Which are the best branches of engineering in India? How do I know which one is the right one for me?

This dilemma of reaching to a conclusion of choosing a branch is the one faced by a lot of students who appear for various engineering entrance exams. Engineering is nothing but making you visualize what goes on in the background when certain phenomenon happens and improvisation of such systems and if you don't have an eye for it, you might face a lot of difficulties in the branch you choose because all the branches in engineering are equally challenging. And, one more thing, just in 12th standard you think that some area is interesting and you should choose it, then think of it and definitely consult your seniors. Engineering courses are nothing like the perspective we have in the 12th standard. That might be a very little part of it. For some core branches this information might be helpful: Mechanical Engineers visualize the working of machines. Electrical engineers work on the distribution of electricity in systems. Information Technology is like subset of CS focused on application based study Computer Science Engineering is the study of software and hardware Petroleum Engineering is the study of hydrocarbons, extraction of the hydrocarbons and transferring them. I think the most efficient way is to talk to a senior of the respective fields and explore the subject and find out if you are inclined. Hope that Helps All The best.

Yes, choosing the right branch is really challenging for a student in this competitive world in the fear of getting a job easily or not. Here are few common branch and some come question which help to decide correct branch for you. If you have yes in all the question then this particular branch is good for you 1. Computer Science Do you like computers? Do you want to make a change in computers? Are you good in IQ? Do you like puzzles? Do you like computer languages? Do you like to get more information about a computer? 2. Mechanical Engineer Do you like machine design? Do you like mechanics of Physics? Do you like engineering skills? Do you like something new to discover? 3. Electrical Engineer Do you like electricity? Do you understand electricity and magnetism? Do you want to make your own robot? Do you want to find something new in electrical devices? Do you like to see the interior part of any electronic devices? 4.Civil Engineering Do you like big monuments? Do you find how building look after it is completed? Are you ready to build something amazing? Do you like sketching? Do you like to work adventurously? If you have more 'yes' in any of the following branches then sure you will achieve really good in that one. All the best!

Trends on various engineering branches scope and opportunities varies with multiple parameters such as Economic growth, Geo Politics, innovation & technology changes, shortage of skills, quality of education, changes social capital etc. Therefore, predicting trends is very difficult. Student must choose his branch based on his/her interest to excel in professional life. This decade belongs to Electronics and Telecommunications. Electronics and Telecommunications will continue to impact all walks of life including business. Next wave of Industrial revolution is automation and Electronics will play a vital role in it. ECE engineers can be employed in all type of industries including IT. Computer Science is the facilitating technology for all business and personal activities. Indian IT industry is world’s largest outsourcing hub. Computer Science engineering is dominating the job market for last 15 years. Indian Computer industry has started showing early sign of decline due to outcry against outsourcing in western world. Therefore, Electronics &Telecommunication is best option with respect to career opportunities and scope. Computer Science will continue to good career option for some more times in the field of Engineering. Mechanical is an ever green branch for last 50 years and will continue to remain same in next 50 years. Civil Engineering is an age old profession and with Government of India's focus on infrastructure scope and opportunities for Civil Engineer will be very high for next few years. Most of the jobs are in field. India has very well developed Chemical Industry including Petroleum & gas both in Government and private sector. It is core sector with lot of Government and big corporate houses support. Chemical Engineers have good scope in India and abroad. Its market is little seasonal and has heavy dependence of Geo political environment. Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) is a core field of engineering but majority of EEE graduates are treated as Electrical engineers. My recommendations in order of precedence are ECE, CSE, Mechanical, EEE, Chemical and then Civil engineering if student does not have any specific area of interest.
