Engineering Education in India
Globalization of economic activities, and
mobility of professionals across national
borders and emergence of a knowledge
society are putting new insights on the
competency requirement of engineers, their
role in the emerging international scenario
and their ability to work harmoniously and
effectively in multi-disciplinary and multicultural teams.
Engineering Education in India
Globalization is radically changing the way national
economies around the world design, produce,
distribute and consume goods and services.
Engineers are in the midst of this dynamic
development. They need to work in teams and on
projects with members from different nations and
continents. They need to be internationally mobile,
whether physically or virtually to respond to the
growing international concern about the preparation
of engineering workforce in future.
Engineering Education in India
India has emerged as a major player in the world in
the field of engineering education and Indian
engineers have contributed significantly to the
economic and technological development of many
foreign lands not only in the information technology
sector but also in general engineering services and in
hi-tech research and development in solid-state
electronics, communications and embedded
systems.
Engineering Education in India
• Today more than 2300 engineering institutions in
India are turning out more than 6,00,000
engineers every year. Indian engineering
education represents one of the largest
educational systems in the world.
• The IITs have been in the forefront of engineering
education in India, followed by NITs and many
other centrally funded Institutes in furthering the
reach of engineering education.
