Engineering colleges educational system not only wastes too many years of a students life

 How does it matter who owns the college?

Educational institutions' infrastructure requires funds and whoever can bring that creates one.

As long as the teaching staff are selected as per norms and students are given proper academic training then it is ok. 

If the purpose of academics is a passport to get an employment why not teach industry relevant education, at least, after the completion of one- size fit all childhood imprisonment called the inevitable mass literacy enforced through state in schooling. 

It is a blessing that Sachin Tendulkar, Dhoni, Jaiswal did not study well in school. 

Were all the missionaries, Chettiyars who built big educational institutions educated? Not at all.

Whereas, neither the big industries nor the corporates bothered to create even polytechnic colleges, at least for their own requirements. They are guilty of not doing something important to the society. 

Imagine, if TVS group had started at least polytechnic colleges in electrical, mechanical and civil engineering courses by 70s or 80s. Our engineers would be in most of the top companies in the world now. 

Whereas, the TATAs, later on the Birlas Jains and now even L&T in the north did open colleges. 

Of course, none of the engineering colleges churn out worthy students because even there cut- copy - paste projects are submitted and as for as exams are concerned it is again memorising and vomiting most of the time. 

Engineering or any science course must be as in Israel , unless the student submits some original project in practical, they don't get promoted, they get only a provisional certificate of having completed the course. More or less the same in US and Europe.

After completing any course and every course in India, when the graduates join any company they are given detailed training on the job which alone helps them to perform. All that they have studied to get a degree becomes obviously useless. 

Whereas, we are busy teaching very high level of trigonometry in plus one which the student never gets to apply anywhere throughout his life ( unless a few turn out to become rocket or missile scientists). 

Our educational system not only wastes too many years of a students life but also burdens them with excessive theoretical knowledge. 

If this is what we talk about engineering courses, think of so many  MBAs and worthless PhDs , now ChatGPT churns out better thesis papers.

That's why the real contributors to economic growth, social development, cultural promotion etc are mostly from people without these worthless alphabets suffixed to their names. 

I know the mockery that goes on in the Engineering colleges almost without exception.
