Career, Scope and Growth in Textile Engineering in India

Textile engineering means clothing people in a way that they get good jobs. It is in fact a science of appearance which greatly improves the personality of people. It is a fashion language with designed clothes as the word goes. And the clothes are never cheap. You may call them economical or more modern word is ‘chic’. The point to impress upon here is that textile is a very integral part of man since ages but surprisingly textile engineering is not very common among engineering institutes. A sudden spurt in this field of engineering has taken the country by surprise.

It is worth mentioning here that Indian Textile Industry plays a very vital role in the economic growth of the nation and we are the emerging leaders in this field. It accounts for a glaring 6% share in GDP and also keeps India at the second position after China worldwide. It also contributes 17% in Forex earnings and interestingly textile forms 14% of the total industrial outputs in India.

Going by the above facts, it is certainly the second largest employer as well and already has about 110 million people working in this trade. The recent 2018-19 Union Budget has given clear indications by allocating Rs. 7000/- crores that Textile sector still has major untapped potential which indicates at still greater opportunities for textile engineers.

For the students of Haryana, Delhi NCR and North India an opportunity exists to pursue textile engineering at Panipat Institute of Engineering and Technology (PIET), the top Textile Engineering Colleges in India. This institute is approved by AICTE for its qualitative education standards. The same is affiliated to Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, awarded with A+ rating by NAC and an autonomous university declared by UGC.

The vision of the PIET management for choosing a location on Delhi-Panipat Road, 50 minutes travel from Delhi border and 20 minutes to Panipat is commendable. The location is ideal because Panipat is the textile hub of Haryana, a city abound in yarn and fabric manufacturing with a +3000 crore of annual export business. The campus is vast covering 19 acres and takes in its fold Haryana and Delhi NCR all round including villages, towns and cities. They are on way to be a global campus and have already started with neighboring countries of India and response is over whelming. Very recently they have signed am MoU with Chungbuk National University, South Korea to promote research and student exchange programmes.

Panipat Institute of Engineering and Technology is the top Textile Engineering Colleges in India which adds innovative and vibrant young leaders and entrepreneurs to the realm of the country who are capable of contributing to all dimensions of Technical Textiles for development and productivity, which have been developed and trained to meet challenges and build upon opportunities as, when and where they arise. As the target is global, so are the building designs and infrastructure and every aspect is well planned and world beating.
