M echanical Engineer ing - The Hi ndu

Mechanical Engineering  I am doing Plus Two in the science stream and intend to pursue a career in Mechanical Engineering. Let me know about the higher study options and scope of this branch on taking a B.Tech. degree and the related job prospects. Akash P.T. E-mail Mechanical Engineering, the broadest of all engineering disciplines, deals with the design and production of tools, machines and other mechanical equipment. The evergreen branch is connected with Production Engineering and Automobile Engineering. Those who have done Plus Two with Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry or Biotechnology or Computer Science can opt for the B.Tech. course in Mechanical Engineering, as many smart students have been doing all these years. After taking the degree, do postgraduate specialisation in Manufacturing, Thermal Engineering, Machines Design, Management and so on. Or join a course in Mechatronics, Nanotechnology or Robotics. Ph.D. programmes are another option.

Those who get a high score in the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE), a qualifying test for scholarships and fellowships, have many higher study options after taking the B.Tech. degree. Engineering graduates and final year B.Tech students may  take GATE, which is conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs). To score a high percentile in GATE, go deep into the subject, which will help you get good marks in the B.Tech. examinations as well. The IITs and the National Institutes of Technology (NITs) are among the top premier institutes that offer the M.Tech. course in Mechanical Engineering. After taking the postgraduate degree, join a research programme leading to a Ph.D.. The All India Council for Technical Education offers fellowships for research scholars. The IITs Madras (www.iitm.ac.in), Kanpur (www.iitk.ac.in), Kharagpur chr om e- extension://iooicodkiihhpoj m m eghjclgihfjdjhj /fr ont/i n_isolation/r efor m at.htm l
