Revamp the First-Year Curriculum in Indian Engineering colleges

The current system mandates students—regardless of their chosen field of specialization—to study a random assortment of subjects, which have little to no relevance to their chosen discipline. This is bad because:
1. This wastes a lot of time as First-year engineering students are required to study irrelevant subjects for an entire year
2. This makes zero logical sense because everyone who studies engineering (CS, information technology, etc) have taken Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) in high school. Forcing them to learn biology—a subject they haven’t studied for years—places an unfair burden and often results in poor academic performance, impacting their motivation.
3. This creates a huge gap between the students around the world and students in India because the rapidly evolving tech and engineering landscape demands early exposure to specialization subjects. By delaying core subject education, students fall behind their international peers, impacting their competitive edge and employability.
4.) For someone who wishes to specialise in a subject, the education system leaves them no choice but to do third party certifications to keep up with the rest of the world which places unimaginable academic pressure on the students and completely negates any value the degree offers.
