Student’s future: Engineering Entrepreneurship & Placements in Colleges

Written By- Shaily Rai

Delhi NCR-based NAAC accredited college; ITS Engineering is now open to admission for engineering and management programs 2021. With the CBSE 12th class Board and JEE Mains results being announced recently, candidates are now liable to apply at the prestigious institute of ITS Engineering College online.

Generally, there are two career paths that a student decides to pursue after completing their B. Tech degree—Business & Job. A student will acquire a private job either by college placements or by searching for the desired job themselves. For establishing a business, on the other hand, students mostly go for a management degree first, that is MBA. Not many are aware of this but the college has a special provision for students wishing to start a business early on and for the ones inclining towards entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship and Startup programs in Colleges.

Entrepreneurship is not to be underestimated. Not only are they essential assets for business corporations but they also improve the standard of living, thus stimulating economic growth. We can say this from the Global Innovation Index where India has been ranked 48th amongst the top 50 countries, successfully jumping four places since the last ranking.

Keeping this in mind, the Ministry of Education has introduced ‘innovation cells’ in colleges to encourage new ideas brought forth by the students and materialize them into reality. These innovation cells impart knowledge about entrepreneurship and sharpen student’s technical skills through camps, sessions, and workshops.

In addition, the government has proposed a parameter known as ‘Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements’ (ARIIA) for measuring the contribution of entrepreneurship and innovation in colleges each year. In respect to this, ITS Engineering College has successfully achieved the ranking of Top 6-25 private institutes across India under Band A category. This was announced by the Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu.

Placement in Colleges.

Just as there are special programs devised to promote entrepreneurship, there are special measures to promote placements in colleges too. In order to prepare students for the corporate world, colleges design their curriculum to improve a student’s technical and non-technical skills. There are two forces responsible for brushing a student’s technical skills—the Center of excellence and the faculty of the college. Center of excellence is the organizational platform that provides training, practical exposure, research, and development to students by collaborating with the established industries. This is all done with the motive to prepare students for the corporate world.

Entrepreneurship and Startup programs in ITS Engineering.

Keeping the above-mentioned points in mind, the founders of ITS Engineering College has devised their own strategies to meet the optimum goals for students.

For establishing technology-driven start-ups, the college has NewGen IEDC (New Generation Innovation & Entrepreneurship Development Centers) and Startup cell that aims towards the establishment and growth of start-ups and companies in their beginning stages. This is possible through customized incubation support services, skill development, and training programs for entrepreneurship, enterprises, and innovation. Furthermore, NewGen IEDC has been funded by The Department of Science & Technology (DST) of over Rs 2.87 Crores to implement their goals. While the startup cell provides adequate manufacturing space, time, and support to materialize potential start-ups.

The college also has entrepreneurship develop cell (EDC) which aims to inspire, train and cultivate the feeling of entrepreneurship, thus helping students in realizing their dreams.

Placement in ITS Engineering College.

ITS Engineering has dedicated itself to placements by holding the position of the best placement college in the Delhi NCR region. A lot goes in during college placements.

Getting placed in a well-settled company is the optimum goal of every student. It secures their future in good hands. Many factors play in achieving this such as premium location, a reputable college, excellent faculty, skill development, global exposure, etc. Despite the pandemic reigning over our plans and aspirations since 2020, there has been an upsurge in white-collar jobs. Delhi NCR is an excellent hub for job opportunities with over 322,044 registered companies, making it the second city with the highest number of jobs. Gurugram and Noida are known to provide a wide array of job opportunities in the field of IT and manufacturing.

Prerequisites for a job.

A systematic preparation goes into the transformation of a person from a student to a workable employee. Simply presenting a good report card is not enough. A student will need to acquire two things-Technical and Non- technical skills.

Technical skills- Nowadays, MNC is demanding candidates possessing global exposure in their domain. Knowing this, ITS Engineering College has set up a Centre of Excellence having development centers of multiple globalized companies like Apple iOS, R-Systems, Syscom, Rockwell Automation, National Instruments Innovation Center (ECE), e- yantra, ITB, SMC Pneumatics. They provide hands-on experience with the recent technology to prepare them for the corporate world.

A college is judged by its faculty. ITS Engineering College has a line of talented, lecturers, with many Ph.D. holders. They are the pillars of a student’s academic life.

Non- technical skills- Often we have heard about students who have excelled in academics but failed to crack interviews during placements. Many people tend to oversee this but the truth is non-technical skills are just as important as technical skills.

Non-technical are soft skills that are synonym with a person’s behavior, personality, and sociable traits. Some of the required soft skills are Leadership, teamwork, communication, attitude, work ethic, interpersonal, etc. ITS Engineering College has its own dedicated Personality Development Program (PDP) team, which nurtures the students for their dream recruitment.

ITS Engineering College.

