I'm currently pursuing my B.Tech in electrical engineering (2nd year) from MNNIT, Allahabad. What options are open for me after completing my B.Tech?
As an engineering student, after your final year, you will have a lot of options to explore once your degree is complete. It is definitely not that easy but here are a few options to look at:
Private job from College:
- For this, you will need to get a good CGPA and a job in a core electrical company.
- You can think of getting jobs in companies like Consulting, IT or Software companies.
GATE and GRE:
- If you are looking for jobs in the private sector, you can aim to appear for GATE as this will help you secure a really good job in the private sector.
- For this, you need to have good knowledge about your subjects and information regarding the public sector as many PSUs are looking to hire via GATE scores.
- You also have the option of doing an M.Tech from an IIT.
- Lastly, if you are thinking of going abroad, prepare for the GRE and aim for a great score.
MBA:
- If you are not interested in pursuing your current field, try looking for a placement in a consulting or IT firm.
- You can secure an experience of 1 to 2 years and enroll in an MBA course to boost your career.
Entrepreneurship: Another great option to try if you are looking to start a business.
These are mainly some of the top few options you have. You can think about each of them carefully and then decide if you would like to remain in your field or switch over.
Which is better: Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay or Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee?
It would be suggested to pursue Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay rather than Electrical Engineering at IIT Roorkee.
When it comes to studying physics at IITB, there are some key differences between JEE physics and college-level physics. Here are some important points to keep in mind:
- In JEE physics, you study formula derivations after brief explanations of concepts and practice a lot of problems in that topic. College-level physics courses are typically more rigorous in theoretical and mathematical content, and problems are solved to help you understand the concepts more deeply.
- While EE does not have any pure physics courses after the first year, it focuses on making you an electrical engineer. Core courses include analog and digital electronics, signals and systems, network theory, electronic devices, microprocessors, power electronics, and some relevant math courses.
- EP, on the other hand, has core courses like quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, statistics, relativity, classical mechanics, waves and optics, nuclear physics, etc. There are also important math courses up to your second year.
- EP trains you in core physics concepts and prepares you for experimental physics and electronics, giving you many options for your career path. You can work in theoretical or experimental physics, electronics, statistics and stochastics, CS-related research, or pursue higher studies in physics.
- When choosing between IITB and IIT Roorkee, consider factors like the quality of professors, campus culture, and location. IITB has excellent professors, a beautiful campus, and great cultural and sports scenes, and is close to TIFR, which provides opportunities for collaboration.
- When it comes to placements, most EP students go for higher studies because they are passionate about physics. For EE, core and non-core jobs are similar to those for other courses in terms of job security and salary packages.
Finally, the "brand" of IITs, especially IIT Bombay, provides a sense of job security that can be reassuring for graduates.
