a Rat Race. The Race of placement, they want
to show that most of the students are getting hired and we are developing them to
be “Industry Compatible”. For getting
placement they have started conducting various activities like “Aptitude
Training”. Does anyone know why IT industry started taking “Aptitude Test”? You
will know only when you enters into the industry. People (not real software engineers)
say that you come from any background, you can become Software Engineer. Is
that true? Can 4 years of engineering course be replaced with 4 months testing class?
How many engineers in Indian IT industry are “designing” the software system? I
have coated “designing” not coding the ready-made design, nor testing not just
maintaining? What we want to achieve? Will that help us in our vision 2020? Or we
will be just coders and testers and managing and supporting other countries?
Unfortunately,
education system has became just a business, everybody is trying to show that
they are doing good for the students but at the bottom of the heart, they know
they are just spoiling it. Everybody is safe keeping themselves in safe
position.
So what is the
remedy? Can we change the system just in a day? The answer is “No”.
Experienced
engineers should come forward to tell these students that how industry works and
what they (students) need to do to become a REAL ENGINEER.
I have already
started it. When are you going to start?
