Engineering Education in India Globalization of economic activities, and mobility of professionals across national borders and emergence of a knowledge society are putting new insights on the competency requirement of engineers, their role in the emerging international scenario and their ability to work harmoniously and effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi- cultural teams.

Engineering Education in India Globalization is radically changing the way national economies around the world design, produce, distribute and consume goods and services. Engineers are in the midst of this dynamic development. They need to work in teams and on projects with members from different nations and continents. They need to be internationally mobile, whether physically or virtually to respond to the growing international concern about the preparation of engineering workforce in future.

Engineering Education in India India has emerged as a major player in the world in the field of engineering education and Indian engineers have contributed significantly to the economic and technological development of many foreign lands not only in the information technology sector but also in general engineering services and in hi-tech research and development in solid-state electronics, communications and embedded systems.

Engineering Education in India Today more than 2300 engineering institutions in India are turning out more than 6,00,000 engineers every year. Indian engineering education represents one of the largest educational systems in the world. The IITs have been in the forefront of engineering education in India, followed by NITs and many other centrally funded Institutes in furthering the reach of engineering education.
