SCOPE OF PRODUCTION ENGINEERING

I hope everyone knows about production engineering. In the present era scope of production engineer is huge. Everyone are confused about the course to opt. Usually in multinational companies a production engineer controls a manufacturing department etc. That means mechanical engineers comes under a production engineer. Please don't misunderstand that a mechanical engineer is below a production engineer. It is just that a production engineer with high grade pay always comes top (in the management area). In my view point a company cannot run smoothly without the help of production engineers because these engineers deal with everything starting from procurement of raw materials to the processes involved till it reach the market. 

There are lot of openings in different countries. Experience is the base of all. Try to get more experience, then job offers and pay scale increases. A few fields where production engineer get placed are :

• Automobile companies- For inspection, quality control, operation of automated equipments etc.
• Manufacturing industries- For inspection, quality control, operation of automated equipments, to control assembly line, production management etc.
• Food processing industries- For inspection, quality control, Production management etc.
• Railways- Manufacturing processes and its control etc.
• Process industries.
• Space and other research organizations.
• Government and private companies.
• Defense.
• IT companies.

During the course students fall in love with a subject or two that helps them to understand their taste. For example i fell in love with Industrial Automation and Inspection & Quality control. Therefore i understood specific jobs i should seek and i searched and found a few companies to my interests. I kept visiting those sites to see notifications of job openings. The fact i understood is that one's profile should be good. Every student undergoes internship during their course and for you to be outstanding and to get an upper hand in placements it is always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course. 

You can also go for higher studies to make your career firm. It is always beneficiary for a production engineer to opt MBA as his higher studies. I as a production engineer prefer MBA because we mainly get placed in production management etc. It is because unlike other branches production engineering involves management. MBA is going to help you a lot. It is better to get a work experience of 2 years in a manufacturing or core company and then go for MBA. If you have a work experience of 3 years in any manufacturing or core companies then you can also go for executive MBA that unlike other MBA's can be completed in 1 year( because of your work experience).

And for those who want to do post graduation in the technical side it is better to do MS abroad in good colleges. The scope of doing MS abroad is too high(especially in Europe). The facility is great and the research is too good. The necessary criteria to do MS abroad is write Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and get a good score. Next is English proficiency tests such as IELTS, TOEFL etc. Get at least 6.5 out 9 to get admissions in  college abroad. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value. In India graduates who are interested in research go for M.Tech. But i highly recommend NIT's or IIT's for M.Tech.
