There are 1.2 billion Indians
Approximately half of them are supposed to be in the 0-25 age group
that gives us 600 million young Indians
these 600 million are fairly evenly distributed among the 0-25 age group
so about 3/26th of them in the 17-19 age group
that gives us around 69 million indians on the cusp of turning adults
of these only 35% are educated upto the 12th standard level
that leaves 24.25 million Educated indians on the cusp of turning adults
only 40% of these are in the science stream at max
so that leaves 9.7 million Educated indians on the cusp of adulthood who study science
only half of them actually think of engineering as a career
that will give 4.85 million Educated Indian Soon-to-be Engineers on the cusp of adulthood
Only about 30% know their selected branch of engineering really well.
that will leave 1,455,000 Young Indian Engineering Graduates of real calibre
only about 15% go in for higher studies beyond their bachelors degree
that will give 218,250 Young Indian Engineering Graduates Who go in for post graduation
of them half pursue an MBA
that will leave 109,125 Young Indian Engineering Post-Graduates
At the Maximum 5% of them complete a Doctorate
That will give about 5,450 Doctorates in The aforementioned long long classification of Young Indian Engineering Graduates of Some Calibre who pursue and succesfully complete their post-graduation upto the Ph.D level
Of these only 10% will go into the academic field
That gives 545 teachers who are Indian Engineering Graduates of Some Calibre Who have succesfully obtained a Doctorate
But wait i haven't finished
of these only 20% actually teach in India
The Brain Drain is real dudes ..........
so that leaves only 109 blah blah blah ........Doctorates teaching in India
of these lets say 40% teach in IIT's (the "Brand" That's on its last legs thanks to a certain Mr.Arjun Singh)
so that gives us 43 IIT professors every year
Great!!
Problem is that there are going to be 15 IIT's plus ofcourse the All - Womens IIT
So 16 IIT's
That gives every IIT less than 3 new Professors every year
And of course my dear Mr. Arjun Singh do profs ever retire ???
Can an Institution of the level of an IIT (what level people will ask 5 years down the line)
survive on getting just 3 professors of high quality every year ?????
Whew that was tiring
Hope i made my point!!
