Technical Education Needs
Better Industry Exposure
HISTORY tells us of the very advanced levels of engineering practices practiced in ancient India.
Many of the existing monuments are testimony to the high level of precision technology, material
management and skilled engineering feats of that time. However formal Engineering education in
India started during the British era and focused mainly on the civil stream. After independence and
given the varying needs of a developing country expertise was acquired and practiced in other areas
of engineering also and today India is universally accepted as the leader in the field of Information
Technology!
The Indian economy is growing at an average rate of between 8-9 per cent annually and this
growth can be sustained with a corresponding growth in business and industry which will need more
and more trained business and technology professionals. Thus success of technical education will
therefore be one of the critical factors to achieve and sustain this growth.
The present status of higher education in the technical stream is both encouraging as well as
challenging, for while India today boasts of more than 3000 engineering institutes catering to approx.
7-8 lakhs students every year, many industry surveys reveal that only 25 per cent of engineering
graduates are employable. Yet another study of potential employers is even more discouraging as it
concludes that only a handful of Indian Engineering Institutes have the faculty, the infrastructure and
the curriculum to provide education on par with the recognized institutes of the west. The problem
stems from the humungous demand for technical education which represents a business opportunity
for those with in “the business of education”. These non-academic entrepreneurs set up dubious
engineering schools with inadequate infrastructure, a very high student to faculty ratio, skeletal
libraries laboratories, and expensive fees. While the objective of a good school should be to collect,
collate and disseminate information to students so that they learn, the mission in these highway
education shops is only profiteering.
However their reign will be short lived as the Foreign Educational Institutions Bill which is pending
in Parliament envisages the entry of reputed foreign engineering schools to India. Some foreign
institutes have already entered the huge Indian market by engaging in tie-ups with selected Indian
institutes. This is a welcome development that augurs well for the future of standard and acceptable
technical education in India.
In the meantime to protect the gullible students from applying or seeking admission to schools of
dubious repute, we have undertaken this survey to identify and list engineering institutes that have the
infrastructure, the faculty and the curriculum to offer standard technical education. This publication
on the Best Engineering Institutes of India, lists more than 180 schools with complete details of the
Institute, including programmes offered, financial assistance available, industry exposure, placement
details of graduating students and (wherever available) detailed profile of the Directors / Principals
who run these institutions.
The Dalal Street Group’s “Best Engineering Institutes of India” carries lead articles from experts
of the engineering academia, full features on some of the institutes and a section on the various
education loans schemes offered by different banks. The institutes are listed region-wise to facilitate
an easier reference. We hope this resource guide helps aspiring students to make an informed and
educated choice in the selection of their institute.

Emphasis In Enhancing
Employability Is Required
The government policy should be geared to promote quality educational
institutions with good students input, quality faculty and matching infrastructure. The education system must be geared to impart necessary
knowledge and skills to produce employable graduates, better entrepreneurs and leaders
Prof. (Dr) Damodar Acharya
Director, IIT Kharagpur
Your comments on present Indian
technical education and its future.
Indian technical education system seems
to be focusing at degree level on the quantity than the quality. Vocational, ITI and Diploma level education with focus on skill
and direct employment is less. Degree level
education with practically no focus on skill
and competence building helps to produce
unemployable graduates. Necessary inputs including good quality of students,
faculty and supporting infrastructure are in
short supply. Non-availability of high quality institution contributes to the mad rush
for degree level engineering education, a
typical Indian phenomenon. Degree level
technical education is being considered as
a substitute to good general education.

What policy changes from the government are required to promote the
higher education in India?
