You want to be an Engineer? Read the pointers at your own risk before taking up Engineering!
- 2. Most of the students who have taken up Science in their higher secondary or Pre-Universities are confused thinking if they should take up Engineering or something else. In India alone, every year, more than 15 lakh students graduate as engineers. Over the years, there has been a rapid increase in the number of government and private colleges offering a plethora of courses.
- 4. Engineers are in Great Demand: A lot of students are fascinated seeing the technology impact in the society, may it be a robot or fighter jet plane or an awesome app in their smartphone. I did not clear Medical cut-off! I will take up engineering?: Another valid but unfortunate reason for people taking up engineering is either because they do not want to get in to medicine or they did not get a merit seat in medical entrance exams. Are you forced to take up Engineering due to Family and Financial Pressure? In India, it is not a surprise if your parents or relatives decide what career you must choose. At times, if you want to take up Commerce or Arts, you are literally disowned in the family. Let your kids decide what he or she wants to do! Change the world attitude: Engineers contribute positively in one or many way to improve the livelihood and it’s a great feeling to be a problem solver.
- 6. Great Rewards And Opportunities Studying engineering brings prestige Ready for any problem Can Work from anywhere in the world
- 8. If you’re not good at maths or logic, engineering is not for you Hard work is not limited to Cracking entrance and confirming a seat Get out of your comfort zone to learn better Am from middle class. Hence plan your expenses well.
- 10. You are excited to do engineering but have you done your HOME WORK? Teenagers have very less idea about what a course exactly has to offer. 30-40 percentage of today’s engineer have no idea why they took engineering and are doing work which has nothing to do with engineering. For example: ▪ If you want to become pilot doesn’t mean you need to do aeronautical engineering. ▪ If you want to build a sports car doesn’t mean you need to do automobile engineering etc. ▪ if you want to be a hacker, doesn’t mean you must learn computer science engineering. ▪ Few also assume that if you take up IT, it means coding only.

- 11. Firstly, clearly understand what courses are available; what are the various subjects and chapters available and then decide if that interests you to learn. It’s your career and not a food in restaurant or a short vacation to a nearby city. Spare some time, consult with well wishers, take up career counselling sessions, learn about the course offerings and then enrol yourself. It’s better to suffer now than regret forever by doing some boring job.
- 12. Only few Branches have scope. What should I take? Opportunities are available is all the streams provided you have the right skills in the respective fields. Can you do anything else in-spite of taking up engineering? An engineering degree doesn’t just teach you how to be a great engineer, but rather a great manager, businessman, and entrepreneur. There is a saying, “In India People take up engineering first and then figure out what to do with their life”.
- 13. Engineers receive appealing packages just after they graduate: When it comes to job openings In Bangalore, an fresher’s average salary comes to around 3-4 lakhs per annum for Mass recruitment companies such as Infosys, HPE, Mindtree,TCS etc. However, if you are really good, do something amazingly cool and innovative, you definitely stand a chance to gain better packages. Engineering first, MBA Next: If you can combine technical expertise with adaptable management abilities and a global perspective, there’s no limit to where an engineering degree can take you but I would rather suggest to work for few years after Engineering and then based on your career growth pursue post graduation program.
- 14. Whatever you learn can directly be applied in Industries: Theoretical knowledge is good but is not going to help you reach greater heights. One must have interest in the subject and be passionate about applying the theory learnt into various projects.
- 15. Is Engineering really worth it? Lot of my friends struggle to get a job!There is nothing like being an Engineer in this technology advanced era but engineering is not just an educational degree that you can pursue like others. It involves a lot of efforts and if you are not interested in investing your sweat and blood it will not be easy for you to get over it.
- 16. To conclude, an engineering degree gives you not just theoretical knowledge but also build your many analytical skills, logical skills and improvise your problem solving techniques which can be applied in a wide range of industries and at various entry levels in an organisation.
