ENGINEERING COURSES

India produces the most number of young, talented Engineers every year. Engineering is a stream of education that involves the application of Science, Technology, and Mathematics. Inclusion of these into the curriculum is done to innovate, design, develop and maintain machines, structures, software, hardware, and systems & processes. The field of Engineering provides a variety of career opportunities across all industries. The duration of all engineering courses in India is of 4 academic years. Engineering is the most opted course by students, especially of Science stream after 12th. The bachelor’s degree in Engineering is called B.Tech.

In recent years the engineering sector has become the largest of the industrial sectors in India. Over the last few years, the engineering sector in India has seen remarkable growth that is locomoted by increased investment in infrastructure and industrial production. to add to that, since engineering is closely related to the manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, it is of utmost strategic importance to India’s economy. To improve its status to emerge as a global superpower, India has taken prominent steps in developing its engineering sector. Engineering in India accounts for 27% of the total factories in the industrial sectors and represents 63% of the overall foreign collaborations. In a bid to promote goods, products, and services that are products of engineering in India, the Government of India has appointed Engineering Export Promotion Council (EEPC) as the apex body. 

India is also one of the leading exporters of transport equipment, capital goods, other machinery/equipment, and light engineering products such as castings, forgings, and fasteners to various countries of the world.

India even became a permanent member of the Washington Accord (WA) on 13th June 2014. There are 17 countries, that are permanent signatories and India is one of them. It is an elite international agreement on engineering studies and the mobility of engineers.

India is known for high-quality technical education and research facilities of international standards. The IITs, NIT, and other prestigious colleges for Engineering are highly competitive.
