Engineering Courses: Future, Prospects, Institutes and Studies in India

2010 February 13

Selecting an engineering course is a difficult choice because either your choice makes you happy rest of your life or after four years of engineering you try to change your field. I wrote a post on which is the best engineering course to help students based on industry trends.In this article I tried to give general information about engineering courses. I tried to collect and analyze information about engineering courses degrees and top colleges to study. I focused on kind of job you will be offered, average salary, best or leading companies and top institutes offering these courses and admission procedure.

India today published an article saying “Best engineering courses 2009”, but I think I was written by some journalist rather than an Engineer. Most of the courses they mention were never offered in India at B.Tech or M.Tech level for example Energy engineering, Nuclear engineering,etc. This makes most of the courses mentioned in the article irrelevant for B.Tech and M.Tech students.

In this collection of posts I tried to cover the traditional engineering branches and give a brief introduction and give information about job prospects and industry and student trends instead of mentioning name that we never heard when we go for admissions. The courses

Aeronautical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering
Biotechnology or BioEngineering
Chemical Engineering
Civil Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering
Electrical Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Industrial Engineering
Materials and Metallurgical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mining Engineering
Petroleum Engineering

I tried my best to collect and share information with many students here. If have any questions, suggestions or more information worth sharing, please do not hesitate to write in comment box below.

  3. i m going to take admission in b.tech among these branches which one will have better future prospect (nuclear,nanotechnology,lnerastructure)

    • Diyanshu: If I m in your place I go for Nanotechnology. Nuclear may create some problems for going to some nations like US and Europe. By lnerastructure you may mean Infrastructure but this is really a wage term for me never heard about it before. Wish you a great luck.

    which branch is better mechanical or cse with respect to
    research work and job prospectus in furture.
    and also which nit is good for cse or mechanical.

    • Swagat: I believe all engineering streams have good future provided you have good percentile in 4 yrs of study. But if you are average student and want to start working early I suggest you CSE instead of mechanical. Mechanical is good branch but you need to very good at studies to see great heights. Good luck with your choice.
