Why Engineers are Crowding Out Others in Exams, and What We Can Do About It

BY KUNAL SINGH ON 15/08/2015 • 3 

We have taken this article of Mr KuNal singh from the wire....Kunal Singh is an editor at Policy Wonks (www.policywonks.in). He is also a Research Associate at Centre for Policy Research. Kunal is an alumnus of Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. He tweets at @kunaldrajput

India needs many, many more industrial jobs and a sturdy research infrastructure to absorb the glut of engineers

The deep crisis in our higher education system has been highlighted in recent columns by Amartya Sen, Pratap Bhanu Mehta and Niraja Jayal. Our tendency to confuse cause and effect, reform and change, education and employability, skills and knowledge, is so great that we needed their illumination to clear the fog of our incomprehension. Both the crisis and misdiagnosis is so stark that even if we reach the right answers, it is often by asking the wrong questions.

Irrespective of the scale and magnitude of government interference in our top institutions like the IITs, IIMs, Delhi University and Nalanda University, the issue hardly agitates public opinion beyond these campuses and, perhaps, the India International Centre. The absence of agitation is conspicuous in the light of India’s rising gross enrolment ratio.

Aspiring for mobility, not knowledge

This wider apathy is a symptom of the real tragedy of higher education in India – the tragedy of instrumentalisation. Entry into top colleges and universities has become a ticket to economic mobility. Lower rung colleges and universities are merely there to grant social legitimacy via a degree. This may be a reckless generalisation but the fact is that while IIT and IIM graduates are able to command eight-figure salaries, our not-so-remarkable colleges have declined to the point that they have become poor substitutes for programs like ‘Skill India’. Whether we admit it or not, our universities are no longer an abode for creating and disseminating knowledge.

Obsession with the ‘aspirational India’ story has certainly perverted the traditional arena of knowledge creation and dissemination. This perversion is political but governments cannot be held solely responsible. The interference of the government is merely a manifestation of the lack of demand for autonomous knowledge-creating educational institutions. The upper middle class who could have created this demand pressure exercised easy exit options by sending their children abroad.

The aspirational India story is more about getting a better job and lifestyle and less about knowledge. It is not just the institutions that help achieve economic and social mobility which are affected, but also examinations like the one to select civil servants. Remember the protests over the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) conducting an aptitude test for civil services aspirants? It has finally been decided that the Civil Services Aptitude Test, or CSAT, will just be held for qualificatory purposes and that its score, beyond the qualification stage, will not make any difference. The argument of the protesters, besides the language controversy, was that the CSAT favoured students from engineering and other technical backgrounds.

Last  month came the news that the IIMs too have decided to change the format of their CAT (Common Admission Test) to add descriptive questions in addition to multiple-choice format questions. The reason is to introduce diversity, because the previous format rendered itself to easy exploitation by engineers.

March of engineers

The CSAT and CAT issues seem pretty similar, but the question they should prompt us to ask is not why all our exams favour engineering students but why India produces so many engineers despite the shortfall in engineering jobs. With a thin manufacturing sector spread across product types that values skilled low wage workers more than educated professionals demanding high salaries, the CAT and UPSC application basket is flooded with engineering applicants. The quality of research infrastructure being what it is, and with the added burden of middling salaries, few engineers opt to pursue careers in R&D. Those who do migrate overseas.

This means India’s surplus output of engineers ends up looking for non-engineering, crowding out non-engineers in the process.

The data is clear. The composition of successful Civil Services (Mains) candidates has indeed changed with the percentage of engineers increasing from 40.2% in 2010 to 45.9% in 2011 following the introduction of CSAT. While the CSAT appears to have helped engineers, the fact is their proportion had been steadily rising even before the aptitude test was introduced. The percentage of engineers  among the those who successfully took the Mains exam went from 24.3% in 2004 to 40.2% in 2010. The share of candidates with a Humanities background during the same period  decreased from 50.1% to 37.1%. Clearly, the introduction of CSAT in 2011 had little to do with the increasing number of engineers qualifying for the civil services. Compared to the UPSC, the dominance of engineering candidates in the IIMs is well-nigh complete. Among those selected for IIMs at Ahmadabad, Bangalore, Calcutta, Lucknow, Indore and Kozhikode in 2013, engineers comprised 83 to 95 per cent of the total intake.

