Engineers generally start their career with a bachelor's degree in one of the engineering discipline. There are Masters' engineering courses, research doctorate degrees as well, but even diploma engineers compete with graduates and postgraduates in many fields with experience and hard work.
Great emphasis is given to engineering and technology education in the country as it is widely accepted that knowledge resource in technology can be the single largest component for economic development.
In recent decades there has been a boom in setting up of engineering colleges and institutes, with emphasis on courses and career programs that would bring in great employment opportunities and stimulate production.
This section of our site aims to resource the community with most updated information on engineering and colleges in India, courses, employment opportunities, salaries and more.
