Re: [prpoint] How to select University Courses after 12th std? An interview with VC of Anna University

srini, you have done great service to the student community in india. wish every student and parent gets to read what you have written and done int he podcast. prof radhakrishnan should give interviews to toi, ht, et, and other leading publications so that the message gets across.   I am always there to help him and you.   since i come from the power sector let me share with you some of the industry's concerns. there is an acute shortage of mechanical and civil engineers in the coountry because most of the students have been lured by the glamour of it and telecom courses. now there is a surplus of such engineers which the industry cannot absorb. the demand for mechanical engineering and civil engineering seats has risen because the country is erecting so many projects and we need these engineers.   we need specialised piping engineers in the power sector , specialised engineers to handle electrical and electromechanical packages in the power sector. and the power companies cannot find them. believe it or not the ctc for such engineers with just three to four years experience is about rs 8 lakhs per annum.   best regards, tn ashok corporate advisor to power sector --- On Mon, 6/23/08, Prime Point Srinivasan <prpoint@gmail.com> wrote: From: Prime Point Srinivasan <prpoint@gmail.com> Subject: [prpoint] How to select University Courses after 12th std?

The parents of the students who have completed 12th standard are in a confused mood. There is a notion amongst the parents and students that only Engineering Courses in Information Technology are best suited for future prospects. Arts and Science courses are not preferred. Is the hype of IT Engineering courses a 'myth' or 'reality'? On 22nd June, 2008, we telephonically interviewed Prof. R Radhakrishnan, Vice Chancellor of Anna University, Coimbatore to clarify on these points and to guide the parents and students. Anna University is one of the leading technical Universities in India with more than 100 affiliated engineering colleges. This podcast interview will be useful for the students who are seeking admission in University courses and also pursing various education in different colleges in India. Prof. Radhakrishnan suggests that a minimum basic degree with computer skills are sufficient to get placement and to develop future. prospects.  He even goes to suggest that students with 10th standard qualification can also learn the skills that are needed by the industry and can go for jobs. Then they can earn more qualifications through distance education. He also says that students should improve the English language communication skills. Prof. Radhakrishnan suggests that after completing the Schooling, the students should (1) self evaluate themselves and find out their interest with the help of their parents and teachers and (2) identify the field of education, based on the interest. Please listen to the interesting and useful podcast in the following link.  I am releasing this in the group, so that you can pass on to the students who are seeking college admissions. http://www.podunive rsal.com/ 2008/06/how- to-select- university- courses-tips. html srinivasan Moderator
