Chemical engineering if pursued sincerely is highly profitable and the scope in India is huge. We are the top paid when compared with the pass outs of other branches and lately there has been a boom in this field and placements are sure. But first you should know what chemical engineering is because students have a misconception about it. A common fear that the work conditions of chemical engineers are hazardous is a fluke. Chemical engineers work in safe environment and direct contact with chemicals is minimum. Chemical engineers in India recruited in many sectors. Some being : petroleum and petrochemicals, paper, fertilizers, rubber, pharmaceuticals, organic and inorganic industries etc. Petroleum and the pharmaceutical sectors are booming and quite in demand.
Some of the major companies are listed below :
In petroleum and gases
- Reliance industries
- Essar oils
- Gujarat oils
- ONGC
- BPCL
Fertilizers
- Indo Gulf fertilizers
- Fertilizers and Chemicals Travancore Ltd
- Coromandel fertilizers
Some other companies being :
- Bengal Chemical and Pharmaceuticals
- Orissa Drugs and Chemical Ltd
- Indian Drugs and Pharmaceutical Ltd (IDPL)
- Bihar Drugs and Organic Chemical Ltd
- Naramada colours pvt ltd
- Honeywell
- Indian Drugs and Pharmaceuticals Ltd
- Aditya Birla Chemicals
- Arati Industries Ltd
- L&T
Many students also get recruited to the IT sector. A student desiring such option must additionally have knowledge of any of the computer languages. Some of the companies being TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS etc. But it is always best to go for core companies. 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. The undergraduates can take M.Tech or MS in various fields and courses are offered in various IIT's and NIT's in India. The topics being : environmental engineering, piping and design, nanotechnology, metallurgy, chemical engineering etc. The students can also take up research options in their interested fields and earn while pursuing their course. You need to write GATE to get into IIT's and NIT's. The companies these days consider GATE score too for recruitment and therefore preparing for GATE is very important. You can also do MS in India and abroad as well. The students can take up research options in their interested field and earn while pursuing their course. The basic 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 atleast 6.5 out 9 to get admissions
in college abroad. To do MS in US or UK is too high its not easy to
extend your visa after your course. But you can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.

I have written about production engineering in my previous post. First you have to understand the fact that production B.Tech is equivalent to mechanical B.Tech. So you can apply for mechanical job posts. May be you are worried because there is no news of job openings for production engineers in South India. This is because in south India, companies fill the posts for production engineers with mechanical engineers. This doesn't mean they do not take production engineers. It is just due to lack of production engineers. This is because there is just less colleges in south India which gives production B.Tech degree. But in north India companies need only production engineers to fill production posts. So scope is not less because you can fill both production and mechanical posts. Its best to get work experience of 2 years in a company and then try for a job abroad. The pay scale will be more and it is easy to get settled there.
Scope of production engineering is much more than you can think. 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).
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.
Each subject that you study during your course can get you a job and therefore focus a little on the concepts and during the course you will certainly love a subject or two. For example i fell in love with Industrial Automation and Inspection & Quality control. Therefore i understood what kind of jobs i should seek and so i searched and found a few companies relating to my interests. I kept visiting those sites to see notifications of job openings. One thing i understood is that you should have a good profile. Every student undergoes internship during their course and for you to be unique and to get an upper hand in placements its always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course. There are a lot of companies in India and around the world who hires production engineers.
I will mention a few companies who requires production engineer :
- NALCO
- SAIL
- TATA STEEL
- TCIL
- TATA MOTORS
- VOLVO
- SYNTHITE
- ONGC
- FACT
- ISRO
- AIRFORCE (TECHNICAL ENGINEER)
- HAL etc.
I haven't mentioned any IT companies because all IT companies take engineers( irrespective of their branch). 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 involves a lot of management. So MBA is going to help you a lot. Its 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 which unlike other MBA's can be completed in 1 year( because of your work experience).
But If you are interested in the technical side so much then you can go for M.Tech. You
should write GATE exam and obtain good score to do M.Tech in IIT's and
NIT's in India. You also need good GATE score to get placed in core
companies such as BHEL, SAIL, NTPC etc( Navaratna companies). But If you are going for M.Tech i highly recommend to do it in IIT's or NIT's. You can also do MS in India and abroad as well. M.Tech mainly consists of engineering while MS consists of engineering and research (a lot). The scope of doing MS abroad is so high(especially in Europe). The facility is great and the research over there is too good. The basic 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 atleast 6.5 out 9 to get admissions in college abroad. To do MS in US or UK is too high its not easy to extend your visa after your course. But you can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.

