STEM education – India’s next frontier
View(s):India’s love affair with STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) has stood the test of time – from the urban architecture of the Indus Valley civilisation 3000 years back to being the IT super power in the 21stcentury.
STEM education has sculpted the modern face of humanity – With the rapid advancements in science and technology, the demand for STEM students has never been higher and the quality of STEM education in India is touching new heights. Indian universities have led from the front in STEM education – and it shows in the rapid strides that India has made in the world of science
LEADING FROM THE FRONT, ALWAYS – India has proven its mettle in the STEM sector. Be it the invention of zero or completing the mission to mars at earth shattering cost or launching a record 104 satellites on a single rocket, Indian has arrived on the global STEM map and is ready to take on fiercest of the challenges posed.
ONE DEGREE FOR THE WORLD- The Republic of India signed the Washington accord in 2014. The Washington Accord recognises that there is a substantial equivalence of engineering programmes accredited by the signatories of the major countries of the world. Therefore, an Indian engineering degree from top tier institutes, in India is recognized across the globe. http://www.nbaind.org/global-presessence.
IIT – 1 IN 1500 ADMISSION RATIO MADE EASY– The Indian institute of technology has been the golden standard of STEM education in India and is ranked amongst the top institutions in the world. Over 1.5 million students seek admission to IIT, out of which only 10,000 are selected. Through Study in India, International students can access supernumerary seats (seats specially reserved for foreign nationals) which increases your chances to get admission to IIT.
CAMPUSES EQUIPPED FOR STEM TRAINING– The Indian campuses are now equipped with the best facilities like smart class platforms like VR and AR, Learning Management Systems, incubation labs to provide training to the STEM students. You get free Wi-Fi access at most the campuses. Moreover, the teachers are masters in their field and are passionate about sharing their knowledge. From partnerships with Ohio State University leading to the establishment of the Indo-U.S. Center of Excellence in STEM Education and Research, to building an advanced STEM ER structure at the Jahangirabad Institute of Technology in Gorakhpur, DVE, to hosting the World Robot Olympiad 2016. STEM education has penetrated in the heart of Indian education.
WORK WITH THE BEST – With global tech giants like Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, Google present in the country, top universities have a strong industry partnerships leading to industry linked cutting edge curriculum for technology courses – potentially opening to global careers with these companies. Bangalore which contributed $45 billion dollar of IT exports annually is one of the largest IT hubs in the world.
THE BEST OR NOTHING– There are 3300+ institutes across India offering technical courses. The selected 100+ institutes brought to you by Study in India has been filtered by NIRF and NAAC who recognize all the listed institutes and ensure that the students get the very best of STEM education. The list includes top colleges like IIT, NIT, DTU etc. – The STEM courses in India ARE in harmony with the latest trends in market. Courses cover all the latest topics like machine learning, applied sciences, Nano-technology etc.
THE AGE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE– Machine learning is talk of the town and has changed the way any businesses are operating now. Companies are opting for more data driven strategies. According to the future of jobs report 2018, 73% of the industry is likely to adopt machine learning by 2022. Moreover, the Government of India announced the development of a National AI portal in the interim budget 2019-20. It is a smart idea to equip you with the right knowledge for a trend that is bound to go mainstream.
LET’S TINKER TO INNOVATE– Atal Tinkering Labs have been established to foster STEM learning prospective at an early age. ATL contains educational and learning ‘do it yourself’ kits and equipment on – science, electronics, robotics, open source microcontroller boards, sensors and 3D printers and computers. Other desirable facilities include meeting rooms and video conferencing facility. They have been established to foster STEM learning prospective at an early age, and Atal innovation centres are available in most top institutes in the country – giving a unique opportunity to bring innovative ideas to life.
FUTURE PROOFING YOUR CAREER/ A FUTURE PROOF CAREER - As per the National Science Foundation, it is predicted that 80% of the jobs created in the next decade will require some form of math and science skills. We are now at a stage where the number of STEM jobs are growing at a fast pace and currently exceeding the number of STEM graduates. To balance the demand, we are designing better graduate education for the STEM workforce. The Indian government is currently promoting initiatives such as Make in India, Skill India and Digital India to encourage manufacturing, technology usage and skill development.
When you are here in India, it is easy to sense the “STEM movement” in full force. The environment you are going to live in will motivate you in your endeavours while the courses are going to give you the technical edge required. We believe intellect gained from STEM courses when applied along with compassion for nature is the right way humans can coexist in peace and harmony. Take the first step in this direction by choosing from the state of the art STEM courses from Study in India portal.
