    Paramedical courses focus on healthcare support roles, involving patient care, diagnostics, and rehabilitation, making them ideal for those passionate about the medical field and working directly with people. 

    Engineering, on the other hand, is technology-driven and offers diverse specializations like mechanical, civil, software, and electrical engineering. Engineering careers often have higher starting salaries and opportunities in innovation-driven industries but can also be competitive and subject to fluctuations based on industry demand.
