India is a big country, supporting the world’s second largest population and is on the verge to acquire the first rank leaving it’s near by competitor behind.

Its is therefore very natural to say that the life is not that simple in this developing country, and you need to fight to hold your existence like at any other place in the world. Thus, competition in every respect begins from the very starter’s level. A child has a lot of worries when he keeps his first day in the school and as he progresses to the higher classes, the issues of career and competitions take away his peace. The competition eventually grows up to much higher level.

As the classes go by and you get to attain the preliminary knowledge of the subject, you start building up the ideas of how to move ahead in your coming up professional life. Where will you start from?? What will be the stream and the area of the specialization?? These are some of the questions that get answered to certain extent with in the last two years of the Indian schooling system, where in you need to decide whether you want to be a science student specializing in the medical or engineering fields, or will be liked to be the part of business world and manager by opting commerce or finally, an artist who doesn’t like putting in much of the brains in ‘ifs buts and then’ of the science or in solving the mathematical problems, especially of the technical level. They know what is sufficient and most basic of science and math’s, and rest the nature’s beauty and their imaginations are well harmonized to hold them in this line.

Among the many options available, information technology is the one that a substantial ratio of students decide to opt for as their career. Although there are many software degree/diploma courses available in the country and are popular enough among the students, still the most common method to be a repudiated IT engineer remains the same; the children decide to opt for the three basic science subjects physics, chemistry and math’s along with the language and any other fifth subject of their choice in the last two years of the schooling. This is because the admissions to most of the engineering colleges in India are done on the basis of the entrance exams conducted by the university the college is affiliated to, wherein the conceptual objective type questions based on the above three mentioned basic subjects form the syllabus of the subject. Once you qualify the entrance exam, you are eligible to take admission in the college, provided you fulfill the other basic norms demanded by the college, and the trade or the field of your specialization is allotted on the basis of your branch, depending on your rank and interest.

Whatever college you get in for your engineering, the basic course curriculum all over the country is indistinguishable. The whole study is divided into four years, with each year consisting of eight semesters. Generally, the first two semesters are introductory in the nature and have much of what you studied during your schooling in little detailed manner. Followed by this, the consecutive semesters are more specialized in nature, that is, the course curriculum is so designed that you slowly get the deep knowledge of the chosen trade, covering even the most basic and conceptual facts. This is done in order to develop a habit of going in deep and researching in to the subject in the student rather than becoming a mere crammer.

Also, to grow up the practical insight among the students, the laboratory work form an important and un-suspend able part of the course curriculum. To further sharpen the practical skills of the students, generally it is mandatory for the students to go through a practical training of generally six weeks or more at times at the end of the sixth semester.

For more, the students have the option to participate in the technical fest of their or other colleges, or they can enroll themselves in the technical workshops. They can even submit optional technical projects during their graduation duration.

Subject like humanities and social sciences also form a major part of the course curriculum for over all growth of the students. There are colleges that have specialized departments to teach subjects like economics, history, English, psychology, and business at the undergraduate level. The other cultural activities and interactive associations, literary clubs, competitions, sport activities including tracking, rafting, etc go along with studies to lighten up the pressure of the heavy engineering course.

Thus, the course curriculum has been designed keeping in mind the apt way to grow and sharpen the skills of a student, so that at the end of his engineering tenure comprising of eight semesters, he has developed the approach of working down from the very basic and conceptual manner, even in the toughest working conditions.

Founded in 1950 by the central government, Indian Institute of Technologies, IIT’s, raised to an institution of national importance by Parliament by means of the Indian Institute of Technology Act of 1956 and its subsequent amendments. Besides receiving central government support in the early years, IIT received assistance from West Germany , the Soviet Union , Britain , the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), and the United States. It is because of their quality education they have acquired the status of being listed among the top technical schools of the world and thus is ranked as the most prestigious engineering college of India .

Every year around two lakh students form various cities and towns aspiring to have a successful career as an engineer appear for one of the toughest competitive exam conducted by IIT’s in order to seek admission in one of the six IIT’s, namely IIT- Delhi, IIT- Mumbai, IIT-Kharagpur, IIT-chennai, IIT-Kanpur and IIT-Gauwhati, spread through out the country. Out of these approximately 3000 students actually make up to one of these. Rest settle either in the regional engineering colleges taking up the next place in ranking order after IIT’s, or end up in the private engineering colleges. Few of them even decide to give a year more preparing for the entrance exams to be held next year or else settle down with the other courses available.

Such high quality education completed with rigorous training makes the Indian engineers, especially the IIT’ians, highly appealing to high-tech companies like Microsoft, Intel and Cisco, who send recruiters across the Pacific on yearly trips. It is estimated that around 50 per cent of India's graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and the Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), the top 20 per cent of graduates from medical schools, and the top 15 per cent of graduates in the humanities leave the country , to work in US, Europe, Japan and other developed nations of Middle East. In addition, around 75 per cent of India 's computer professionals abandon the country's booming computer industry, for their brighter future prospects in the developed nations.

This has brought up India to the third position in the world for acquiring the largest pool of technical manpower. It stands at top for producing and exporting computer software’s unbeatable anywhere in the globe.
