With the dawn of a new era in education, South India and more specifical­ly, Tamil Nadu has become the stellar spot for technical education in the country. Tamil Nadu, historical­ly renowned for learning and teaching methods has seen many stalwarts from Sir CV Raman to President APJ Abdul Kalam who have undertaken their training here. With the highest number of universiti­es in India, the state of

Tamil Nadu is now seeing a resurgence in technical education. Administra­tors, professors and teachers are constantly equipping themselves with new methods of pedagogy to elevate students to a whole new level of educationa­l experience. Students are flocking the state not just from various parts of India but also from South Asian and Gulf countries. Scholarshi­ps are being awarded generously to students based on merit, economic

need and performanc­e in entrance examinatio­ns, etc. The quality of technical education is setting high standards for the country. It is being undertaken with a keen focus of industry ready individual­s thereby simulating real time conditions for the students to work in. This enhances their in-depth knowledge of the subject while at the same time preparing them for a career of their choice. As a consequenc­e students work and study in a learner--

friendly the-art environmen­t with state-of-technology. As they say, a man without education is like a building without a foundation and higher education in Tamil Nadu is nurturing students today to be towering figures in technical expertise. The academics are on par with internatio­nal standards as emphasis is laid on research and developmen­t activities. Students are encouraged to innovate with patents being awarded to deserving findings.
