Since Anil D. Sahasrabudhe, took over as the Chairman of AICTE (All India Council for Technical Education), he made a number of reforms. He reduced the number of seats in the engineering colleges and only allowed colleges with 50% seats full in the general courses to introduce new and conventional courses. Initially, most colleges and faculty objected to the matter and also took it to court. But eventually, now with the introduction of new specialities such as, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Science students are more interested in pursuing Engineering as a career option.
G.Laxmi Priya, Commissioner of Technical Education pointed out that these new specialities have opened ample job opportunities post Covid-19. Sharing a similar view, the Chairman of Sri Shakthi Institute of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore, S. Thangavelu states that aspirants are now more interested in sectors like electronics, artificial intelligence, cyberspace, and data science, also due to high-end salaries. K.G. Parthiban, Principal of Danish Ahmed College, also states that the generation of Engineering graduates will soon return within the next 5-10 years with vast scope in these domains specifically. So, candidates must focus not just on their degrees but also on their interpersonal skills, communication, and core technical skills. Candidates should be multidisciplinary and skilled to cope with and follow the new trend, especially for students from rural backgrounds.
