An illusion has been created that Job opportunities for engineers are minimal. But, there are huge number of potential options for Engineers across the globe.

Substandard engineering education is now addressed in India, due to flooding of low-quality engineering colleges in the last two decades. Low quality engineering education fails to generate employable Engineers. As there is a deep decline in enrollment and now a large number of these colleges are being shut down.
