Indian tech education loosing its shine: Why is this happening?

The Indian schools can be very narrow and technical in it's engineering. Foreign schools give you a broad experience with your engineering degree. The cultural experience which one gets in abroad is very useful, it's expensive but it's worth it.

Which University in India will allow a 15 years back dropout to continue his/ her education from that semester? Majority of the western universities allow their dropouts to complete their education through correspondence. Such flexibilities, Intellectual climate, lifestyle, opportunities, free society etc continue to be the driving force behind getting an American education. Some of these students who returned to India after graduation were successful in tapping the unprecedented opportunities that exist in the country and made out a very successful career here.

This is one of the main reasons why companies find many fresh graduates unemployable. Many engg graduates have absolutely no idea of the industrial standards, work practices, etc. The link between theoretical & practical knowledge is also mostly missing. Partly this is due to the engg curriculum & mostly due to the way in which engg is taught i.e. concepts are simply taught, without proper linkage to the real-world applications of these concepts.

Our technical education is loosing it's shine due to lack of practical approach.

& also students are studying there only for getting good jobs & only few of them are really interested to do career in research activities.

& this is mainly happened due to ill-logical study pattern & examination pattern followed by these top most institutes.

It will be a wise decision if exams are taken with respect to practical application of knowledge.

Every student have the theoretical information , but when the application is in right place then it becomes the knowledge.

We are making blocs such as EU, USU, OAU, SARC, ASEAN, BRIC etc. That means, tech guys to share & collarabrate their skills, under various environment to different Clients. India's technically qualified guys need to understand the theory & be able to interpret it to the different conditions. Nothing wrong in our learning, we need to develop the application skill, oriented towards the Project in Hand. A crash course can be organised by the Project people to the key personnel, by the Client to deliver their expectation will remedy this.

Today there are too many technological institutes  I mean too many engineering colleges in India, but are lacking in quality, as there are very less trained professors who are in this college to give that quality in their engineering course, they are just stuffing them into the colleges irrespective of quality education imparting to them. So, its because of too many colleges, and even the government is granting so many new colleges without seeing whether they have the proper faculty and lab facilities in them.

Right guidence from the parent  by recognising childs ability is very important , sports ,fine arts , performing arts  are still not a very popular option by parents ( i am also one of them ) . Infrastructure will take some more time to devolop in small towns .

There were too many techies passing out and not getting proper jobs or jobs that match their education. This has resulted in an overkill with parents opting out for other lucrative sectors. Also the job market hasnt kept pace with the output of techies. Either the pay was low or the jobs werent there in the first place.

Economic boom, depression and then again a boom of sorts has made students opt for safer jobs like finance and marketing where the shine doesnt lost out that fast. Also the dotcom bust has led to a sense of insecurity amongst the techies itself with nationalistic rhetoric on the rise abroad.
