UST- A Legitimate Concept - the new way ahead.
An initiative taken by our respected director Prof. P. B. Sharma has provided an ignition to the notion of transforming D e l h i college of engineering into university of science & technology. The proposal has received a mixed response among the government circles with lobbying both in favour and against the proposal. An idea considered revolutionary considering that it has been on the back burner for years now can transform the face of DCE into a hub of research ,science and technopreneurship.
UST shall create the much needed environment for Seamlessness between science and engineering and promote inter-disciplinary engineering and provide a boost to India’s Technopreneurship capabilities. The UST campus shall gravitate with the excitement of Science and thrill of engineering attracting the best talent in the faculty and in the student community.
India’s technical education system has remained largely devoid of synergy between science and engineering. The problem is further compounded due to rapid growth along UG education in engineering,creating a void for scientific research and innovations. Compared to this, the international scenario has witnessed the rise of world class institutions in great numbers in the developed economy. The DPR of the UST has mapped the strengths and opportunities created by the UST’s such as MIT, ... Stanford, Georgia tech, Carnegie Mellon, NUS and NTU of Singapore, Imperial College London and Universities of S&T in France and Switzerland.
| DID YOU KNOW?? |
| India spends currently less than 1% of its GDP on R&D as against 4-6% in US, China and Japan. |
| The Manpower base of scientist and engineers in India is 1/100th of US and 1/50th of Korea as per total population. It is 1/3rd that of China. |
| This also reflects in India’s much lower share of global scientific output, estimated as 1.58% in 1998 (Govt. of India Planning Commission Report 2006). |
| A possible reason is lack of synergy between science and engineering and poor industry relevance. |
Placements Unruffled by Recession.
Even when the entire world facing an economic slump and global recruitments are declining, the placements at the premier institutes like Delhi College of Engineering are unperturbed. The ongoing recession however as lead to a scarcity of jobs in the corporate world but the workforce demand has not been vandalised absolutely. Thus making them go for the premier institutes instead of the indecorous ones.
At DCE, the placements begin by April and continue till May in the following year. Till December 2008,DCE has recorded stupendous placements with packages as high as 13 lacs. About 435 students have been placed so far which include 70 multiple recruitments .Reputed PSU's like IOCL, NTPC, HPCL, BHEL and many others have already picked various students from our campus. Many more recruiters are yet to visit the campus in the ongoing academic session and further boost up in the placements is expected. Statistics provided in the histogram themselves show that the placements have not been dampened by recession. The average package of all ranches is rising each year. Thus the statistics themselves speak for the legacy that DCE possesses.
