Sandeep Goenka (Director, ECube Global College) Elucidates The Importance of International Alliances for Engineering Students

Continued...Thus began the journey of ECube, where students spend the first year on the Thane campus, and are expected to apply to enter the second year of the corresponding degree course at the Newcastle University. To further this mission, Mr. Goenka hopes for the day that India’s education policy opens up, so that they can help in creation of a full-fledged masters education programme within India. As of now, he claims that ECube’s USP lies in the comfort that the student group experiences during the course owing to the smooth transition after school, along with increased chances of success in the field of engineering.

ECube’s salient strength also lies in its small batch size of a maximum of 26 students per stream, as opposed to 70 to 80 in many other places, says Mr. Goenka. These students have all requisite facilities available to them for their first year of study, which includes access to Newcastle University’s resource-intensive library. Besides, Newcastle University is part of the Russell Group, a collaboration of 20 universities in the UK , which brings with it a whole host of benefits such as the recruiter’s preference for a degree from a reputed university.

On a similar note, Mr. Goenka admits that research conducted at academic institutions abroad is usually more application-based than that in India, which is a reason why ECube is also promoting workshops for its students to gain first-hand experience. Besides, they are also looking to tap into more of Newcastle University’s 250 programmes and bring them to their campus in India. Since the sector is still opening up in India, there seem to be no clear threats in the horizon for Mr. Goenka’s plan. “Being in its nascent stage, we have a healthy level of competition in education in India. This brings lots of opportunities for students and ECube,” affirms he. One such opportunity is his dream project of having a full-fledged Newcastle University setup with ECube, as the sector opens up over the next two to three years. Click here to read More articles...
