There is tremendous demand for technical education in engineering which results in isomorphic growth in private organizations or engineering colleges. The advent of FDI and world class campuses in India, twinning programs and faculty exchange programs, promises lucrative prospectus in the future of engineering education. With the initiatives, there are some challenges which are to be faced with difficult situation. The paper tries to elaborate on the challenges and discuss some of the problems with solutions.
