Someday back someone asked me why I am so against someone doing a BTech or and MBA?
I had a tough time making him understand that I have absolutely nothing against these two courses. Rather I want my students to become "GOOD" engineers. But mind it, GOOD engineers.
And this is where the entire problem lies. For instance UPTU (ha ha ha the UPTU guys will give a SUPAARI of my name for blasting them repeatedly) is one giant Engineer / MBA producing machine. If you have watched the movie, Lord of the Ring (Part II) you must be remembering the way DEMONS were literally produced under the two towers. Same here. 100,000 BTechs and 40000 MBAs every year. And that too of GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT quality.
A 4th Year BTech Electronics guy couldn't distinguish between a capacitor and a resistor.
A MBA guy can't even write FIVE CORRECT sentences about himself.
And then we say that there are numerous Learned Jobless guys around. Learned is definitely not the word for them.
But I must also say that students cannot be held solely responsible for this. Look at the infrastructure. One previous college I worked with didn't even have an Electronics laboratory for 3rd year students and their practical book was full of practicals. I wonder how they ever did the practicals.
And it is the case with every college (barring a selected few).
So all i say is if you wanna do your BTech / MBA do it from somewhere you will be really taught. Else its better not do a BTech / MBA. That way you are only increasing the infamy of these courses.
Friends the above mentioned thoughts are purely mine and the BTech / MBA guys and gals kindly don't take offence.

I am in through accord of this very fact....if you really wanna persue engineering.. be in that 3 % who actually forms the Engineering class of india ( as APJ Abdul Kalam once said.. 97% of our engineers don't deserve to be an engineer).... or better don't go for it its gonna save a lot.. for your own good & also save Engineering/MBA institutes from infamy.
Some time i wonder.... an "engineer" spend his 4 years & hell lot of financial assets just to end up into a job where he/she is giving a Technical Support ?? or an MBA guy/gal spend precious 2 years & lots of financial Assets to end up into a sales job or a mid grade job where he/she doesn't even know how what are available resources ???
These question actually leave a big impact on mind & a big hole in our Soul "IF & only if given a deep SERIOUS thought"
I really appreciates your blog regarding the real secanrio of our UPTU technical education , even i also in this favor better to go common graduation course rather then to invest lots of money and time . Bcoz after spending lots of money and time end of the day ,You will see yourself in the garbage of certified engineers and MBA holders.
