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.

1. 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.

2. 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. 

3. 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. 

4. 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. 

5. 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. 

6. 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.

ITS Engineering College provides necessary skills to students about various aspects of Entrepreneurship in the form of Entrepreneurship Awareness camps and workshops. With the further venture from NewGen IEDC, undergraduate engineering students and post- graduate students from ITS Engineering College will be able to bring their ingenious ideas to life, thus aiming to make their dreams come true.

Engineering Admissions in ITS Engineering College for the academic year 2021-2022 are open now. ITS provides engineering courses in the specialization of Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, and Civil Engineering. The admission form for the engineering college is available through the link here.