When it comes to college placements, ITS Engineering has maintained for being a top-holder placement college in the Delhi NCR region. The credit for upholding such a standard goes to two teams.

Corporate Research Center (CRC): They are responsible for conducting on-campus interviews by tying up with the top-notch companies for all industries. They also incorporate guest lecturers to raise awareness to the students about the latest trends and technologies in the market. CRC has held the record of organizing over 350+ company visits in the academic year of 2020- 2021 with more than 400 job offers to the students. Some of the well-renowned companies include TCS, NIIT Technologies, Amazon, Hashedin-Deloitte, Ultratech Cement, Goldman Sachs, DeltaX, Wipro, Accenture, Byju’s, ICICI Bank, IDFC First Bank, etc.

CRC also encompasses a student committee known as Placecom. They are the hands behind the campus placement, responsible for managing the placement process from beginning to end. These students get hands-on experience in management which proves beneficial to them in the corporate world.

Personality Development Program Team: The PDP team works in collaboration with the CRC team to provide Aptitude & Reasoning sessions as well as assessment tests right early on in a student’s college life. They also conduct soft skills training, working on communication skills, group discussions, and verbal pronunciation amongst others to prepare students for their placements and interviews.

It is these innovative ventures that make ITS engineering the best placement college in AKTU and one of the best colleges in Uttar Pradesh.

ITS Engineering College in Greater Noida has opened its doors to a new branch of engineering in Bachelor of technology—Artificial Intelligence & Machine learning (Al & Ml), from the academic year 2021 onwards.

What is Artificial intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is the new computer of technology. In simple words, AI gives life to the machines—by giving them intelligence. This enables the machine to imitate humans in terms of perception, decision making, speech recognition, and language interpretation. And the way we can construct Ai is through Machine learning. Ml is the tool required for the machines to make intelligent decisions based on algorithms and historical data. Some of the well-known applications of AI include Siri, Google Maps, Google assistant, data bot, music and media streaming services, etc. It is like creating a mini robot inside the software.

AI and ML are a subset of Computer science engineering. What separates AI from computer & computer applications is unlike most computer software's that are required to be pre-programmed, AI does not require that. Instead, they require machine learning algorithms like reinforcement learning algorithms and deep learning neural networks in order to work with their intelligence.

Scope of AI & ML.

The world we see today is mostly driven by technology. The smartphone we carry every day is the best example of that. Artificial Intelligence aims to add another dimension to that technology by solving real-time problems, thus meeting the goals of organizations and humans in general. The requirement of AI is spread into various fields such as robotics, games, finance, cyber security, social media, driver less automobiles, health, space technology—the opportunities are endless. An example of its usage was at the time of the Covid pandemic where AI-assisted in the development of vaccines with its analytical predictions and machine learning.

AI is like a developing country that is growing rapidly and still has room to evolve more. There are three kinds of working AI- Weak AI, general AI, and strong AI. In terms of capabilities, AI is still at the weak and general level. It has yet to evolve into a strong AI. Scientists have planned to modify AI to the point where it will track and analyze patients in real-time and help combat fatal diseases such as cancer. While driverless cars are already in use, albeit rarely, they will predictably replace a large number of regular automobiles in the coming decades. These were just some of the examples of AI and its scope in the future.

Artificial Intelligence & Machine learning jobs.

According to the report prepared by the World Economic Forum, there will be a requirement of 58 million new Artificial intelligence jobs by the end of 2022. AI is continuing to take over technology, thus increasing the demand for artificial intelligence & machine learning jobs in various industries. The subject of Machine learning is crucial for building AI and will be made as mandatory as programming in the coming years. Some of the jobs posts of AI & ML include Artificial intelligence engineer, data scientist, software engineer, robotics engineer, machine learning engineer, AI researcher, ML architect, etc. While some of the well-known AI companies based in India are Dixon, Google, Adobe, Amazon, Wipro, Honeywall Automation, Pfizer, etc.

AI & ML in ITS Engineering College

Being aware of its vast growing aspects, ITS Engineering College in Greater Noida has added Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning course into its educational structure. The course of AI will include machine learning, automation, neural networks, algorithms, language processing, robotics, pattern recognition amongst others. The duration of the B Tech AI & ML engineering will be of 4 years, comprising of 8 semesters in total.

ITS Engineering College, Greater Noida is affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University and is the best engineering college in AKTU. The students studying here are blessed with a myriad of opportunities through interactive workshops, entrepreneurship programs, internships, industry visits, expert talks, virtual classroom sessions, and job placements in top-notch companies. They also train their students on non-technical soft skills to prepare them for the corporate world, thus securing their future in artificial intelligence.

We believe this is the best time for students to choose AI as their career path at a time when it is thriving in the technological world globally.

Is engineering the right field for you?