What is bio-medical engineering? What is its scope? You know that a bio-medical engineer deals with the sales and services of medical equipments. So there will be a huge scope in bio-medical engineering until world arrives to a situation where no hospitals are functional. If you are a little business minded you can make a huge profit in the sales section of medical equipments. My friend worked as a salesman of medical equipments for 2 months. Now he started his own business of distributing. He is making a huge profit.
Well in India the scope of bio-medical engineering is not that much compared to mechanical engineering or civil engineering. For boys its fine because they can go for sales and servicing. For girls it is best to go for research, design and development etc. For that you have to get into a research institute which is not that easy. Bio-medical engineering has a huge scope abroad compared to the scope in India. There is scope in India and you can find a job because there are lots of hospitals and clinics but its not easy to get a very good start. And if you are into sales, it takes time for you to start your own distribution unless you are that good.
Bio-medical engineers are employed in industries,hospitals, research faculties of educational and medical institutes, in teaching, and in government regulatory agencies.You have a lot of scope in the servicing section because now a days its hard to find engineers for servicing. Just consider a country and imagine the number of hospitals, dental clinics, health clinics etc. Nothing functions without medical equipments. And every equipments need periodic servicing. Bio- medical engineers are also required in all medical clinics and hospitals for routine and breakdown maintenance. The work that comes under this are acceptance testing, maintenance planning, risk analysis,routine calibration, preventive maintenance, repairs, maintaining inventory of spare parts etc. The other works are design, development and research of devices, technologies etc. This includes modifying the existing equipment, software development, networking etc.
If you are interested in the research field, that too is good because everyone are trying to invent medical equipments which are flexible, reliable and easy to use. You can go for higher studies or internships. You can opt for M.Tech, MS or MBA. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.

What is electronics and communication engineering? What is its scope? Scope of electronics and communication engineering or EC engineering is huge because modern technology uses electronics, chips, transistors, fibre optics etc and you know that an EC engineer deals with all of these. Scope of EC engineering is so vast that it is applied in every field. The development of the world which includes every area such as telecommunication, satellite, microelectronics, technology etc are all based on electronics engineering. Electronics has also helped in developing health care, automation, signal processing etc. Few fields where electronic engineers get placed are :
- In medical field- Almost all medical equipments are electronic so for the installation and maintenance of those equipments.
- In automobile- The speed dial, air bag systems etc are all based on electronics.
- In modern equipments- For the production, maintenance and repair of computers, laptops, tabs, mobiles etc.
- In communication- Radio,telephones etc.
- In government and private companies- Installation, operation and maintenance of electronics equipments and systems.
- Defence- For design and development of complex devices and systems for signal processing and telecommunication.
- Space and other research organisations- For design and development of complex devices and systems for signal processing and telecommunication.
- Electronic industries- Design and fabrication of devices, embedded systems, electronic equipments etc.
- Process industries- For instrumentation and control of electronic devices.
- IT companies- They are well preferred as IT professionals.
- Manufacturing- PCB, IC etc.
A lot of EC students end up in software companies. During your course try to understand the concepts and go in depth, only then can you get into a core company. Almost every student undergoes internship during their course. But for you to be unique and to get an upper hand in placements its always better to do internship abroad during your engineering course. In India there are a lot of companies who hire EC engineers. Try to go for multinational companies if possible. You can only get into these companies if you have a good profile and always visit their official sites for any notifications for vacancies.
I will mention a few companies who requires EC engineers :
- BSNL
- LG
- SAMSUNG
- SONY ERICSON
- NOKIA
- PHILIPS
- PANASONIC
- ISRO
- DRDO
- BHEL
- NTPC
- BARC
- SAIL
- ELECTRICITY BOARD
- RAILWAY DEPARTMENT etc.
I haven't mentioned any IT companies because every IT companies hire EC engineers like TCS, Infosys etc. You can also go for higher studies to make your career strong. In India you can go for M.Tech in IIT's and NIT's. For that you must appear for the GATE exam and get a good score. Even if you are not interested in doing higher studies, your GATE score is going to a get you a good job because a lot of government companies consider your GATE score. You can also go for MS in India or anroad but the expense to do it abroad is high. Well if you are planning to do MS then better do it abroad because in India the value is less. MS is mainly engineering and research whereas M.Tech is just engineering. You can choose according to your taste. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.

A few people have a misconception about aeronautical engineering.
"Will i be able to fly an airplane one day?" will be the first thing a
student who is planning to join a UG course thinks. He/she will ask
someone about the doubt and the person explains that there are not
many opportunities because there are a lot of pilots these days. Well
the truth is that you become an aeronautical engineer after the course
and not a pilot. Well to be a pilot you should join a
flying/aviation center and get a flying license (can do after school).
A lot of companies hire aeronautical engineers to do the following work :
- For the construction of aircrafts
- For the testing purposes such as efficiency testing, flight testing etc
- For the design purposes such as airframe design, engine design etc
- For the maintenance of aircrafts
- For the functioning of aircrafts
- For the manufacturing of aircrafts
- For investigation purposes such as airplane crashes, impact on environment etc
- AS flight controllers or air traffic controllers.
The companies which hire aeronautical engineers are
commercial aviation companies, space research agencies, civil aviation,
research centers (industrial, government and academic). Few of the top
companies which employ aeronautical engineers are
- Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL)
- Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
- Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)
- National Aeronautical Lab (NAL)
- Airline companies such as Indian Airlines, Spicejet etc
The job of an aeronautical engineer is a very prestigious one
and the pay is very good. It should be every engineers dream to get
into NASA. A lot of Indian aeronautical engineers has accomplished their
dream of getting into NASA. Try to join the top Indian colleges if
possible. IISc and few IIT's have aeronautical engineering. Other
colleges (not all) which offer aeronautical engineering are
GATE, Hindustan college of engineering, Punjab engineering college, S.C
Moitra Air Technical Training Institute, IIST (trivandram), BIT (mesra)
etc. There are a lot of colleges in Tamil Nadu. You can also go for
higher studies to get more knowledge and to increase your pay and
chances of getting into top companies of the world. You can also go for a
flying course after aeronautical engineering to be a pilot. You can also do post graduation cheaply but with more value.
