Tips For Engineering Students To Become A Good Engineer

About a decade ago there was a massive inclination towards the profession of engineering and medical. There was a time when the vacancies and engineers produced were in a balanced ratio. And almost every family wants their child to be an engineer or doctor. But if we look at the current situation of the education system in India, there are more engineers being produced than needed. If we look at the results of engineering colleges across the country, there has been a tremendous increase in the number of graduates per year but not all of them are able to get employment. The number of engineers is more than the number of vacancies and it has become necessary that the students must have a strategic approach towards securing a good job in a reputed company after they graduate. Here are a few tips for the engineering students that should be practiced by them in order to become a commendable engineer.


The practice of maintaining notes

Most of the students of engineering colleges have a habit of depending on others for notes and essential study material. One should develop a habit of creating their own notes. The habit of writing important notes and facts during the lectures is very advantageous for the students as it helps them in being attentive regarding what is being taught. What is discussed and what needs to be focused, for this it is necessary to make their own notes to oversee the topic.
