Since time immemorial, education has beenholistic topic in Indian culture and the "Gurukul" kind of educationhas been the root of current scenario of higher education in India. Inerstwhile India, Gurukul was the place where the teachers used to teachtheir students with strict discipline and gave them quality educationthat has never been an exception since period of Vedas. For kings, thiseducation was looked upon as holistic and students used to practice allthose subjects more holistically. Education for children hasbeen an issue of immense importance amongst every household in India.Be it Engineering, medical, electronics, humanities or any otherdiscipline, proper higher education in any field is considered veryimportant. Talking of higher education in engineering, the alliedcolleges are affiliated to All India Council for Technical EducationAICTE. The institute keeps the quality of education at par with theinternational standards, which is heritage India. All engineeringcolleges or institutes offer post graduate (ME or MTech) programmes andthere are number of private and government colleges available in plentyunder each State of India and under almost universities providingdegree and PG in professional courses such as engineering disciplines.Indiahas some of top engineering institutions in the world that offercheapest, affordable and superior quality medical, dental andengineering courses. Higher education in engineering is considered veryimportant as it leads you directly into a job, or at least definesparticular career and area of work. Also, there are several jobopportunities for which further formal education is neither necessarynor required. Still there are number of students who are not surewhether they want to opt for these courses or instead they shouldexplore avenues of their own interest. The general sciencedegree exposes the student to a variety of subjects and by the time onecompletes three year of study, they get a fair idea of what intereststhem. There are several fields where a job is possible even after abasic engineering graduation degree but obtaining a master's degreehelps the candidates in a long run. Now the question arises, what isexactly the advantage of post-graduate degree? For many, a candidatewith a post-graduate degree is considered more favorably in the jobmarket. Post graduate qualification is highly important inprofessional fields such as engineering. Taking an example of largeengineering or consulting firms, one will find out that almost allthose who head departments hold a master's degree apart from those whohave proved themselves in long period of offering service.Under-estimating the power of master's degree in any discipline ishighly important and proves out to be very beneficial for buildingcareer in any stream. This is the reason why numerous students areopting for post graduate degree after pursuing graduation inengineering.
