Think rationally, about the whys::
1) Why have you chosen engineering?
2) What are your interests in here or what are you really up to?
If the picture is not clear here are some checks which may help you-
1) if you are passionate about engineering- go for the branch of your interest, name and reputation of college takes the back seat.
Now how to decide the branch of your interest?
Well if are some comp geek or have some passion for games and websites then you may have coding gene in you. Or if you have some coding experience and it was to your liking go for Computer science as you first preference and Information technology as your second. Note IT is not available in IITs. The drawback with IT is, it is not much recognized as a branch but is seen like something that has manifest itself due to demand and boom in IT sector. The smart money is on rather normal growth and potential in this sector or even some dip following the economic crisis that has been lurking for quite a while now.
Well not a coding warrior you can go for Electronics and communication/telecommunication (ECE/ ETE), the ever green branch with good scope as well as pay checks. Please note it is different from Electrical and electronics (EE), the difference being that the later is less cool and more hectic as I have seen, less rewarding too. The stress in case of the former is on the small components that make our electronic devices like semiconductors, ICs, chips, printed boards, example being the core hardware of any computer. In case of the later you will take on giant electronics which we see all around us, the line cables, transformers, motors etc. it is a millennium long trend that people prefer ECE over EE.
The hardware fantasy, the base of the world we see around us, Mechanical, is arguably the most cool branch of engineering, definitely not for girls due to the heavy duty, physical that comes along. From robotics to automobile to aerospace all is mechanical at its heart. It is not just about some sweating hard work in labs but also involves design and other applications.
Civil is expected to become one major player in the infrastructure and construction boom in most developing nation including
Chemical is an evergreen branch and boosts a constant growth. Do you have some interest for chemistry the mystery?
Metallurgy can be preferred over mining engineering because it poses better scope.
2) Not a genuine engineer inside? Go for the coolest ones the ones with good packages and involve minimum effort. Comps, IT, Mech, Civil make the cut. They are listed in order of my preference. Name, reputation of college takes control, tags really matter in your case. I made a mistake in this regard. You are anyway going to take a different road, non engineering one. So it ll be better to be know by the reputation of coll, that establishes you as some sort of performer, a guy with apti or tenacity or whatever. For example an IITian tag is much better than some good branch in non IIT coll when your concern does not involve branch, atleast the tag signifies you cracked JEE.
So..make the r8 decision and go ahead and come out in flying colors.....hope this helped u guys....plz add ur valuable comments....
