The number of Engineers in the country have been on the rise in the country while the number of doctors have been declining. Some of the main reasons could be as follows:
- Mushrooming of Large number of Engineering colleges in the country which has led to huge increase in the total number of Engineers graduating everyday
- Less number of Govt Medical Colleges in the country
- High Capitation fees for admission in Private medical college as compared to private engineering colleges
- Traditional gender roles in which girls are suitable to become doctors but they do not get adequate study facilities. Thus they fail to become doctors
- Course duration of MBBS is longer as compared to a B. Tech course which leads to students being attracted towards Engineering Courses
- Wide variety of courses available in Engineering courses from Computer science, IT, Mechanical etc while the undergraduate course in Medicine does not offer such specialisation and becomes monotonous for a medicine student
The Implication for such a rise are as follows:
Negative Effect
- The status of healthcare and medicine in the country is decreasing as there are shortages of doctors. Rural areas are the worst hit as doctors do not want to practice medicine in such areas
- Most of the engineers graduating, do not posses required skills to be recruited by a company. Hence unemployment is on the rise.
- The salary given to engineers are less due to huge supply
Positive Effects:
- India has become an IT hub due to high number of IT professionals.
- Engineers are using their technical knowledge to open start ups and generating employment opportunities.
However a balance should be maintained in the number of Doctors and Engineers graduating as both technical and medical skills are essential for any developing country.
