Do You Aspire To Become Engineer? Here Are Most Popular Engineering Streams

Bhubaneswar: Multiple degrees are offered with different specialisation in the engineering streams every year. Lakhs of students go through the tough process of competitive exams like The JEE (Mains and Advanced) and several other entrance exams according to the college/institute rankings.

Meritorious students sometimes stumble on which course to pursue. The modern era has scope for engineering in different disciplines. Ranging from medical sciences to computers, engineering degrees are important in each of the domains.

Before making any progress, students should know all the options on offer and study them minutely. Below is the list of the most lucrative engineering streams offered by the colleges:

Computer Science/IT Engineering

Computer Science Engineering is one of the most sought-after streams in engineering. The reason is simple, that the computers have made an entry into our daily lives and this has high demand both among students and employers. Society is dependent on computers from online shopping to ticket booking for travelling. This makes the stream a first-choice for many after Class XII exams.

Mechanical Engineering

In terms of application, mechanical engineering comes after the computer science stream. The industry needs mechanical engineering for every moving part to oversee the whole process. Ranging from the steel sector to railways, power plants or manufacturing, the mechanical engineers’ demand will never dip. Renowned mechanical engineering colleges give the exposure that a candidate requires.

Electronics & Communications Engineering

The electronic engineers’ demand started increasing only recently and is currently at its peak. The semiconductors — both large and small — have become a necessity in every industry and electronics engineers make those designs. This stream has overtaken its parent branch electrical in terms of popularity.

Electrical engineering

Electrical is still one of the most stable streams as students of this course are always in the need. Despite the shrinking of jobs, this is still the most diverse engineering stream. With the knowledge in core electrical subjects, candidates will also have basic knowledge in a variety of computer science, mechanical and electronics topics.

Civil engineering

This the oldest form of engineering in which the demands for skilled professionals has only rocketed in the last decade or so. Any infrastructural construction needs the brain and the expertise of a civil engineer. This makes this stream ever popular because of its scope of infrastructural projects.
