An eye opener for students and parents

I want to thank Mr.Sivakumar Palaniappan sir for this wonderful book. I would suggest this book to the students who want to do engineering, parents who want their children to get into engineering, engineering students and staffs of engineering college. The difference between Engineers and Engineering graduates has been portrayed beautifully. Every aspect of engineering has been explained clearly. The best part is the difference between "HOBBIES AND TIME WASTERS". Being an Engineering student ...

Fantastic Book

This book rightly addressed the current situation of Engineering education. Though we have a very high number of engineering colleges in the southern part of the country, we still have the gap between engineering education and the industry requirements. We have millions of engineers graduating every year, but still the industry is not happy with the standard of knowledge which an engineer has. Though we are having the engineering degrees, but we lack the skill required for the industry. Even ...

Must read for Engineers!

I am a Psychology student with catholic views, which brought me a interest in understand knowing how an ideal Engineering graduate should be like. I gained myriad of insights through it. A conventional adage goes this way, "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest".

A lot of students choose Engineering as their career without even knowing what it is. I would appreciat...

Engineers must grab a copy of this book for sure :)

I personally know about the author Mr.Sivakumar Palaniappan through a seminar program about Industry Connect. I found him looking similar to Chetan Bhagat and by his 1st book "Become an Engineer Not Just an Engineering Graduate" Mr.Siva proved my idea was absolutely right.
The entire book was focused upon the importance of Core Engineering at various fields.Not just IT is engineering, we can work for our passion through core area.Additional details for campus preparations and attitude enhance...

A must read for all the students

A wonderful read. Comes at a right time when my daughter has to decide on her future studies. The best part of the book is, it is not too preachy and the message is conveyed via personal experiences which are more impactful.
Thanks to the author - this book is not confined to just students but also very helpful for the parents.
I guess it would be a good read for not only the engineering aspirants but all the students
