Top Engineering Branches& Courses The number of Engineering branches have raise much in the last10 years. There are many unique branches of engineering beingincluded that students are puzzled about which one to select.

Nowadays, just pursuing an Engineering degree doesn’t land youa job; just have a look at those IT graduates who pursuedengineering from average colleges. Many of them are still findingjobs. They have to take jobs with low salaries. Why does thisoccur? Well, they picked the wrong college and the course. Yes,choosing the wrong Engineering course can give you serioustrouble. Now, if you have pursued a degree in IT engineering froma top reputed college, you may easily get a good job. PCCOER isamong the top engineering colleges in Pune which provideexcellent services to the students in terms of education and alsoplacements.

So, it is of utmost importance to choose the best EngineeringCollege as well as a branch if you want to make it big. If you wantassured job after graduation, then you must make certain that thecourse which you choose is among the top courses.

Here are the top branches of Engineering.

1.E&TC Engineering

Electronics and telecommunication engineering is one ofthe oldest and the top course in the engineering field. Electronicsand telecommunication spreads in vast areas in the field ofengineering. It is not feasible for a person to become a specialistin all the fields. So, one should pick one or two areas of interest.The memory of last recession had a big influence on the type ofcareers we pick. It is smart to go for a career that can face marketconditions like recession, rather than allowing for a career shift ata later stage of your career. Since the number of opportunities forfreshers in the field of electronics and telecommunication is farless as compared to the students pursuing every year, it isnecessary for a young engineer to get placed in campusrecruitments and cross the first barrier in career.

Engineering industries that allow electronic engineeringgraduates:

Electronic engineering students are typically hired into thefollowing industries. However, different companies will havedifferent requirements, so do check out companies.

Electronics industry & fast moving consumer goods industry Marine industry & oil and gas industry Utilities industry Pharmaceuticals industry & power generation industry Aerospace industry & automotive industry Construction industry & defense industry Rail industry & telecoms

2. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Mechanical engineering is a grand member of the core branchof engineering. Mechanical engineers are needed by almost allthe industries. So, the job possibilities after graduation are greatand thus this branch is also known as the ‘evergreen branch’.

A new course called Mechatronics Engineering has been added. Itis a combination of both Mechanical and Electronics Engineering.This is also a top branch in engineering.

After completing the undergraduate engineering program,graduates may go for forward PG courses such as M.Tech.Production Engineering, Automobile Engineering, M.Tech.,Industrial Engineering etc. Other than these technical courses,management course like MBA is also prevalent among graduates.

Speaking about job openings, the branch of MechanicalEngineering won’t fail you much! It is one of the evergreenbranches of engineering. Large amount of Government andPrivate Job openings are ready in front of graduates. Some jobtypes found in India are-

Mechanical Engineer Production Engineer Quality Control Engineer Machine Design Specialist Industrial Drafting Specialist CAD Specialist

The Government organizations and Private firms always recruitMechanical Engineering students. Some well-known recruitersare-

TATA Motors DRDO HAL Reliance Industries JBM Auto

Ford India Indian Railways BHEL AMW BKT Tires Indian Armed Forces Mahindra & Mahindra Panasonic

According to the graph the career of the graduates passing fromthe core engineering branches is very bright. The report statesthat graduates in Civil engineering may get an average salary of6.7 Lakh per year, minimum salary of 4 Lakh and maximum salaryof 18 Lakh per year. The graduates in Mechanical engineeringmay get an average salary of 7 Lakh per year, minimum salary of3.9 Lakh and maximum salary of 20 Lakh per year.The graduatesin E&TC engineering may get an average salary of 9.2 Lakh per

year, minimum salary of 4 Lakh and maximum salary of 28 Lakhper year.The graduates in Computer engineering may get anaverage salary of 14.7 Lakh per year, minimum salary of 4.25Lakh and maximum salary of 28 Lakh per year.

3. CIVIL ENGINEERINGIt is really important and also one of the ‘core branches' ofEngineering. Job chances after graduation are great. There areseveral jobs available in both private and the government sector.

On completion of the Civil Engineering, graduates may go topursue further Master’s (M.Tech.) programs and practice inpromising systems. There are several options of Master’sprograms in India after pursuing Civil Engineering. Managementcourse like MBA is also a favorite choice among Indian CivilEngineering students.Speaking about job openings and career, some of the job typesavailable in front of Civil Engineering students are-

Civil Engineer Site Engineer Chief Engineer Site Supervisor Chief Planning Engineer Resource Management Officer Consultant

Extensive number of Government and Private job openings arepresent in front of Graduates. Some of the well-known companiesthat hire civil engineers are-

PWD State wise Municipal Corporations

Infrastructure management firms Ports Reliance Industries Essar NGOs Town Planning Commission NHAI L&T TATA Realty and Infrastructure Realty firms ONGC Indian Railways

If you are skilled enough and have solid management skills, youmay start up your own business enterprise too. With some startupfunds, one may start an own developing reality venture.

4. COMPUTER ENGINEERINGComputer engineering lives at the intersection of innovationand technology. A dynamic professional sector, computerengineering offers diverse career paths in both hardwareengineering and software development—each drives computingapproaches in industries ranging from healthcare to aerospace. Itprovides a high-level summary of computer engineering, includinga look at another degree and career paths, relevant skills, earningpotential and job outlook.

Computer engineering mixes together computer science andelectrical engineering to promote advancements in technology,computer networking and computer operations. In turn, computerengineers use their vast knowledge of hardware and softwareconfiguration and computer programming to make computingprograms and applications more efficient and productive.Seamlessly combining the latest innovations, computer engineersproduce new computer hardware, design and implement softwareapplications, and improve the capabilities of networks systems.

Job types available in front of Computer Engineering students are- TCS KPIT Wipro Infosys Satyam Computer Services HCL Technologies Tech Mahindra Patni Computer Systems i-flex Solutions
