    Inspired from this post about <a href="https://www.crazyengineers.com/threads/confusion-after-b-tech-ece.60036">Confusion After B.Tech (ECE).</a> engineers, I thought we should have such a thread for all engineering branches. A lot of us have experience in the industry and are well equipped to lay down the options available.

    Many engineers have confusion after final year B.Tech and start looking for all the options they have. If you are such an engineer, please post your queries below.

    For regular members, I appeal you to post the career options available after B.Tech or B.E. in mechanical engineering. I am sure this post will help a lot of current engineering students as well as degree holders.

    One option for B.Tech mechanical engineers is get a job in government sector.
    This could include, various positions in:
    • ONGC (Oil & Natural Gas Corporation)
    • DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization)
    • SAIL (Steel Authority of India)
    • NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation)
    • VSSC (Vikram Sarabhai Space Center)
    • ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation)
    • IOC (Indian Oil Corporation)
    • etc..

    Another idea that comes to mind is go for GATE Mechanical Engineering. This could let you pursue:

    M.Tech or M.E. (Mechanical Engineering)
    Here you can choose some subject for specialization.
    • Automobile Engineering
    • Industrial Engineering
    • Thermal Engineering
    • Product Design and Development
    • Computer Integrated Manufacturing
    • Manufacturing Engineering
    • Material Technology
    • Engineering Design
    • Computer Aided Design & Manufacturing
    • Energy Engineering & Management
    • Mechatronics Engineering
    • etc.
    Another idea is to go for a career in IT Sector to work on mechanical/automobile related projects.
    Following companies regularly recruit Mechanical Engineers in India for various IT-Mech projects:
    • Infosys
    • Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)
    • Wipro
    • IBM
    • Tata Technologies
    • Accenture
    Another idea is to go for M.S. from abroad universities

    There are many specialized programs to suit your interests. Major countries that have top ranking universities for students wanting to pursue in a branch related to Mechanical engineering for M.S. (Master of Sciences) are:

    • USA
    • Germany
    • Japan
    These are very broad ideas. Let's keep updating this thread with more ideas and offbeat options for mechanical engineering students.

    There are no courses that'd directly promise a job in MNC. Pick up any course that is relevant to your engineering discipline and excel at it. That's the right way to get a good job.

    Yes. MIT offers courses; but I'm not sure if those would get you into MNC. Do check for college's track record before you make time+money investment.

    #-Link-Snipped-# - Your strategy of uploading your resume on public website is likely not to work. Also, are you sure you want 'any' government job?

    Sadly, that's the case with many engineering students across India. So, be assured that you are not alone. It's the fault with the education system that students don't feel compelled to take the right decision early in their career.

    Why do you think you would not? I am sure there will be tons of opportunities in campus placements and later for freshers hiring. Make sure you study well, know your core subjects well and keep on a lookout for what the industry needs and develop your skill set. You will definitely land a good job.

    I don' think a mechanical engineer can get placement in normal colleges. After completing studies the ppl who want settle in core field without any reference are facing worst situation. they have to take the resume and keep on moving roads from one company to another. because in core field, there are few companies who will accept the freshers and those jobs are mostly given to referenced people.

    If any Mechanical Graduates/Diploma Students want to get a job in core field,then one of the best option is HVAC Design & Drafting course. It is related to Mechanical engineers. Dhanush MEP Centre(India’s 1st NSDC Approved Training Partner) is providing the best Training & placement Assistance. Check the Career path & Scope in their website.

    #-Link-Snipped-# You need to appear for GATE to be eligible for selection as Graduate trainee in most PSUs. We recommend that you go and check the official website of each of the above listed organisations and see the eligibility criteria. It mentions that you need a valid GATE Score. So, if you haven't already started, you can start preparing for the exam.
