What last year’s toppers say regarding choice of subjects
Sairam
Last year, I chose computer science. Now I feel there is employment opportunity for all branches of engineering. It is a wrong notion that only computer science, IT, mechanical, marine have the best job prospects. Students should have the enthusiasm to learn all the new information pertaining to their branch of engineering, and not just stick to the syllabus. Only then they can be competitive. If new students can do this, they can choose any branch and get good jobs.
Keerthana
It is true that students prefer some branches of engineering. But the truth is there are jobs for all branches, especially abroad. Students just need to be up-to-date on their chosen branch.
What educationists say
Rhymend Uthariaraj, Secretary, Tamil Nadu Engineering Admissions 2018
It is true that every year enrollment of students in selected branches is increasing. For instance, students are keen to study in mechanical, IT, electronics etc. We believe the same trend will continue this year also. Based on the results in the first semester and eighth semester, we do rank colleges but we don’t announce any top 10 colleges.
Jayaprakash Gandhi, educational consultant
Engineering education is worth pursuing. There are jobs for all branches but students are not qualified enough to land those jobs. We can’t say only students are responsible for this. The syllabus, government, the college as well as teachers also need to share responsibility for the situation. Some colleges do go beyond the syllabus and give up-to-date knowledge. They understand what recruiters expect and teach them to their students.
