Speaking at the Hyderabad Jumbo Job Fair being hosted by Shine.com & Hucon on Saturday at MJ College, Reddy, said, “Last year the IT sector added 2.3 lakh jobs and will employ that many people this year as well.
The industry is growing and there is no truth in the apprehension of its slowing down. The opportunities for students are enormous, but are the challenges too. We don't expect the students coming out of engineering colleges to be industry ready, but at least be exposed to the latest technologies. For this the curriculum has to be dynamic.
The courseware has to be updated to keep the students abreast with the latest technologies. The methodologies of teaching need to change to make it more interesting, innovation should be brought in to accomplish this.” Ramesh Loganathan, President, HYSEA, added, “To improve the engineering education here, we need to adopt teaching methods of institutions like IIT.
They lay more emphasis on hands on experience and experiential learning. We have to do something to create excitement in the students. If we can get them excited we can get much more productivity. If all of us join hands, we can bring a change.” 32 MNCs offered jobs to over 6,500 aspirants on the first day of the fair itself.
