  • Over 90% of IITians pivot away from their engineering fields, showcasing the institute's role in shaping problem-solvers, leaders, and innovators for diverse domains in an ever-evolving world.

The article from MSN discusses the trend where many graduates from the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) end up working in fields different from their original academic disciplines. It highlights that despite the rigorous selection process and the prestige associated with IITs, a significant number of IITians do not pursue careers aligned with their degrees. The piece argues for a reevaluation of the branch-based admission system in IITs, suggesting that the current system might not be conducive to students' long-term career satisfaction or societal needs. It points out that the pressure to conform to a specific branch can stifle interdisciplinary learning and innovation. The article calls for a more flexible educational approach that allows students to explore various interests, potentially leading to more fulfilling careers and contributions to diverse fields. This shift could also better prepare students for the dynamic job market where skills from multiple disciplines are increasingly valued.
