Is it a good choice to pursue environmental engineering?

Hello Praveen, Environmental engineering has immense scope in India for professionals, who are qualified in chemical, biological, thermal, radioactive or mechanical engineering as environmental engineering is a diverse field and requires people from diverse background. Moreover, professionals from process engineering, environmental chemistry, water and sewage treatment, waste reduction management, pollution prevention, etc. are required in large numbers. The job prospects for professionals with qualification in environmental engineering are bright in research centers, NGOs and various governmental departments working towards green development. Candidates with M.Tech in environmental engineering have opportunities to work for government built assessment committees, which study and analyze the environmental risks involved in certain projects. The report of such a committee is then submitted to the concerned authority for further observation. Scholars with Ph.D in environmental engineering can opt for teaching jobs in colleges and universities. 1. Environmental Engineering and Management Program, IIT – Kanpur. 2.
