Engineer

Hello Tanya,
I can understand your angst. Unfortunately, presently it's only in medical and dental, a single all India test has been mandated called NEET. This happened in spite of spirited opposition by private colleges / Deemed Universities and some states as well. But, luckily for all aspirants and their parent's tensions and pain of appearing for large number of entrance exams is now a thing of past. Let's hope this happens for engineering admissions too.

There are various PSUs and government companies in which electronic and telecommunication engineering jobs are offered. Some of them are BEL, DRDO, BARC, Indian Railways, Meteorological Dept, AAI, DMRC, etc. In order to get a job in most of these, you have to appear and clear the GATE exam. ISRO, DRDO, and BARC have separate exams for them. There are other PSUs too which require GATE exam.

Both the areas are good and have an immense scope. Material Science which is an interdisciplinary degree is offered only by a few top universities as Master's degree. Materials engineering graduates have jobs in materials-based industries such as vehicle construction and mechanical engineering, chemical industry, information and communication technologies, energy supply, electrical engineering/electronics and metal production and processing. Germany is known for mechanics and automobiles and this industry is the country's driving force. Check the Make it in Germany website for more career information.

I think you should go for MBA in operations.

Hello Ravi,
To become a Junior Engineer you should be a Diploma holder (Electrical). If you are an Electrical Engineer, you might not be allowed to take up JE exam, instead you can apply for AE/AEE posts.
Keep checking your State Government and Central Government websites for job openings.
All the best.

You are advised to seek admission in MCA or M.Sc IT.

Mechanical engineers have good scope in automobile and manufacturing industries. A good score in GATE also opens opportunities to get into PSUs.

Yes, it is possible. PSUs generally recruits on the basis of GATE scores.
