Which
is the Best Engineering Course in India?
The most common query among all engineering aspirants is
about the “best engineering branch”.
According to us, all engineering branches are equally good. What matters
is your interest and aptitude for that branch.
The most common query among all engineering aspirants is
about the “best engineering branch/ course/ specialization/ discipline”. According to us, all engineering disciplines
are equally good. What matters is your interest and aptitude for that
engineering branch. So don’t pick a branch you have no interest in, just
because it promises fat pay packages! But selecting an engineering branch can
be very difficult. You often get confused whether to give importance to the
branch of your choice or a reputed institute. So, to make things easier, we have
listed out various engineering branches based on previous trends and the past
preferences of other engineering aspirants like you:
Computer Science & Engineering/IT:
Software engineers are the most sought after in India. So it
is no surprise that this branch is leading! This branch offers higher pay
packages than any other branch as well as ample overseas job opportunities. If
you have an interest in database management and application development, you
should seek out this engineering discipline.
Electronics & Communication Engineering:
You study this branch and you will become a gadget guru! You
will learn all about digital electronics and logic design, fundamentals of
communication engineering, electronic circuits, signals and systems, power
electronics, applied electromagnetic theory, integrated circuits, VLSI etc. Go
for this engineering specialisation if you have a strong base (and interest) in
calculus & physics (semi-conductors etc). The telecommunications industry
& mobile development industru have been progressing by leaps & bounds
in the last few years and would offer excellent opportunities to graduates.
Electrical & Electronics Engineering:
There will always be opportunities for electrical engineers
as this is an evergreen field. You will learn about transmission and generation
of electrical power, electrical circuit design, electronics, instrumentation,
control systems etc. There are a lot of openings for this profile in the
government sector. You might get to work in steel factories, the railways, at
construction sites or handle automated systems in which electricity supply and
distribution plays a crucial role.
Best institutes (apart for the IITs and NITs) include Delhi
Technological University (DTU).
Mechanical Engineering:
Another evergreen field, there will always be opportunities
here, despite varying market trends. It is one of the oldest branches of
engineering and therefore one of the broadest. As a mechanical engineer you
will get to design, analysis, manufacture and maintain anything that moves!
Best institutes (apart for the IITs and NITs) include ISM
(Indian School of Mines) University, Dhanbad, Delhi Technological University
(DTU), BITS Pilani.
Civil Engineering/ Environment Engineering:
As a student you will study Fluid Mechanics, Soil Mechanics,
Design of Structures, and Structural Mechanics and water recourse
engineering. And then as a civil
engineer you will be building roads,
buildings bridges, dams, canals, sea ports, power plants and airports! This
sector is looking up these days mainly due to the numerous infrastructure
projects that are in the pipeline for India. It is a challenging profile but
immensely satisfying as well. Also, with the reen way of living gaining
popluarity across the world, the role of a civil engineer often overlaps with
that of an environment enginner as he needs to plan his projects in an
environment-friendly manner.
Best institutes (apart for the IITs and NITs) include
IT-BHU, DTU, BITS-Pilani, Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra. For B.Tech in
Environmental Engineering, Department of Environmental Science and Engineering
of Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad is a very good option.
Chemical Engineering:
It was not considered to be an exciting field but things
have changed now. Global warming and its consequential environment issues have
made chemical engineers hot property now. In your 4 years of study you will
cover chemicals, polymers, petroleum, pharmaceuticals along with computer and
information technology for the development of chemical engineering processes.
Petroleum i.e. Black Gold has made this field very prosperous. Go for this
field if you have an inclination towards organic & inorganic chemistry.
You can get placed with ONGC, Reliance Industries Ltd.,
Essar Oil Limited, Gujarat Gas Company Limited, Indo Gulf Fertilizers Ltd,
Coromandel Fertilizers Limited. Apart from regular jobs, there are numerous
research & development opportunities for chemical engineering students and
remuneration may range from 1000-1500 dollars for PhD students. Opportunities
are plenty in the renewable energy sector, nuclear power sector, industrial
metallurgy sector.
Biotechnology:
Think of biotechnology in India & you think of Kiran
Mazumdar-Shaw's and her biotechnology company, Biocon. Today India is
considered one of the best destinations for biotechnology industry because of
the availability of state-of-art resources and facilities to carry on newer
practices.
A B.Tech in Biotechnology would throw up opportunities in
production, research, and marketing in the fields like environment, energy and
conservation, agriculture and horticulture, medicine and healthcare, animal
husbandry and dairy farming. Research oriented aspirants have a good scope in
research laboratories and as professors and research assistants. There are
opportunities with government and corporate run research and development
organisations. You could hold designations like lecturer, marketing manager,
quality control officer or manager, bioinformists, environmental specialist
etc.
There are many more equally popular and relevant branches
like Instrumentation & Control Engineering, Industrial and Production
Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Bioengineering etc. They are offered at
a few of the IITs and most of NITs and have excellent prospects. Take your pick
after understanding where your caliber and interest lies.