As the data suggests, changes in the CAT are needed to ensure greater diversity of intake since the existing exam  places too much emphasis on analytical reasoning and too little on the structure of expression. The civil services exam, on the other hand, was not analytical enough before CSAT was introduced in 2011. CSAT challenged the status quo and some applicants chose to hit the streets over being made to work on their analytical skills. One cannot entirely blame the protestors though, for they have been educated in a way that – in Pratap Bhanu Mehta’s words – “will deprive them of opportunities in so many professions that they think of the UPSC as a life or death issue.”

Behind the engineering obsession

To conclude, let me try to address the high demand for engineering education even when the supply of jobs in the domain is so low. According to estimates, we train more engineers than the United States and China combined. The student intake in engineering colleges has more than trebled between 2006-07 and 2012-13.

One of the reasons for this is undoubtedly the instrumentalisation of higher education. A degree in engineering unlocks social legitimacy, at a very minimum, and also opens up various other opportunities like CAT, UPSC and now entrepreneurship. Just take a note of the number of start-ups that are getting funded by VCs and how many of their founders are engineers, particularly from the IITs. And further how many of these IIT engineers had been placed in investment banks and management consultancies from their respective campuses.

The second reason is the kind of decisions we expect a secondary school student to make when she is clearly not mature enough to do so. The hyper-competitive nature of entry into the top engineering and medical colleges—medical students are only second to engineers in their rising success in UPSC civil services exams—means that the earlier the students and parents arrive at a career decision, the better it is from a preparation point of view. Some coaching institutes start preparing kids for IITs from right after their primary education. A break for a year or two during secondary and higher secondary education is considered taboo.

If we are serious about boosting diversity among our civil servants and management graduates, we should, besides making the examination system more amenable to a diverse section of students, also encourage non-engineers to work hard on their analytical skills. Needless to say, India needs many, many more jobs and a sturdy research infrastructure to absorb the glut of engineers. This will, in turn, alleviate some demand-side pressure from the civil services and management entrance examinations, thus helping achieve the goals of diversification.

As far as our higher education institutions are concerned, it is imperative for ‘knowledge’ as an instrument and an objective to regain primacy. A nation creating knowledge has a better chance of sustaining high rates of growth for long periods of time than a nation with an education system that boasts of a handful of colleges with guaranteed 100% placement while the rest struggle to even create an ecosystem of learning.

Sundar Pichai will become new CEO of Google

Sundar Pichari: New CET of Google

In a blog post Yesterday, Google co-founder Larry Page announced a massive restructuring of the company, instituting Sundar Pichai as CEO and shifting himself and co-founder Sergey Brin to a larger holding company called Alphabet. As CEO and President of Alphabet, Page and Brin will oversee Google as well as affiliated companies like the life-extension project Calico and a drone delivery venture called Wing. Alphabet will also direct Google's early-stage funding operations, dubbed Capital and Ventures. Under the new organization, each of those operations will have its own CEO and leadership, while Pichai and Google retain control of search, ads, maps, the Google Play Store, YouTube, and Android.

The reorganizaion also involves significant financial restructuring, as detailed in an associated SEC filing. All Google shares will now be traded as shares of the larger Alphabet holding company, news that drove the company's share price up more than four percentage points in the wake of the announcement. "We’ve long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes," Page writes in the post. "But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant."

Born in Tamil Nadu, India, he did his schooling from Chennai. He was the captain of his high school cricket team, and took the team to win the Tamil Nadu regional cricket tournament. He earned his Bachelor of Engineering degree from IIT Kharagpur inMetallurgical Engineering. He holds an M.S. from Stanford University and an MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named a Siebel Scholar and a Palmer Scholar.

Pichai worked in engineering and product management at Applied Materials and in management consulting at McKinsey & Company.

