India has the most unemployed engineers in the world. A typical Indian high school science major journey begins with engineering "A Hamster Wheel"

Coorporate Slaves Of India

In India, the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) is a gateway to the top engineering colleges in the country, including the Indian Institutes of Technology. The exam is divided into two tiers: JEE Mains and JEE Advanced. While anyone can take JEE Mains, only the top 1-2 lakh (100,000-200,000) students who qualify can take JEE Advanced.The Indian education system is geared towards preparing high school students for this rigorous exam, with many starting JEE coaching as early as 6th or 7th grade, and most beginning in 11th grade. The pressure to excel is immense, sacrificing all the hobbies.

JEE HASTLE

For many students, the JEE is seen as the ultimate test of hard work, dedication, and intelligence. But for those who do not make the cut, the disappointment can be crushing. Some take a gap year to try again, while others give up entirely.

Defining 

Even for those who do succeed in the JEE and gain entry into a top engineering college, the road ahead is not necessarily easy. The grueling study habits that got them there can be difficult to break, and the pressure to excel continues.

Clueless Entry

For those who choose to pursue a career in engineering, the JEE is just the beginning. But for many, it is a defining moment that shapes their future, for better or for worse.

Conclusion:JEE

The initial excitement of joining a prestigious institution like an IIT or any other college is short-lived, as the constant pressure of assignments, quizzes, exams, and practicals soon takes a toll on one's mental health. The academic environment is focused on a rat race towards job placements and securing high-paying packages, leaving little room for genuine passion and innovation.

Engineering Begins

Engineering has become less about creativity and more about securing a job in the IT sector, which often leaves engineers feeling like "educated fools" who have been duped by society into pursuing a career they don't really enjoy.

Fooled By The Society

A life as an engineer could be fun if colleges emphasized practical learning and project-based coursework, but instead, students are forced to memorize formulas and derivations that hold little relevance. Ultimately, many end up as corporate slaves, serving their whole lives in pursuit of the money they always wanted but never have time to enjoy.

The "If" Which Could Make Engineering Fun

Instead of chasing degrees and marks, individuals should focus on using their unique capabilities to make money and break free from the societal bubble that limits their true potential.

Embrace Yourself

Engineers are very much underrated in India because of the abundance of them in the society. Here is how passionate engineers struggle in India.

Educated Fools