The government policy should be geared
to promote quality educational institutions
with good students input, quality faculty
and matching infrastructure. The education
system must be geared to impart necessary knowledge and skills to produce employable graduates, better entrepreneurs
and leaders. Quality input of students can
only be ensured by improving the quality of
education at school level. Abolition of Joint
Entrance Examinations for admission will
bring the students from coaching classes
to the schools. School performance should
be given due importance for admission to
higher education system. The concept of
having several colleges under an affiliating
university should go. An Institution/ College should be given freedom to have its
own curriculum, examination and evaluation systems. It should be empowered to
give degree. The quality of the institutions
and the programme they offer has to be,
however, supported by a very strong accreditation system that works. The mad
rush to degree level education can only be
controlled through a good vocational and
technical education system. The same has
to be supported by a National Qualification
Framework that provides both horizontal
and vertical mobility from education to
work and from work to education. Community Colleges should provide bridge
courses.
EXPERT View
What is the importance of diversified technical courses in new order
employment scenario?
The vocational education system in India
is designed and offered through ITIs and
Diploma level institutions typically suiting
to the needs of old economy manufacturing sector. With globalization, automation
and the needs to be globally competitive in
terms of cost and performance, the direct
employment in manufacturing is reducing.
However, the new economy has opened
enormous scope for technically qualified
and skilled people. There is a need to diversify vocational and technical courses
with system of evaluation and certification in place. Developed world have more
than 2500 certified vocational courses as
against less than 200 in India. This will
open up the employment opportunity and
give enormous demographic dividend to
young Indian workforce. To encourage
students to enter into vocational education,
career growth opportunities have to be
provided through a National Qualification
Framework.
Why the students find it difficult to
get employment after completing the
education and have to go after additional qualifications?
Currently the education system does not
provide enough scope for skill and competence building. The system is archaic
focusing on performance in examinations
and marks. The education gives hardly
any emphasis in enhancing employability.
Therefore, the students are forced to acquire additional qualification or go through
finishing schools.
How can we bridge the gap between
college education and industry
expectations?
Colleges cannot produce immediately
employable graduates to diversified and
specific industries. However, colleges can
produce graduates with strong foundation
in analytical and problem solving skills,
who can with little training adopt themselves to the needs of specific industries.
They can also easily equip themselves to
move high up in their career with additional
and continuing education. Industry should
understand the limitation of education system that produces graduates in large number. The institution at the same time must
make sure that they produce graduates with
sound fundamentals and high learnability
skills.
How industry can contribute better in
designing curriculums?
Curriculum is really not the limitation of
the existing technical education system.
The limitation is its proper delivery. The industry can best contribute to provide practical inputs to the curriculum. They should
facilitate practical students’ projects and
their skill building. Covering or not covering a topic in the curriculum will not make
appreciable difference so long as the foundation is strong.
What kind of message you want to
convey to the students regarding
getting required skills during their
study?
The students must make all attempts to
build a strong foundation and analytical
skills. Only a sound knowledge and skill
will give them the necessary confidence. A
student must make sure that he/she develops a good communication skill and becomes a good team worker. He/she should
focus in learning how to learn rather than
what he/she has learnt.
What is the contribution of your
Institute in the field of technical
education?
Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, the first among the chain of IITs has
pioneered the current technical education
system in the country. It has changed the
focus from standard based learning to Science based engineering education with
focus on analysis and problem solving. It
has also pioneered Masters and Ph.D level
education in engineering. Out of more than
45,000 graduates that the Institute has produced so far, about 55 per cent of them are
Postgraduates and Ph.D Degree holders.
Its graduates have taken pioneering roles
in India and abroad in education, research
and industry. They have formed the backbone of Indian R&D and Industry.

EDUCATION Loan
Education Loan

tudents perusing Higher Education now don’t have to struggle
hard anymore to finance their
Studies as now many Banks in
India have are providing student loans.
Not only loans, private foreign banks also
seem to be interested in funding students,
enthusiastic enough to announce scholarships for bright and deserving students.
With expensive professional education becoming mandatory for people
across the country, a student loan seems
the most effective way to tide over these
expenses. Most students expect to land
high salaries at the end of their professional training and are likely to be in a position to repay these loans over a period
of time.
