Craze of engineering
Even after so many layoffs, low salary of engineers , the craze of engineering is not going down. Every year 10lack students are writing jee , even if half of them will do engineering somehow then where will they get jobs ? It is just increasing the saturation of the market, which eventually decreases salaries, And now this AI God knows when it will come to an end 😮💨
It will come to a brutal end when AI becomes much better in the next 2-3 years. There will be far fewer SWE jobs.

For lower class (economically), engineering, medicine, and prestigious government jobs are a way to break the chains of poverty.
For middle class (economically), these options are a way to elevate their socio-economic standards.
Unless and until better alternatives don't come up at scale, the traditional route will continue to exist.

This government will surely do something. Yuva has always been their focus

Sarcasm ?
It will take a generation to get out of the mentality of rat race, and have a passion based approach to job
We do not have enough engineers in India, we need more. Degree != engineering.
Engineers are totally needed! We should question the flood of computer engineers. I know my market, and I see we don't need so many computer engineers. A lot among us are not quality and could be easily replaced. AI is doing a great job by automating all pattern based work including a lot of work base level computer engineers do. May replace me too one day, no worries there. I'll put my intellect in some other field. Why not choose other streams? invest time in Agro tech, chemical, industrial, mechanical/ robotics or any other engineering. Or create jobs in these industries, bring some innovation there.

JEE is not same as other engineering. a Entry in any of the second class IIT can set you up for generational wealth. IIT degree offers edge in your MBA selection. a sabbatical or a career break will not matter, failed entrepreneurship will be seen as a great experience.
compared to last 10 years there is big drop in the number of engineering graduates in our country. Tamilnadu isa example. There are multiple engineering colleges that are closing or available for sale every year. Last time i checked many college are not able to fill their seats.
Engineering has a negative premium in the social circle.
