re:direct dilse ek electronics engineer ki kahani
this is a reply to issues raised by 2 blogger friends of mine...
venkat(IIML 2007)n Ananth(???),whose blogs r part of
the links section hav raised several issues regarding the
education system perse
lemme begin by saying this,i share most of their
views...as they say "the system here sucks big time"
but thats one thng,every educationist has accepted..
so rather than shifting the blame,i try to find solutions......
first up...quality of teaching n research
thats not goin to change in most cases..there
r indian silicon valley millionaires who donate millions
of dollars to the MITs to set up labs..they themselves
passed out of the IITs...they wil b more than willing to
set up centres of xcellence,if some kind of expediency n
accountability can be brought into the system...but this wil b
limited to the elite institutions.....
lesser known instis,can collaborate with regional corporates
(its happenening everywhre),but quality of work done by most instis
are not gud enuf to lure corporates....its a vicious cycle then.....
u need money for research....money wil come only when results r produced....
univs hav already realised the acute shrtage of quality teachers..n hav launched some innovative ways to overcme this prob...(dual degrees,direct ph.ds,5 yr integrated masters)...i believe this helps matters.....
the prob wil get solved,when teaching is seen as a honourable if not lucrative
profession....professors need power..then again,wil they refrain frm
misusing it???
second..what hav we done in our 4 yrs at coll
personally,me not not much....
but am as much to blame as the system...
i had all the timw in the world..xcept for a handful of
engg colleges,others rnt that taxing....life at other places is pretty relaxed...
sure,there was no incentive to learn tech...but i cud
hav climbed mountains,improved myself,learnt languages,crossed oceans....
moi dint do all that,simply coz i was lazy...others wil hav their own reasons...
the reason cud b bird watchng,movies,coffee shops..but certainly sth other than the
system
regards choices other than engg....
nobody attracts us towrads engg...there r umpteen other options..
infact the chance to xcel in other activities/interests is more today...
u hav all kinds of talent searches..for entrepreneurs,actors,anchors,......hell ,ther was even a search for big boobs....the fact is that ppl r not bold enuf....
electronics grads ending up in it jobs..that again is not a fn of the system..IMHO,with a BE /BTECH,u r a plain vanilla engr...mayb a ME/MTECH/MS in
DSP VLSI r such other sundry thngs later u wil bcome an electronics engr...
n u wil in all probability end up in TI,NORTEL,NOKIA..................
all,said n done the system sucks bigtime....it sucks coz there
are not enuf ppl ready to take the system head on.....

Agreed.. WIll post more convincing solutions in aday or two.. little busy fixing up my travel plans !
not to put too fine a point on it..the orig article said 'electronics engg. ki kahani'..seein that am the same hv 2 agree with both calculus n venks..
itz the system alrite..also the time that u need 2 get used to the damn system too.. u spend the 1st yr bemoanin ur fate-the next tryin 2 find ur class and get attendances in shape-the third one tryin 2 clear arrears n land a job-and by the fourth u r so disillusioned that u bcum hardened and dont gv a damn abt anything...
like kurt sez- 'Wat else should i do?
All Apologies!'
