There are many engineering colleges but hardly any students are able to get employment today. The main reason is the increasing number of engineers and limited seats, the competition has risen for even a low-paying job out there.
This scheme is needed to increase the culture of education among the students and to have a hand in research. The primary purpose of this scheme is to provide support to engineering students. This scheme will provide them financial assistance who wishes to go ahead in their technical field and apply to some kind of abroad competition.
