ENGINEERING THE FUTURE

ZEE 24 TAAS & RAO IIT ENGINEERING THE FUTURE

THEME: Engineering the Future is a three-city student-parent-teacher guidance & counselling 

seminar activity on ‘Importance of engineering education to India’s growth’ to be organized 

between May 23 and June 13, 2015. 

CONCEPT: The Government of India’s “The Make in India” campaign may well herald the 

‘Third Industrial Revolution’! For transforming India through an engineering intervention, it is 

imperative that we create technocrats who are capable of building bridges between science, 

technology and society. While our students are a bright lot and aspire to set step into the 

hallowed portals of the IITs as this guarantees a complete ROI on the years spent, very few have 

the wherewithal (correct mindset and knowhow) to crack the competitive exams and achieve 

their goal. Zee 24 Taas, Zee Business and Rao’s IIT Academy have joined hands to guide these 

aspirants to gear up for the great career battle!

BENEFICIARIES: Students who have appeared for Std. X exam (and are inclined towards 

Engineering/ IIT aspirants) and their Parents.
