Defense industry is a subset of overall industrialization and indignation of Industry as a whole
i.e
Manufacturing, Production, Assembling, Testing, R&D, Metal Casting, Plastics Processing / Extrusion , Electronics, AI , Computers & accreditation.
Its also a function of Vision & Policy -
You can either Prefer Crude assembles [First Crawl then Walk] and invest in 'em
OR import based SROs.
Academia converges to the needs of Local industry and produces Engineers / Technicians taught / mentored . coached by Visiting faculties of seasoned professionals who Have Been there - Done that.
In a country where Democratic systems have taken a back Seat to Military in overall terms - the same reflection goes all around the society.
Trainee Engineers at BE level taught by Academic teachers of most universities get employment at few thousand rupees per month just to see engineering in practice,
rather than whats being taught by Books which are essentially 3 decades old.
Hence most of 'em choose to switch careers after BE to MBA or to Computer Systems [SAP / Oracle etc] or apply for jobs / future studies in foreign countries.
Reality Bites.
Sorry to digress a bit.
