Popis: Engineering education is facing the challenging task of creating competent engineers due to COVID-19. In the pre-COVID-19 scenario also it was facing challenges like quality of teachers, infrastructure, approach of the regulating authorities, and competitiveness. Engineering education in India is imparted through government-aided, private self-financed institutes of technologies. Engineering teachers from private engineering colleges face the problems of work environment and motivation. Politics in private engineering colleges plays a demotivational role in engineering education. The political influence and unethical practices in many organizations are killing motivation for excellence in honest teaching professionals. In staff selection also, many times, political background is taken into consideration. Management many times encourages incompetent people due to the non-technical factors that are not relevant to teaching quality. Internal politics among the staff members for hiding uncompetitiveness plays deteriorator in engineering education.
