Frequently Asked Questions

CURRENT ENGINEERING SCENARIO

Engineering Studies is becoming one of the easiest option. Right ?

Getting a job in core field of Engineering is becoming very difficult

now a days due to huge competition.

Reason is not lack of opportunities.

Problem is the lack of skilled engineers.

RELEVANCE OF MULTIPLE SKILLSCurrent trend in Industry especially in India is that Companies are moving from

the older Functional format to that of a Matrix format.

It means that companies are more focused in taking up project works.

For handling projects companies need team members with multiple

skills.

WHEN SHOULD I START LEARNING ?

▪ First year of your college itself

Can assist in final year project.

Can come out of college with additional skills.

Can attend interviews more confidently.

Will get a job in your core field itself.
