In today’s era, the term ‘technology’ is becoming a vital aspect as we’re seeing loads of transformation in various sectors through the help of innovation and technology. Additionally, the increased internet penetration in India is also stimulating the creativity of engineering in multifold divisions whether it is about attracting tourists to standardized hospitality through OYO Rooms or making an ease of taxi arrangement for commuters via apps like Ola Cabs. In simple words, we can say that the engineering has been revolutionized because it’s no longer only about constructing structures but also about crafting the software and mobile applications.
This way we can conclude that the future of engineering is all about opportunities in India particularly. We’ve seen the evolution of IT sector in cities like Bangalore, Delhi, and Mumbai as people with engineering background entered the internet industry with different innovations whether it is Flipkart whose foundation were led by two engineering minds Sachin and Binny Bansal or Pranay Chulet, an IIT Delhi graduate, behind India’s leading online classified service named Quikr.
Having said that, as far as the IT industry is concerned, the next big thing will be Kolkata as the city has enough resources to make it bigger in IT sector. The city is equipped with high-quality engineering institutes, infrastructure, connectivity, stable governance and educated people.
So those who are seeking to pursue an undergraduate course in Kolkata then pursuing engineering courses like B.Tech and BE would be an ideal preference as these courses come with an enormous job opportunity.
