Post Engineering Confusions

What after B.Tech?

Another common question usually struck in an engineering student is what after Engineering. In this post I tired to figure out what are best possible options you can choose and are not exceptions. In other words well known and common options that you can choose after B.Tech.

Hunting a Job:
If one feel that is been to heavy to study for four years and want to start making money, then start early hunt for job. Make a profile in all job sites and social job networking sites like linkedin. Give it a big try and attend all walk-ins and apply all the places where you find suitable. Be prepared to travel a lot in the search from Bangalore to Pune, Pune to Dehi, Delhi to noida anywhere. Don’t miss any advertisement for fresher and don’t give up. Refer to Engineering future, scope and prospects for core companies offering jobs in special domain.

M.Tech or MS:
If you think you need to improve or need a higher degree to feel secure or gain higher positions at right time, you should look at all possible ways to crack GATE and think about M.Tech. If you are interested in having a foreign exposure and think your family can help and support you, then start preparing for GRE, TOFEL and start looking for universities that are suitable for that.

MBA Lets change the domain:
We study Engineering for four years and at the end we are almost clear about our decision of joining some engineering stream and our career in that. By the end we know whether we can stay in the same domain, stream, or field of engineering and improve or it is kind of wasting our time if we remain in the same engineering field and you decide to change your area of study. MBA is a very good alternative, but make sure you are going to a right place for MBA. To know more about it refer to M.Tech or MBA which is better to choose.

Research:
If you think you have patience and motivation for studying for several years ahead and work for a cool and successful career you should consider doing PhD after B.Tech, many IITs take admissions to PhD even right after B.Tech. This may take on the average 4 to 6 years to complete but will definitely make you a strong player in real life and make you confident.

Start Your Own 😉
The exceptions can be to Start a company, be an entrepreneur and explore your world. If you have some hobby can make it a profession and make earning from that, for example paining, writing, singing, music and photography and many other hobbies. But be careful about these options they involve more risk and more gains.

What if I don’t get any of these?
This is really an important question to be answered. I feel the alternatives are join some value added courses and in some good institutes like CDAC and others that offer great value and job opportunities, as these require a good amount of money I never tried it. Rather I prefer to join a teaching job for several months use college library to maxim level prepare for interviews or GATE or GRE and get ready to jump to above fields I mentioned above. But I will sincerely be working towards my students too.

Wish everyone a great luck and ask you chase your dream with confidence. If don’t feel confident please go ahead and do something that makes confident.

  5. Ankit patel

  6. shanil muhammed

    These days, the competition in the job market is so high that to survive, one must possess some ‘extra’ skills other than the regular graduation Degree! Piping Engineering,Structural Engineering course is one-of-a-kind. These courses are structured to raise the level of expertise in piping design and to improve the competitiveness in the global markets, provides various piping system designs, development skills and knowledge of current trends of plant layout. Average starting salary is between 20-40k Rupees per month. This figure may vary, depending upon the profile of the employer and other Educational Qualifications of the worker. If it is from a reputed institute that you want to pursue this course from, I suggest you to opt for ASTS Global Education.For more details visit http://www.astsglobal.com.

    You are doing a great job. You have written certainly the very good articles on this website. They show the freshers as well as college students the real story. Why and what to do things. Make a decision in which you can give the best and also can make some changes to the society for the good as well.

    Dear Mr. Zaid,
    Jobs in patent law can be an interesting career option for science and technology graduates. If you’ve got a technical degree but don’t know how to use it, take a look at what a role in intellectual property can offer. A patent attorney/agent is a specialised techno legal professional who is qualified to write, obtain and advise clients about patents and to protect the intellectual property (IP) rights in commercial products or processes. A legal background is not required, however: the essential requirement for patent law is technical expertise.

    All the Graduates/Post-Graduates with technical background can go for Post Graduate Diploma in Intellectual Property Rights and Patent Management. This program is available at GIIP Delhi and Bangalore centers.

    You can check out the course details at: GIIPINFO(DOT)COM
