Pranshav: Do Indians Mostly Focus On Engineering?

Welcome to India! The largest hub of aspiring engineers in the world. As the world advances technologically, India is obsessed with producing members of a certain scientific brotherhood that deals with mechanical learning. To understand more about this, we must visit the dusty archives of history.

We are now in 1947, visiting a newly independent India. Earlier, the common half-baked badly educated Indian man worked as high as a clerk under the colonial masters. In 1947, when the British left India, dozens of developmental posts in the upper tiers of the government became vacant. Indians with technical knowledge about engineering were needed for the nation's progress. Thus, engineering colleges were established, and our economy progressed.

India still retains its habits and orthodox thoughts in many ways. Earlier, orthodox thoughts were prevalent only in religion, now they have crept into education. The trend of producing engineers continues even today. Of all the thousands of applicants, only a chosen few are able to enter the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). Many of these students get lucrative offers from all around the world and leave for foreign shores. The rest who cannot get into IITs go into other colleges and so, this huge mass of engineering students is created, who have acquired obsolete knowledge and are aiming for jobs which are just a handful. With such a great human resource, India is hell-bent on producing more engineers and not always quality ones. So, hopefully, in the not so distant future, more quality education institutes will be needed.

It is true that there is an emerging new trend in the minds of Indian students to choose engineering as a career because of its readily available job placement opportunities. This has led to a rapid increase in competition to gain admission at the IITs. Students are now facing pressure and depression both from people and themselves from an early age to clear the exam(JEE).This has affected the country in a both positive and a negative way.

Times Newspaper in Education (Times NIE) is a novel program that helps students ‘Stay Ahead’ and aims at making ‘Learning Fun’. It introduces concepts that help individual growth and development beyond school curriculum.

A brainchild of The Times of India, the world’s leading English newspapers, Times NIE nurtures progress and innovation. Adapted from the international concept, Times Newspaper in Education program (Times NIE) was initiated in India in 1985.

Today we have over 3000 schools and over 9 lac students subscribing to the programme, spanning 16 cities viz. Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Chandigarh, Dehradun, Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, and Jaipur.

The Times of India Student edition, a customized student newspaper exclusively for the students, packs a powerful punch in terms of content that leads to a smarter and superior learning experience. The information is crafted such that it finds use in classroom discussions, thus making it relevant and current. It truly gives education a new dimension by fostering the simple habit of reading which in turn paves the way for a confident, informed and aware individual. A newspaper that inspires young minds and equips them to face challenges of today’s world, making way for global citizens.

Empowering students with new cutting-edge knowledge through various educative and informative activities is a commitment and tradition of Times NIE. The programme serves as a catalyst of education and interaction, as well as a window into the minds of the quintessential Indian youth. On a significant scale Times NIE comprises diverse interesting activities and events that boost the child’s passion for learning, while revealing hidden talent.

While you are aware that The Times of India is among the leading English Newspapers across the world, it has consummated its position as an everlasting winner. With several international awards and recognitions to its credit, The Times of India and Times NIE have validated an enduring tradition of setting the highest benchmarks in every respect. We have been awarded with the two most prestigious awards, Times NIE - World’s No.1 NIE program and The Times of India, Student Edition - World’s No.1 Newspaper for the youth in 2006 by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN). In 2008 we were honoured by the International Newspaper Marketing Association (INMA), yet another international recognition for ‘Youth Audience Development’. In 2013 we were again honoured by the celebrated World Association of Newspapers (WAN) as the ‘Times NIE - World’s Best Youth Engagement Program’.

Times NIE has grown remarkably over the last three and a half decades, touching millions of children across more than 16 Indian cities. Our absolute commitment towards the fledgling generation remains undiluted and our greatest strength lies in the school partnership and commitment.
