In the recent years more of talented engineering graduates are diverting
to IT jobs which will only satisfy them with high pay packs, but manufacturing
industries are not getting talented engineers where need is letting down.

Probably the huge paychecks have their contribution.
But I don't know, in my opinion being an engineer is very hard. The college I went to was a sort of combination between computer software programming and engineering. So I have studied both topics related to engineering and programming and I can tell you that being a very good engineer is hard.
On the other hand given that almost everyone has access to a computer these days it's easier to get acquainted with programming environments at practically any age (I for one started when I was 9), as for becoming an engineer... I don't think you can train at home for that :) It's way harder to get acquainted with the engineering environment to discover whether you are attracted to it or not than is writing two lines on a computer and discovering "Wow, I love programming :) " (yea, I know programming is more than writing two lines as I am a programmer myself but at one point or another we all started with a few lines and discovered the magic :P )
