Need Help! I want to change my career from mechanical to IT

Nitin PahwaIf I join IT field, will I face problems in future due to non-relevancy of my education and job

.

As far as selection to companies like Infosys, Cognizant is concerned, the life is not that difficult. The only requirement to enter these organizations is basic programming skills like data structures, sorting, working with strings, databases etc. In fact, in my batch there were lot of mechanical and electrical engineers who successfully aced the interview and written examinations. So, do not worry about it so much.

Nitin PahwaIf I switch to another IT company after some experience in previous IT company, will I face problems while getting selected?

Once you have gained some experience in the IT corporate, you will not face any problem in switching to another IT firm. In fact, the experience that you will gain in the first firm will go a long way in establishing you in other organizations as well.

If I don't get selected in MNC's, then which course should I do? JAVA or PHP or Software testing?

what is your objective behind learning one of the three technologies that you mentioned ? Elaborate on this.

As #-Link-Snipped-# mentioned, your degree or even qualifications won't matter once you're gained some experience. Most of the lateral recruitments are based upon your past professional experience.

You need to be absolutely sure why you wish to get into IT. It's a challenging field where you'll have to keep learning technologies and programming languages relevant to project you're working on.

In order to get into companies like Infosys or TCS and others, you'll need to be reasonably good at the basics of programming. You can take up any course - say Java or .Net and learn how software is built. You'll also have to be good at aptitude tests, logical reasoning etc. in order to get through the recruitment process.
