A vibrant career in engineering shows that student graduating from top notch engineering colleges will not have any problem searching a job. Various segments of engineering including of Aerospace, Automotive, Computer, Construction, Consumables, Consumer Electronics, Bioengineering, Chemical, Defense, Electrical Equipment, Energy – Conventional, Energy – Nuclear, Energy – Renewable, etc. offer attractive jobs options for engineers in India.
Additionally, some other hot sectors for engineering students such as Food & Drink, Metal Products, Oil Gas, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Plastics, Printing, etc. are not only high paying but offer international exposure also. Many engineering companies recruit fresh graduates from campus and most of the engineering jobs are being filled by on campus recruitment procedure. Therefore, in order to make a career in engineering getting into a right college is a must.
Career in Engineering
Career in engineering is bright and engineering graduates have plenty of choices to work in their professional life. The options available with engineering graduates include working Business Development, Computing and IT, Cost and Contractual, Document Control, Engineering – Design, Engineering – Maintenance, Engineering - Production & Supervision, Engineering Technician, etc. amongst others.
Software engineering however attracts most number of candidates as the sector has lots of international scope and exposure as well as earning potential. Top notch IT companies in India offer handsome salaries to IT engineers which are comparable to the salaries available to professionals in UK or the USA. Today, India is at number one spot in software engineering and professionals from India are shining in Silicon Valley in the USA.
IT companies in India such as HCL Infosystems Ltd, Hexaware Technologies Ltd, L&T, GMR, Infosys Technologies Ltd, Larsen & Toubro Ltd, Mastek Ltd, NIIT Ltd, IBM, Wipro Ltd, Tata InfoTech Ltd, Patni Computer Systems (P) Ltd, Aricent, offer attractive salary packages to software engineers.
Job prospects in other branches of engineering
Along with software engineering mechanical engineering, electronics and communication, civil engineering, telecom engineering, aeronautics, etc. are being considered attractive and high paying. Playing crucial role in generating high level of knowledge IITs and NITs produce thousands of engineers every year who make impression not only in India but outside India too. Engineers from IITs acquiring and applying technical, scientific and mathematical knowledge have left high impression globally.
Engineers can earn their livelihood working for engineering segments such as Railways, Rubber, Shipbuilding, Solid Waste Disposal, Steel Manufacture, Steel Products, Telecom, Water Supply, etc. Some of the mentioned sectors even pay handsome salaries which though may not be compared to IT industry yet can be called handsome in many other senses. Shrinking of government sector jobs has not only affected other professionals but engineering graduates too have suffered a setback in terms of employment generation.
Government jobs for engineers
Despite the fact there are not many government jobs in engineering, some PSUs (Public Sector Undertakings) still require engineering graduates to work for them and most of them are in energy, railway, defense, etc. Even software engineers are being asked for various security reasons. Cyber crime and data safety has become a major concern for government and intelligence agencies and for that efficient software engineers are required.
