Workshop on engineering prospects for NRI students

Hyderabad Association conducted a workshop on “Engineering prospects in India and abroad,” highlighting the opportunities for aspirants of engineering admissions.
Association President Mirza Zaheer Baig, scientist at King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (KFUPM), in his welcome address stressed the importance of education.
“Education has an immense impact on today’s latest developments and trends. To facilitate the Gulf NRI students who are currently not exposed to the admissions, Hyderabad Association has taken the initiative to disseminate the information on engineering admissions to the students studying in the Kingdom,” he said.
In his keynote presentation, Shuja Mohammed Sheriff, a civil engineer, briefed the audience on admission prospects. The presentation gave exposure to the prospects for engineering studies in India, Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Bahrain and Malaysia with in-depth knowledge of eligibility requirements by the universities, fee structure and hostel facilities. The topic disseminated information of admission prospects all over India and in particular the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
Referring to the undergraduate engineering admission prospects at KFUPM, Baig said: “Students should explore different professions, and understand and judge which one suits them the best, whether engineering, medicine, journalism, management, hospital administration or teaching.”
He believes that the first and foremost thing is to acquire education. Aside from pursuing a professional career, the purpose of knowledge is also to become a responsible citizen to practice, spread truth and justice. A recent US survey has revealed that Indians are among the biggest spenders on education for their children.
A report released by UNESCO notes the average school expenditure of an Indian family is about 28 percent of their income. Indian parents who can afford have been instrumental in educating their children. Over the decades, the results are projected by today’s economic growth and the dominance in every sector and presence of Indian Diaspora across the world.
Hai Khan of Dammam Central Hospital reviewed the association’s activities. Abdul Waris of KFUPM conducted the proceedings. Salahuddin Adil delivered the vote of thanks. Mohammed Irfan, Mohammed Ismail, Abdul Rauf, Asif Mohiuddin, M. Abdul Moiz and M.A. Waheed were among the prominent attendees.
