Q2.What
are personal Attributes required for a Engineer ?
A2.Engineering
being the practical application of science, aspiring students need a solid foundation
in mathematics, physics and chemistry. Good logical and mental ability, problem
solving skills and an ability to grasp concepts quickly are essential. An ability
to express oneself using figures and words, perseverance and judgement are some
of the other skills required. During the duration of the engineering course
students are required to put in long hours of study, work with tools and work
in teams.
Q3.What
is the Eligibility ?
A3.
To be eligible for a diploma in engineering, one must clear the 10th Std. board
exam successfully. Admission is based on marks scored in Std. X board exam.
To be eligible for bachelor's degree course, one must clear the 12th std. board
exam successfully in the science stream with Physics, Chemistry and Maths as
compulsory subjects. Several states and IITs have an entrance exam for admission
into engineering, colleges in other states grant admission based on marks scored
in 12th Std. exam, particularly in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry and Maths.
Diploma holders can also get direct admission into second year of engineering
in the same stream in which they have completed their diploma. For a master's
level course, one must complete the bachelor's degree program successfully.
Further Studies After graduating students can go in for postgraduate studies
in India or abroad that will culminate in a master’s degree. Further studies
up to Ph.D. level is also an option.
Q4.
What are the Career Prospects After graduating in engineering ?
A4.
Candidates can either join the private sector, public sector or the government.
In the government engineers can appear for the "Indian Engineering Services"
exam conducted by the UPSC at the national level or join various departments
at the state level through their respective exams. The armed forces also induct
a number of engineering graduates every year. Other departments such as the
civil aviation department also recruit engineers. Engineers can also join the
Merchant Navy. Detailed career prospects are mentioned in respective articles
on various branches of engineering. Future Scenario The reform process has seen
India integrating with the global economy. Globalisation and liberalisation
have seen the entry of multinational companies into India in all sectors . Due
to the huge potential for infrastructure development there is a good demand
for engineers. Telecommunication, electronics, computers and chemical engineers
are likely to be in good demand. Mechanical and civil engineers can also look
forward to ample job opportunities.
