This documentary explores the dark reality of engineering education and the tech industry in India. From entrance exam pressure and college life to mental health struggles, job insecurity, and systemic failures, the video questions whether the engineering dream truly guarantees a secure future.
This documentary traces the entire journey of engineering in India — from its birth as a nation-building force to the complex crisis it faces today.
After independence, engineering became the backbone of India’s development. Engineers built dams, factories, railways, power plants, and later shaped India’s entry into the global technology era. Indian engineers earned worldwide respect, especially during the Y2K crisis, when they played a crucial role in saving global systems and positioning India as an IT powerhouse.
Following this success, engineering transformed from a profession into a national dream. For decades, Indian parents believed engineering was the safest path to stability, respect, and a better future. Coaching centers grew, entrance exams became life-defining events, and engineering colleges multiplied across the country.
Today, more than 15 lakh students graduate as engineers every year in India. But the reality after graduation is far more difficult. Only a small percentage manage to secure core engineering or IT jobs, while the majority are forced to shift to unrelated sectors, not by choice, but by survival.
The competition for IT jobs has become brutal. Candidates face multiple interview rounds, constant skill filtering, and unrealistic expectations. Even after getting a job, many engineers encounter toxic work culture, extreme pressure, long working hours, and unstable career paths. In recent years, mass layoffs by major IT companies have shown that job security is no longer guaranteed, even for skilled professionals.
This documentary does not blame students, parents, or companies alone. It questions a system that produces millions of engineers without preparing them for real-world demands — emotionally, technically, or mentally.
But this film is not just about problems.
It also explores solutions.
The documentary explains how an engineering student can:
Adapt to rapid industry changes
Build real, future-proof skills beyond college syllabus
Survive intense competition without burning out
Level up professionally, earn hikes, and move toward high-paying roles
Redefine success beyond marks, degrees, and societal pressure
This is a documentary about engineering dreams, system failures, harsh realities, and smart survival.
If you are an engineering student, working professional, parent, or educator — this film will help you understand where we went wrong, where we stand today, and how we can move forward.
