Many students choose engineering as they have the passion for creating something new and are inspired by some great engineers in the history or the current times. Many love subjects such as Mathematics and Science, therefore they know pursuing engineering will give them a better chance to explore the subjects further. Because engineering is the new benchmark. This is happening only in the case of students who are guided by their parents into engineering colleges. The students take it as an opportunity to spend up another 4 years. The students should be allowed to follow the branch of study he/she is interested in. Up choosing engineeri...more -
They are mentally made to think in that way because Science students are advice always to go for a job rather than doing something new, that's why most of them end up doing engineering.

I dont think after taking PCM student ended up in Engineering only.The reason why student take engg. degree is because now a days there are so many engg college opened and getting admission is really very easy. and after that if person put 30% also then he could get jobs in MNC.
There are lot of streams which are open after PCM and 12th that we already have seen lots of comments but currently there is very good scope which I personally seeing and feels is Cyber Law courses and CA(charted accountant) Both of the courses you can do and are having very bright future even if you are not the engg. -

i am pass 12th class with 55%(PCM) what is the best course for me. please help me which is best for me -
anjani jha well said, in my opinion before opting for any course students should first decide in which field they wish to build their career and accordingly they may select the best course as per your interest and liking. -
Engineering is best option, whatever field you want to chose that can chose after engineering also. -
As a student you should give your 100% in whichever course you opt for, and if you do well then getting a good job with handsome salary should not be a problem.
-
yes, there are certain other options besides engineering you can go for an option as your carrer line. As you have choosen the PCM in your +2 therefore you can go for Honour courses after +2 in any of your liking subject, you can also choose a professional course like law directly after your +2. well the easy answer for you will as you have taken Maths as a main subject so you have both other streams like commerce and arts to choose as your career. so dont worry just concentrate on your studies right now and get good marks you have many other options too if you dont go for engineering! All The Best! -
Besides engineering you may consider pursuing some of the below mentioned course:
BHM (Hotel Management)
Mass Communication, etc. -
I would suggest that before opting for any course you must first decide in which field you wish to build your career and accordingly you may select the best course as per your interest and liking.
-
Regarding salary, always remember that there are many aspects on which it depends such as size of the organization, profile, qualification, experience, etc so it would be tough to provide you specific detail.
Also, scope and salary depends on you, if you have interest in the field then you may get promoted and enjoy the benefits of getting promoted with increased salary. -
Next, getting a job is the responsibility of the candidate. You may explore certain things about yourself such as :
-Communication skills
-Assessment of your strengths
-Domain knowledge
-Knowledge about the position you are applying for
-Knowledge about the company you have applied job in
Such aspects will help you to prepare better for any interview. -
There are many courses with tremendous scope. You must pursue a course keeping in mind your career goal and the type of job you want to do as it will help you to grow, professionally and personally. So, think and decide wisely before taking final decision.

However, there are many course options available after plus two Science :
** After plus two in Science (Combination : Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry) you may take up engineering courses, such as civil, mechanical, electronics, etc.

** You can also opt for courses outside the university stream, such as hotel management, fashion technology, aircraft maintenance engineering, government accredited computer...more -
