Software Engineering

It is not necessary to have IT or CS as an additional subject to do engineering or BCA to become a software engineer.

Hello Gautam,
Software engineering is a branch of engineering. You need to have science background to pursue the same. As you have enrolled in commerce, you cannot opt for computer science engineering. However, if you want to proceed further with computers, mathematics and computers as your subjects in your class 12th, then certain universities allow such students for BCA.
I hope it helps.

Career options after both software and mechanical engineering degrees are equally good. Mechanical engineering is an evergreen branch of engineering with not much changes in market demand in last 50 years. Software industry has started showing sign of decline in India. Therefore, based on market forecast, I will like to recommend Mechanical engineering over software engineering.

Hi Roshan,
After completing engineering in software, you will get decent salary. There are many opportunities available after completing engineering in CSE branch or IT branch.

Software engineering has a very good scope. IT has high market demand in present and will increase many folds in future.

Both have great opportunities. Some people rate software development higher than Testing. However, you must opt for the field for which your profile, skills and natural talents are apt.

To pursue software engineering, you need to pursue B.Tech/ BE from decent institutes. So, you can appear for JEE or state entrance exams to get good rank and college.

Dear Bharat,
Both are the same things. An IT branch student is also called software engineer, but the full branch name is computer science and engineering. So some people call computer engineering and some call it computer science. Mainly people use computer science.

My dear,
In Gujarat, there are so many colleges for software engineering. Few of them are quite good like
(1) Nirma University, Ahmedabad
(2) Dheeru Bhai Ambani
(3) IIT, Gandhinagar
(4) SVNIT Surat
(5) Parul University.

Indian IT industry has started showing an early sign of decline because of the outcry against outsourcing in the western world and visa restrictions. Software engineering market is very crowded and competitive. If you want to succeed in the IT industry, you must gain unique IT skills to have career breakthrough.
