What suggestions would you like to give to ten-plus-two science graduates who are in pursuit of engineering education?
Engineering education is a life-changing education. It is the application of knowledge to solve real problems. Engineers figure out how to get things done properly and efficiently and find practical uses for scientific discoveries. In addition, engineering education develops skills and knowledge of students that ensures right path for appealing careers. It is a professional education which provides lots of job opportunities in national and international markets. Similarly, an engineering graduate can be an entrepreneur and can lead an independent life in the future. Employment and self employment sectors are possible from engineering education. So, I suggest that ten-plus-two students pursue engineering education for their better future.
