Every year over 13 l
akh students appear for the JEE Mains Entrance Examination, making it one of the largest entrance exams globally. The most common dilemma among engineering aspirants is, about the “Best Engineering Branch” to choose. Basically, what matters in choosing your branch is your personal interest and aptitude for that particular branch. Some of the trending Engineering courses to go for in 2016 can be:
Computer Science and Engineering / Information Technology
Software Engineering is, undoubtedly, one of the most leading branches in Engineering. This branch offers highly paid packages than any other branch along with ample of overseas job opportunities. If you have a keen interest in the field of software development, mobile development or database systems, you should definitely go for this branch.
Electrical and Electronics Engineering
Electrical and Electronics Engineering is considered one of the evergreen branches of engineering. Students in this course learn about generation and transmission of electrical power, electronics, electrical circuit design, instrumentation, control systems, etc. The government sector generates a number of job opportunities with high packages in industries such as- railways, steel factories, etc.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is one the oldest branch of engineering. This field always has opportunities despite of the changing market trends and technologies. This involves designing, analysis, manufacture and maintaining machines. This branch also offers ample job opportunities and high salary packages as a candidate move up the hierarchy of an organization.
Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is all about construction and buildings. This course can include study areas such as Fluid Mechanics, Soil Mechanics, Design of Structures, and Structural Mechanics. As a civil engineer, you will be building tunnels, roads, bridges, towers, canals, dams, seaports, airports, etc. Civil engineers, also works best in the government sector and are offered high posts and payments.
Chemical Engineering
Chemical Engineering is one the newest evolved branch of engineering. It was not considered as a branch, but factors such as Global Warming and its consequences, causing environmental issues raised this field of study as important. In the 4 year course of engineering, you will study Polymers, Chemicals, Petroleum and Pharmaceuticals along with the basics of Computer Science and Information Technology needed in the development of chemical engineering process.
Apart from the above engineering fields, there are other equally popular and relevant branches such as Industrial and Production Engineering, Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Bioengineering, Biotechnology, Aeronautical Engineering, etc.
All the top-notch engineering colleges and Universities in India and abroad offer powerful courses. Any of them can be picked up as per your interest and caliber.
