Five years ago, Nayakanti Naga Bhavya Sree experienced two life-changing moments. As she was announced the female topper in JEE Advanced 2023, she reflected on her father’s decision to send her to Hyderabad to pursue her IIT dream and the influence of former President of India Dr APJ Abdul Kalam’s speeches on YouTube. To this day, Kalam remains one of her biggest role models.

“Kalam sir spoke about fearlessness in the face of failure and staying composed during adversities. These ideas deeply resonated with me and continue to inspire me. I believe in giving my best and leaving the rest to destiny. My drive comes from the desire to establish my identity in society, and over these five years, I was confident that securing a top rank would bring me closer to my dreams,” Bhavya shared with indianexpress.com.

Recently, during my travels, I have met alumni from IIT Madras who pursued careers in big four companies, such as marketing or high-frequency trading. When asked about their (engineering) background, it becomes apparent that their career choices are completely unrelated to what they have studied. It’s a waste of resources,” V Kamakoti said

The decision was taken in the over seven-hour-long meeting chaired by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan during which the proposal to subsume the JEE Advanced in a common entrance for engineering colleges faced resistance from directors and chairpersons of many IITs.

While job opportunities will always have some impact on what fraction of students take up engineering as a career, the question is whether our society, schools and IITs can do something to reduce the number of students who lose interest in engineering or science education.

We need to understand the root cause of this problem. There are myths in our society about what constitutes science and what constitutes engineering. Read the complete explainer here
