All of you must have heaved huge sigh
of relief and rightly so the hard work of almost 12 years
is now on the verge of bearing fruit. We would like to congratulate
every student as well as parent for getting one-step closure
to their dream career. Engineering degree has been the passport
to high profile jobs in India & abroad thanks to the
economic well being in general and IT revolution in particular.
However this year the evil of recession is playing spoilsport
with the passing out grads; hope in their eyes but nowhere
to go. This situation has pressed panic button for aspiring
engineers and they are now being bit more cautious about
their choice of branch and college as they do not want to
risk their careers hanging in wrong hands. But if one look
closely the career path for engineering students; after graduation
has took-of inorganically, for past half a decade or so.
Today we can say the normalcy is being restored. We are not
being pessimistic but putting hard facts across the table.
The absolute ignorance towards core sector while running
behind temporary greener pastures could land us in a soup.
Unfortunately ‘Na ghar ka na ghat ka’ is the
right phrase to describe ground situation for most of the
non-Comp/IT engineers who have lost their jobs in this turmoil.
India being the rapidly developing country need to do well
on almost all the fronts be it Agriculture engineering, Petro-chemicals,
Projects, Instrumentation, Construction, Chemical. It’s
not wise to put all the eggs in one basket don’t you
think so?
This career guide is being handed over to you for one simple reason that
you get the right perspective of an engineering career. Engineering career
is not only punching keyboards in A.C. rooms but also soiling your hands
developing new mechanisms; engineering career is not only about pay packages
and allowances but also giving solutions to real life problems, engineering
careers are not only about dreaming to fly abroad but to make worthwhile
contribution to our own country as well.
Product engineering the creme-de-la-creme of profile for an engineer
has been deliberately kept away from our reach by MNC’s. But as
we are emerging as strong consumer of their products this important portfolio
is being doled out to us.
To name a few the emerging sectors in India are: Bio-Medical, Aviation,
This
career guide has put much emphasis on variety of job
profiles that are available for an average engineer to
brilliant one. Presenting the exact picture through organization
charts and job responsibilities will serve the purpose
to visualise how challenging an engineer’s job
can be?
For the benefit of engineering aspirants who have not decided about the
branch or confused between multiple branches could get valuable insight
from this guide. An innovative approach has been adopted to give logical
base for branch selection process with ‘Branch
Selection Tool’. Also college selection can be made easy with ‘College
Selection Tool’.
These tools will be helpful to decide the RIGHT sequence at the time
of filling the option form.
Students and Parents will come to know the general rules and documents
required for the admission process beforehand to avoid last minute rush.
Cut off marks of the last year process will be handy while deciding the
sequence.
Looking at the rising fees and cost of living at metro cities Education
loans really bring the succour for parents. This guide also keeps you
updated with latest eligibility norms and variety of options available
in the market.
Last but not the least important tips given are the gist of experience
of students completing the admission processes successfully for last
decade or so. The need for open mind for the parents and willingness
to accept the best available option is also emphasized. Wishing you all
the best for the entire admission process and great four years ahead!
We will always with you, with some useful initiatives like this in future.
