TECHNICAL EDUCATION VICTIM OF PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALISM

TECHNICAL EDUCATION VICTIM OF PSEUDO-INTELLECTUALISM

Technical Education is the victim of Superiority Complex, Pseudo-Intellectualism, Total detachability from the Indian Industries requirements, Teaching mostly using the foreign material, Curriculum designed for continuance of the livelihood rather than brainstorming to produce employable industry ready engineers.

 The present-day engineering degree holding engineers find it difficult to accept the challenges of Shop-floor in any industry. Industries are starved of good productive engineers and are failing to sustain as a result or forced to continue with lower productivity. It is evident that lower productivity just can’t ensure respectable salaries or employment.

 Narrative is so developed that blame for unemployability either goes to the Government or the Industries while the blame 100% belongs to the unrealistic curriculum and its handlers. I am confident that this will soon be realized by the career conscious students and things will start changing only after that. The balanced curriculum is one that ensures a mix of employable and innovative engineers.

The realistic and productive curriculum can be designed only when custodians keep away the Pseudo-intellectuals and Nepotism.
