When we talk about engineering, the one simple definition that comes in our mind is the study which relates to science and technology to build, design, construct goods or services for the human good. 

Engineering has a very ancient history in the world. It comes from the 14th century when people designed things like wheels, levers, wedges etc. From the 14th century to now, the career of an engineer has not gone extinct and it will never go extinct. 

Engineering is a very prominent career especially in countries like India which are in their developing stages. We need engineers who can help us grow through technology, infrastructure, machines, IT etc. 

India has 7000+ engineering colleges and every year millions of students aspire to become an engineer. Engineering is an extremely fast branch of study and knowledge and comes further with various specializations such as computer science engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering etc.  A student is given a choice to choose from the variety of specializations. There are almost 100 specializations of engineering available in India.

Generally, engineering is a 4-year graduate course for students who wish to have deep knowledge in it. After that, they can do a 2-year master’s course which gives an advanced level of knowledge and skills in engineering. Also, a student who just wishes to have basic knowledge in engineering or wants to do a diploma, can go for polytechnics. Diploma colleges for engineering are called polytechnic colleges.
