SCHOLARSHIPS FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS

If anyone out there is thinking for a course like Diploma or ITI rather than Engineering, here is a piece of advise for you. Now a days almost everyone opt engineering course and the competition level for jobs are increasing. We have reached to a stage where even engineers without higher studies have no value. So why do you have to think of opting a course below Engineering. Let me tell you my experience- Myself after completing Engineering got job with a pay of 30,000 per month but at the same time diploma graduates will only get 12,000 per month. That means I am getting more than twice his salary and it will take a minimum of 5 years for him to reach my level. But is he really reaching my level? He will reach my level If I have no growth or If my salary remains the same. By the time he gets 30,000 per month, I will be getting a pay of 60,000 per month. The amount of increment or increase in pay per year will also be different for an Engineer and Diploma holder. That means there is huge gap between an Engineering graduate and a diploma graduate in every sense like pay, increase in pay, value, position, etc.

But still why do students opt Diploma in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc rather than Engineering. There are two possibilities which I have felt is the reason for this. The first possibility is the duration of course and students desire to enter a job and earn money as soon as possible. Diploma is a 3 year course where as Engineering is a 4 year course. And so many join Diploma, so they can finish their course fast and earn money but trust me after joining a company they regret a lot for not doing Engineering because they always have to work under an Engineer. The second possibility is the affordability of expense for Engineering. Since the fee is too much compared to Diploma many students limit their career with a Diploma course.

Well money is not a problem anymore because you can apply for scholarships and can get up to 3,00,000 per year. There are a lot of institutions and foundations who provides scholarships to students who has a strong desire to study. Scholarship preference are for students with low family income (with minimum marks of 60%) and for students with average family income who has achieved excellent marks for their 10th and 12th. Preferences are also given to outstanding students who has got prizes in dance, music, athletics, etc in the state level competition. Now a days almost all private colleges give scholarships for students with excellent marks. Scholarships are also given to minority students in India. But the problem is that the scholarship gets cancelled If you fail in any subject during your course. So try to get an average mark every semester and maintain it so that your scholarship is active for your entire course.

Everyone are searching for Engineering scholarships but the number of scholarships offered are limited. Be careful while applying for scholarships because there are a lot of fake internet sites which tells you to pay a registration fee. So be alert and don't fall into any fake internet traps. Even though Engineering scholarships are hard to get due to the rush of application forms from all over the country, do apply for the same because you might get lucky. An Engineering scholarship will change your life in all ways and you don't have to depend on anyone for your studies.
