With 14.1 lakh candidates registering for JEE Main this year, the entrance process for coveted engineering colleges is perhaps the most ambitious career opening for lakhs of students, matched in aspiration only by medical entrance exam NEET. Engineering aspirants and their families pin their hopes on education in an engineering institute as a passport to a meaningful and well-paying career.
Does engineering education do justice to the hopes of the lakhs of aspirants? With ever changing technologies, especially with Generative AI pervading every aspect of life, are all engineering colleges bringing about changes in their curriculum and pedagogy? How equipped are they in terms of infrastructure and faculty to be abreast of the changing requirements? Is the present faculty on the same page when it comes to innovative approaches? Expertise in core skills notwithstanding, do the engineering grads have the required soft skills to perform in teams in the industry?

 

BW Education aims to address the current challenges in engineering education and explore future possibilities through its special edition on Engineering Ranking. This edition highlights institutions that are making significant efforts to meet the sector’s and students’ expectations.
