Have you ever thought of the people behind all the technology that makes things around us easier- from mobile phones to computers, from remotes that control almost everything around us to cameras that help you monitor your home when you are away. These are a result of the tireless efforts of a group of individuals who refer to themselves as "Engineers". If you have a technical bent of mind with perseverance to solve a given problem and are looking for a challenging profession then Engineering offers you a variety of fields best suited for you.
To get through a reputed engineering college needs a lot of commitment from very early on in your student life. It takes dedicated hard work and perseverance to study for various competitive exams. Once through an engineering college, your life doesn`t get easy as it takes a lot of involvement in the subject in order to master it. It`s not only the knowledge that you need to acquire but also the skill to practically implement that knowledge. Once you enter an industry, you will be surrounded with challenges and problems of the job floor, where in your knowledge will be put to practical test. It`s a lot of team work and perseverance that drives innovation.
You need to have passed your 10+2 exam with science subjects, which include physics, chemistry and mathematics, and any one of the following subjects -biology, biotechnology, or computer science. Entry to most four-year BE/ BTech courses is either through an all-India level, entrance exam, such as IIT-JEE, AIEEE, etc, or through state-level exams. There are many colleges which offer admission based on merit. Another option available to students is to pursue a diploma in engineering.
Apart from technical knowledge and subject skills, you need soft skills such as good communication skills, along with creative thinking, commitment and confidence. You need perseverance as you will be surrounded with various challenges all the time and should be prepared for long hours of work. The drive and desire to innovate along with imagination will engineer success in the long run.
Engineering course fees vary a lot from institutes and countries. State and country funded Institutions have nominal fees where as private institutions have high fees divided into semesters. Plan your finances as it`s a four year long program which can run into six years if you plan to masters as well. Educational loan is easy to get if you manage to get through a reputed Institution. There are various companies which give out scholarships to meritorious students, besides the scholarships available from the institute.
As an engineer you can rise to managerial positions within a few years and can lead a team. Engineers have an employment potential in different industries which makes it easier to change tracks. For instance, the IT sector normally employs engineers from a variety of engineering disciplines. You will have ample employment opportunities in the public or private sector and can also start a business in your area of expertise.
