Engineering in India 
For most of the people in India including engineering students, the answer is very easy. They call themselves engineers after 4 years completion of their course. It means that they they are engineers just by degree and not by skills.
The definition of being an engineer is limited to an "Engineering Degree" in hand, rather than whether the person is actually having any engineering Degrees wont give you jobs, skills do. Out of all the computer science graduates in India, only 15 - 20% can actually pass fizz buzz test, only 5 - 10% would be able to utilize proper data structures and algorithms when it comes to problem solving. I have myself interviewed candidates ranging from fresh graduates to 7 - 8 years experienced professionals, but they were not able to tell me basics like time complexity of their approach, basic data structures like BST or basic algorithms like merge sort or binary search.
Problems
The problem is not with students, they will learn what they are taught. The problem is with quality of education and mushrooming colleges in every single s
- Exams: When it comes to exams, almost all the students buy a book famously called with name "Shivani". It is like a guide book with a set of defined questions and answers.
- Professors are so lazy that they will pick the questions word to word from the same Shivani book, which students were mugging without understanding.
- Most of the professors are B.E or M. Tech students passed out from the same college where they are teaching.
- Assignments: Direct copy paste from Wikipedia and other web sources. 100% plagiarism. Taking the print outs and submitting it.
- Projects: Almost all the photocopy shops have readymade projects available with them. One can easily buy a project ranging from Rs. 100 - 1000. Project submitted by student x at college a, will also be submitted by student y at college b. For CS grads, the projects are available with working code. So, basically the students submit the project and code, without writing or understanding a single piece of it. In case of EC students also, working electronic circuits and projects are available based on how much you want to spend.
- VIVA: Profs be like - What the hell is this? I am more interested in my samosa and tea. Oh you look pretty, let me give you good marks without asking a single question.
- Young passed out profs (from same college) flirting with girls and taking advantage of them with the promise of giving good marks.
- High trend of going to programming coaching classes. Almost all the students go to one or the other coaching classes where they are taught so called 'programming' in java or .net or c/c++ or php. They will be taught how to run loops and write if else conditions, but they will not be taught concepts of DS and Algo, along with its implementation. During one of my summer vacations, I also joined one such famous coaching institute in MP Nagar Bhopal because I wanted to experience this programming coaching culture and also it was very cheap Rs. ~2000. I noticed that third and fourth year students were learning, what they should learn in their first or second semester.
- Boys students are more interested in setting a girlfriend rather than setting up their own life. I can say with 100% surety that almost all the college girls in Bhopal must have witnessed some sort of harassment(sexual and mental) over phone by their fellow male classmates/young profs from same college or another college.

- FROM GOVERNMENT ENGINEERING COLLEGE*--
I can go on and on, but this is the condition of central education hub which I have witnessed. I am not saying 100% students are like that, but this is the trend. Not 100%, but 90% are following the same trend which I mentioned above in bullet points. Remaining 10% hardworking students are skilled engineers who are definitely not jobless.
Computer Science Engineering
BENEFITS -- 1) highly qualified and experienced teacher
2) more respect in society
3)high innovation
4)high salary package
5)life time tag of the respective government college
DISADVANTAGE--- 1) average /poor quality accommodation
2)professor may act as hitler / may face discrimination
3)lots of distraction
- FROM PRIVATE ENGINEERING COLLEGE*--
ELIGIBILITY-- various engineering college entrance exams
BENEFITS-- 1) good accommodation 2)good infrastructure
DISADVANTAGE--
1)less experienced professor
2)low placements scenario
3)low package
4)less value in society

Sorry for any form of inconvenience in this blog,this is my first blog and originally written by me according to personal experience in very short way. HOPPING THIS WILL BE HELPFUL.
THANK YOU.
