20 years back, there were only few (say, 10~20) educational institutions (IITs & Government colleges) around India that offered engineering degrees. So, getting into them were really hard and only few of the bright students could make it into these engineering colleges. And these institutions produced real engineers, who are all now in higher levels at several tech/Govt companies. Now, there are at least 500 'Engineering' colleges in my state itself (Tamilnadu). Most of them were started by politicians just to make money. Providing quality education is not their objective, but to lure the not-so-bright students join Engineering after taking a huge money from him/her (they call it as 'Donation', but it is mandatory). So, when these students complete Engineering degree from these so called 'engineering' colleges, they are getting a degree just for the namesake. They are not accumulating the knowledge like an IIT student. Obviously, they struggle to find a good job without proper knowledge. It is very sad that everything (education, health, even basic necessities like water) has become a business in India. Money-making is the people's only motive and they forget ethics. :(