S
Favourite Professional Courses for
Banks
Management, Technology and Medical students from the country’s premier
institutions are in the banks’ favourite list
as the students of these disciplines can
get student loans from Banks easily.
Banks don’t provide loans for students
with a bachelor’s/master’s in Arts. Also,
for courses where employment prospects
are less (as per Bank’s own evaluation),
loans are sanctioned on the basis of the
parents’ income.
Deciding Loan Amount
Loan for Studies in India Most of the
Public Sector Banks in India have categorized Student Loans in two categories. For
Studies in India, Students can borrow up
to Rs 4 lakh without providing any security
or margin. A loan amount of Rs 4 lakhs
to Rs 7.5 lakh can be availed against a
parents’ gurantee and collateral. Any loan
above Rs 7.5 lakh requires third party
guarantee. The third-party guarantee can
come from an uncle, neighbor or friend
standing guarantee for the full amount.
Overseas study loans: Amounts up
to Rs 20 lakh can be availed for overseas
studies and such loans are usually sanctioned against fixed deposits, NSC certificates, property worth the loan amount.
Also, if a loan below Rs 4 lakhs comes at x
rate of interest, the loan over Rs 4 lakhs is
78
India is fast emerging as World Economic
Power. The country needs a very large pool of
highly educated technocrats and managers with
technical skills to compete with the developed
economies. The Government and the Banks are
helping students not to miss the opportunities
available to them in lack of finance. They have
come forward to assist the talents and making
them accountable for the country’s growth.
usually charged one percent higher interest. The Reserve Bank of India prescribes
the specifics (amount, rate, repayment
period) of education loans and the government provides a two per cent subsidy
on these loans to the banks.
Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) has
formed a working group to address the
issue of student loans and the rising rate
of default. The group has submitted its
findings to the Reserve Bank of India and
the main suggestion is to make it mandatory for parents or guardians, of the student borrowing loans, to be co-borrowers
thereby making them liable for repayment.
Process of repayment of the loan
Repayment process generally starts
minimum six and maximum 12 months
after the completion of the course period
or 6 months after getting job, whichever
happens earlier.
Documents required for applying a
Education Loan
All students are required to submit
mark sheets of last qualifying examination,
proof of admission scholarship, schedule
of expenses for the specified course, his/
her bank account statement for the last
six months, an income tax assessment
order for the previous two years, a brief
statement of assets and liabilities, of the
co-borrower, which is usually the parent
or guardian and proof of income, if any.
Some banks require all or any of the
following documents as pre sanction
documents:
To furnish the following documents
along with the completed application
form. Relevant information would relate to
the guardian and the student both, when
the loan is jointly taken.
• Mark sheet of last qualifying examination for school and graduate studies in
India
• Proof of admission to the course
• Schedule of expenses for the course
• Copies of letter confirming scholarship, etc.
• Copies of foreign exchange permit, if
applicable.
• 2 passport size photographs
• Statement of Bank account for the last
six months of borrower.
• Income tax assessment order not
more than 2 years old
• Brief statement of assets and liabilities
of borrower.
• If you are not an existing bank
customer you would also need to
establish your identity and give proof
of residence.
Interest rate charged for Student/education loan
Most banks are vying with each other
to aggressively market personal loans.
The student loan segment is being viewed
as vast untapped potential. Citibank and
ICICI Bank are offering equally competitive schemes. Almost every prominent
bank in the country has a student loan
scheme in some form. What matters the
most to an individual is obviously the cost
of credit the terms and conditions for education loans. These, like any other loan,
vary among banks. Besides pricing of
the product, the most important thing is
documentation requirement and the quality of service offered by the bank and the
speed at which the loan is approved.
Some banks, such as SBI, also give
you a choice between fixed and floating
interest rate. Whereas, private and foreign
banks offer loans with a fixed interest rate,
some banks charge interest on a daily or
monthly reducing balance.