Pichai joined Google in 2004, where he led the product management and innovation efforts for a suite of Google's client software products, including Google Chrome and Chrome OS, as well as being largely responsible for Google Drive. He went on to oversee the development of different apps like Gmail and Google Maps. On 19 November 2009, Pichai gave a demonstration of Chrome OS and the Chromebook was released for trial and testing in 2011 and released in public in 2012 .^[11] On 20 May 2010, he announced the open-sourcing of the new video codec VP8 by Google, and introduced the new video format WebM.

On 13 March 2013, Pichai added Android to the Google products he oversees. Android was formerly managed by Andy Rubin. He was rumored to be one of the contenders for the CEO position of Microsoft in 2014.

He serves as a Member of Board of Advisors at Ruba, Inc. He was a Director of Jive Software from April 2011. till 30 July 2013. Pichai is married to Anjali Pichai and has a daughter and a son.

Highest Paid Indian executive : Nikesh Arora

Written by Shweta Rajpal Kohli | Updated: August 08, 2015 22:44 IST

NEW DELHI:  "There is a big party going on for start-ups, but some will wake up with a hangover," Nikesh Arora, President of $70 billion Japanese telecom and internet giant Softbank told NDTV in an exclusive interview. Japanese telecom giant SoftBank that owns one-third of China's Alibaba.com has also invested in a number of Indian start-ups including Snapdeal, OYO Rooms, Ola Cabs and Housing.com.

Nikesh Arora, who was the fourth most-important person at Google, quit the tech giant last year to join SoftBank. He has recently been named as the President and the successor of SoftBank by its founder Masayoshi Son. His SoftBank compensation at $135 million (approx Rs. 850 crore) makes him the highest paid India-born executive beating Microsoft's Satya Nadella and Pepsi chief Indra Nooyi.

When asked about his mind-boggling compensation, Nikesh told NDTV, "A lot of the math around my compensation is sensational. People don't have the numbers right. Yes, I do get paid well. But if I wasn't adding value. I would give it back," he said.

Nikesh Arora is now betting big on the Indian e-commerce space and looking for more start-ups to fund. "India's time has come. There will be a huge amount of growth in the next 10 years in India. Start-ups will create a new kind of consumerism in India." He says India is now more "investor friendly" and is off to a good-start.

Nikesh Arora says Softbank is investing millions of dollars in start-ups not to "sign cheques and drive up valuations. "Instead, the Japanese telecom giant is looking for ways of having a legacy that lasts 300 years by "creating the future Bill Gates, Jack Ma, Steve Jobs of the world."

Softbank's recent investment in OYO rooms, a budget hospitality start-up founded by 21-year-old school pass-out Ritesh Agarwal has created a huge buzz. Describing the young entrepreneur, Nikesh says, "I have met many entrepreneurs around the world. He (Ritesh) will match them dollar-to-dollar in his maturity and ability to talk about business, ability to absorb and ability to listen."

Over 4,400 students drop out of IITs, NITs in three years

A Times of India Report

NEW DELHI: Over 4,400 students dropped out of IITs and NITs in the last three years due to various reasons including "academic stress", the government said on Wednesday and assured that corrective actions have been initiated.

As many as 2,060 students dropped out from various Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) from 2012-13 to 2014-15, human resource development minister Smriti Irani informed the Lok Sabha during Question Hour.
 

During this three-year period, 2,352 students dropped out from the National Institutes of Technology (NITs).

"The reasons for dropouts may be attributed to shifting to other colleges/institutions, personal reasons, medical reasons, getting jobs during PG courses, inability to cope with academic stress etc," Irani said in a written reply.

In 2014-15, IITs witnessed 757 dropouts which was higher than 697 dropouts (2013-14) and 606 (2012-13). During this period, IIT Roorkee saw the highest number of dropouts at 228, followed by IIT Kharagpur (209) and IIT Delhi (169).

 
Interestingly, there were no dropouts at IITs in Mandi, Jodhpur, Kanpur, Madras and Ropar during 2014-15 period.

There are 16 IITs and 30 NITs in the country.

Of the NITs, there were 717 dropouts in 2014-15, lower than 785 seen in the year-ago period. In 2012-13, the dropout numbers stood at 850.

Irani said there is a mechanism for helping students who are under stress. The government is committed to address issues related to academic stress, she added.
