8) Aerospace Engineering
The high demand for this branch is due to the interesting and
rewarding career opportunities which it promises to its
students. The academic curriculum is similar to that of
mechanical engineering in the initial stages due to which
various common opportunities exist for both branches.
Aerospace engineers are recruited in aviation industry, defense
organizations and space organizations.
7) Chemical Engineering
Chemical engineering is a branch which provides versatile
opportunities across various industries to its students. The
branch is academically very demanding involving a lot of
laboratory work. Career prospects lie in research labs, material
industry, chemical industry, petroleum industry, paint industry
to name a few. Opportunities for further studies open up
complex fields like nanotechnology and crystallography .
Government sector openings for chemical engineers are many,
which make it a popular branch due to future job stability.
6) Petroleum Engineering
One of the most sought after branch since the last decade, it
attracts students because of the hefty pay packages offered
by petroleum companies. However petroleum engineers have a
rigorous career with long duration on-site duties. Government
sector opportunities are also ample for petroleum engineers.
5) Mechanical Engineering
Undoubtedly the most ‘green’ of the evergreen branches; it is
in fact the one which provides the most versatile
opportunities. Academically known for its strict grading
scheme, it is one of the most sought after branches. Career
opportunities lie in manufacturing, construction, maintenance,
service, aerospace, production& industrial and many other
industries. Government sector engineering opportunities even
for other branches are almost always open to a mechanical
student which promises a stable career.
4) IT Engineering
Seemingly the highest demand is for Information Technology if
one goes by the no. of recruitments made by software giants
like TCS, Infosys and Cognizant. The present times have
experienced a boom in IT sector like never before which
translates into abundant opportunities for IT engineers.
Although students undergo a different course, they may finally
end up taking an IT job, such is the requirement of present
times. Getting an IT job may be considered a bit easier than
other jobs which results in such a high demand for this branch.
3) Electrical Engineering
Electrical Engineering has been the all-time favourite core
branch and makes it to the 3rd position in the list. However
many consider it to be the topmost branch going by the sheer
brilliant career one can expect out of it. Electrical engineers
have opportunities in every sector be government sector,
manufacturing, service, aerospace, power to name a few.
Academically, the branch can be considered tougher than
most other branches.
2) Electronics and Telecommunication
Making it to the runner’s up position is ECE, a branch which
involves coursework consisting design of routers, switches,
transistors, integrated circuits, PCBs etc. The branch in overall
view is a mixture of computer science and electrical
engineering and offers career opportunities in consumer
electronics, aviation, communications, telecommunications
and computer application industry to name a few. Further
studies involve specialization in microelectronics, optics and
light waves etc.
1) Computer Science& Engineering
Making it to the no. 1 position in the list is computer science
& engineering. The most sought after branch in India, this
branch is preferred by top rankers of all engineering entrance
examination. The branch promises lucrative careers in India
and abroad with hefty pay packages. As far as the non-core
jobs are concerned, specialist positions like that of analysts,
quant analysts and wall-street jobs are often open only for
computer science engineers.
