How does one become a faculty in an engineering college?

Hi, You must have successfully finished your Masters degree in engineering to be a professor at the Engineering College. Additionally, you can apply for faculty positions at any engineering university depending on availability if you have passed the SET or UGC NET (National Eligibility Test). Your working hours are brief, and you receive a competitive salary. Some University engineering professors are required to have a Ph.D. in engineering, which denotes that they have finished several years of graduate engineering education, passed one or more field tests in their area of expertise, and published on an engineering-related research topic.

In a single sentence, I can say "You should have Ph.D degree to become professor in any engineering college". :) But let me explain you the step by step procedure to become a professor. Path 1 :First finish your Master's then you can join as Assistant professor. After 5 years of experience you will be promoted to Associate professor. After five years of experience as Associate you supposed to be promoted as Professor but here in this you will remain as Associate as you have not done Ph.D. So to do Ph.D you can two ways 1. You can do Ph.D while working as Assistant/Associate under some normal University. 2. You can do Ph.D in well reputed colleges like IITs/NITs through QIP (Quality improvement program by AICTE). Here you will some 60-70% of your salary during Ph.D period+UGC Assistantship. But it is not that easy to get QIP. Path 2: At stretch finish M.Tech and Ph.D. Many people in IITs fallow this path. But even after Ph.D you have to work as Assistant+Associate( for 10 years). Note : Above things not applicable for IITs/NITs. You need to have Minimum Ph.D+2 years of work experience. Promotions are based on number of journals published etc. All the best.

One can become a faculty in an engineering college by qualifying M.Ed Specialized in Educational Technology or PhD in Engineering or Technology. For that, one need to qualify graduation with post-graduation in Engineering. After that, he/she will pursue B.Ed and thereafter M.Ed/PhD.

Generally, M.Tech students are more available in the engineering college but M.Sc students also apply for the same. They need to appear in an exam organised by CBSE called UGC-NET in which they check the eligibility of the candidate for the post of teacher and they give a job to top 6% students for the post of assistant professor or JR. Rest of the students get a rank list by which they can get a job in any college on the behalf of their vacant seats. UGC give the right to college to take these candidates into the job after they qualify for the exam. So for joining a college, Masters from any field is required and after this, you have to appear in the UGC NET which is organized every year and then score a good rank in the exam. Only then, one can get a job in a good engineering college.

For being a Professor at Engineering College, you need to have completed your postgraduate degree in engineering. And, if you have qualified SET or UGC NET(National Eligibility Test) then you can surely go for faculty at any engineering institute as per the availability. Your working hours are short and you get good pay package. Some of the University engineering faculty must hold a PhD in engineering, which means that they have completed several years of graduate coursework in engineering, written one or more field exams in their area of specialization, and have written on a research topic related to engineering. Experience working as an engineer is also typically desired or required to assume a position at a university. Like all university professors, engineering professors are expected to divide their time between research, teaching and service.

There are two general pathways to become a faculty at an engineering college. The first pathway is to pursue M.Tech and apply to a university for the post of assistant professor. Private universities and colleges permit M.Tech but public universities require Ph.D to apply for faculty roles. Hence, you need to either be pursuing Ph.D or done with your thesis. The second path is via natural science. Most engineering colleges allow candidates with an M.Sc background to apply as an assistant professor. The private and public diligence applies here too. Although M.Sc candidates are permitted they generally teach the core courses like applied mathematics, physics and chemistry. For reaching core engineering discipline like computer science, electronics and IT, Ph.D candidates with M.Tech background are preferred in most institutions.

Hello there, If you want to become a faculty, lecturer or professor in future then CBSE UGC NET can be the best doorway for your bright career. Teaching your favourite subject is the most satisfactory job in the world and you can gain knowledge by delivering knowledge to various students. You can become a faculty member in any college or in your own college on a temporary basis also, but that will not be the best option for your career. The best option will be to start as a faculty, at the starting level, the salary will be an issue but you can pursue your Master's degree in the subject you are teaching at the same time. After your Master's degree, you can go for UGC NET to become a professor in reputed colleges and your faculty experience will give you an extra edge. Hope this will help. Best of luck. Stay motivated.
