Exam dates clash, engg, medical aspirants stumped:

BERHAMPUR: Students who have applied for the JEE (Advanced) for admission in IIT, Jawaharlal Institute of Post-Graduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER) and All India Institute Medical Science (AIIMS) for MBBS, are in a dilemma as at least two of the entrance tests are on June 2, while one of the tests is scheduled for June 1. The JEE (Advanced) and the entrance test for MBBS admission in JIPMER, Puducherry, will be held on June 2 and the test for admission in AIIMS is scheduled for June 1. The examination centre for state candidates for the JEE (Advanced) and AIIMS is in Bhubaneswar, while the nearest entrance test centre for JIPMER is in Kolkata. Engineering and medical aspirants, who have applied for all three tests, will have to miss at least one test, probably the entrance for the JIPMER as the JEE (Advanced) test is clashing on the same day (June 2). Worried aspirants have urged officials to reschedule one of the tests. "I have applied for the AIIMS and JIPMER. I also qualified to appear in the JEE (Advanced). Although I am keen to appear all the tests, it won't be possible," said Subhra Kant Mishra, an aspirant in Berhampur. Around 1,000 students from the state are expected to take all three tests for admission to engineering and medical courses, said Sudhir Rout, tutor of a private institute. There should have been a gap of at least one week between the tests, he added. Source:THE TIMES OF INDIA

Engineering: How average students find good careers:

There has been another report stating that engineering students are not employable, particularly those from tier 2 and 3 institutes.

Other reports state that there is a mismatch between areas that students are graduating in and the jobs available.

In the case of Engineering, this means that projects get delayed as firms have to spend more to re-train freshers in the skills required.

About 3.5 lakh students graduated in Engineering in 2012. Out of this, 4.5 percent are employable in firms such as Microsoft. This 4.5 percent mainly comes from the IITs and NITs.

Streams students graduated in:

32.5% - Computer Science & IT
21.8% - Electronics
17.7% - Mechanical

What do students from tier 2/3 institutes lack?

Employers state that engineering graduates from tier 2 and 3 lack four main skills:

- Domain knowledge
- Ability to understand the business context
- Ability to interact with the customer
- Advanced technology skills and cloud computing

What can students do about this?

The first three are quite simple:

- Have a thorough grasp of your field by understanding concepts
- Take communication classes seriously if they are offered in your Engineering course
- Group projects and social activities provide an opportunity to develop skills in interaction
- Develop an interest in the business aspects. An MBA may be helpful

The good news is that because competition is so intense for Tier 1 institutes, firms are looking to recruit from Tier 2 and 3 institutes.

So if your communication and concepts are good, you have an edge over other students.