Be it engineering, medical, or any other field, everyone asks the same question. But the question itself is flawed. Instead of asking—is this right for you, one should ask—Will I be able to do it right? It is mostly upto the individual, their passion and dedication towards their career that drives them to the road of success.

Engineering is a vast field that comprises top engineering courses and opportunities in the corporate world. New branches are being added in the B. Tech course, aiming to align with the developing technology. As long as science exists, engineers will exist to develop as well.

Before choosing engineering as your domain, ask yourself whether you are choosing this on your own or is peer pressure mapping your career for you? If it's the latter, then it will be a tough road ahead of you, and the chances of becoming a successful engineer are close to nil. Many engineering pursuing students are unable to score well because of this reason. Make sure you choose engineering because you want to. This also includes choosing top colleges for B tech in India that builds the base for you, like ITS Engineering College in Greater Noida.

Below are the parameters to consider before choosing the best course for Btech. Consider these and ask yourself whether engineering is the right fit for you.

Maths and Physics are an integral part of the B tech course. A student excelling in these two subjects is capable enough to be an engineer. It's okay if you are lacking in few areas, but you need to be quick in basic mathematics and calculations. Please reconsider engineering if you are weak in Mathematics and Physics. These subjects are vitally needed to clear the competitive exams like JEE and are put into use in the corporate world later on.
If you happen to like solving technical problems, riddles, and puzzles, then congratulations, you met your match in engineering. Besides maths and physics, engineering requires a person with analytical and critical thinking skills.
Technology is a synonym for computers. If you happen to love working with computers and their technicalities, you'll love engineering as well. Be it, Information Technology, Computer Science, or Artificial Intelligence, there are multiple options when it comes to the technical aspects of engineering. Computer engineers are needed both in hardware and software.
Observation is also an integral aspect of an engineer. If you possess a keen eye for detail then you are eligible to choose to engineer.
Creativity is to go beyond what is available and develop something new. A person with a creative mind can do wonders in engineering. It could be an innovative way to solve a problem or make something that is timely and efficient.
If you are keen on the idea of developing and sustaining infrastructures, airplanes, telecommunication devices, engines, automobiles, robots, then you can make your wish come true through the medium of engineering. Besides these, there is an availability of engineers in the field of medicine, agriculture, ceramics, marine, environment, etc. The opportunities are endless.

Entrepreneurship & Startup in India

Entrepreneurship and Start-up Rank in India.

“For any nation to emerge as a developed economy, it is important for that nation to focus on research and innovation which helps them in designing and developing new products.” As of 2020, India has been ranked 48^th amongst the top 50 countries in the Global Innovation Index. It has jumped four places since the last ranking.

While according to Start-up Blink—a world renowned research center based on start-ups, India ranks 20^th amongst top 100 countries in the Global Start-up Ecosystem Index in 2021. If we talk about cities, Delhi ranks 14^th amongst the top 25 cities in the Global Start-up Index.

This economic upscale has been possible due to the innovative contribution of upcoming Entrepreneurs across the country. As of 2021, the government has successfully established innovation council in more than 2500 Universities.

If we talk about innovation cells, it is a recent initiative devised by the Ministry of Education to promote University students to encourage, inspire and nurture new ideas and bring them to reality. Such has been done in engineering colleges to welcome fresh ideas into the world of science.

ARIIA and its parameters.

To ensure that India maintains/ retains this equilibrium, the Ministry of Education, Government of India has devised ‘Atal Ranking of Institutions on Innovation Achievements’ abbreviated as ARIIA. It is there to rank education universities/ private institutes based on below parameters.

1. Student’s participation and contribution in entrepreneurship and innovation programs across the academic year.

2. Besides entrepreneurship, ARIIA also scrutinizes the financial support that the colleges offer to students to build their start-ups in campus. It further observes the pre- incubation and incubation infrastructure. That is, the total funding provided to the successful start-ups in that financial year.

3. Of course, students aren’t going to develop ideas out of nowhere. They need a base—a knowledgeable tool that sharpens their skills and creativity. ARIIA is determinable upon the courses on Entrepreneurship and Innovation provided by the institute during that academic year.

ITS Engineering College has been consistently working on the same protocols of ARIIA and has successfully achieved the ranking of Top 6-25 private institutes across India under B and A category, which was announced by the Vice President of India, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu. On top of that, it has been listed in the top 3 engineering colleges in Uttar Pradesh while it stands on number one spot in Greater Noida.

ITS Engineering College with regards to Innovation.

NewGen IEDC (New Generation Innovation and Entrepreneurship Development Centres) at ITS Engineering College aims towards the establishment and growth of start-ups and companies in their beginning stages. NewGen IEDC has been funded by The Department of Science and Technology (DST) and the National Science & Technology Entrepreneurship Development (NSTEDB) of over Rs 2.87 Crores.
