Got a Ranking in Engineering Entrance Exams-Now What ?
Exams are over and results are out
now what next.....?
Most of the students are very happy that they have got good marks....but few of them are sad.
But those who are having good marks and cleared
engineering entrance examination are still worried. Why ?
• Whether they will get admission in good college or not?
• What will be the Cut off percentage of different colleges ?
• What are the different courses available in different colleges ?
• Which branch should i take ?
• Which college i will get at this rank ?
Here we will discuss these question in detail but one by one
This question is very difficult because if u ask X,Y,Z then u will get
X,Y,Z answer....but what is right for u let examine yourself..give the
answer some of the question honestly and then decide yourself.
What is your criteria for choosing a branch?
(a) Job Opportunity
(b) Money
(c) Parents wish
(d) Your interest
(a)
Job opportunity: This is the most important criteria for choosing a branch in a cut throat competition environment. This is true that branches like computer science, Information Technology and electronics are amongst the huge job provider and
that's why they are the first choice of most of the students in last
years counselling. But it's not means that other branches are less
important as far as job opportunity is concerned, other branches are
equally good the only difference is that most of the software industry
are mass recruiter but core industry are not.
(b) Money :This is also one of the most important factor for choosing a branch.The answer of this question is very difficult because money making is depend upon individual talent not on your branch.
It does not mean that if you are in computer science, Information
Technology or electronics (which are the most preferred choice of
students) then you will make a lot of money....even in other branches
like mechanical, electrical, chemical or production, civil etc. you can
make money. It is one of the misconception that software engineer are
making more money. Only few of them are able to do it and again it's
depend on your talent and hard work so no particular branch is
moneymaker and in every branch you can make money.
(c) Parents Wish: This option is very emotional and
worth meaning. Most of the parents wants only those branch in which job
opportunity and money are more so for parents i request please go
through above paragraphs and don't force your children to go for a
particular branch only because of particular reason.
(d) Your Interest: this is the most important and worthy factor which is ignored by most of the parents and students. As mentioned earlier that each and every branch okay. It Is your intrest that make money and satisfaction.because after four year of your graduation u will be in industry and then whole of your life will be with same branch and work which u have opted today.....if you are interested in it then ii is good but if you are not then the words tension,stress,dissatisfaction, depression will come into picture because you are working for money not for your interest and hobby.You are working with those things which you have not liked in your four year of graduation but now you have to pass whole of your life with this branch. So always keep your interest first.
How to choose an Engineering College ?
The right engineering college for you
The question arises that how to decide a college when there are
thousands of engineering colleges in India. In this article we will
discuss some of the
features of colleges which will help you choose the right college. There are various factor while deciding a college for admission but always keep in mind the following factors while choosing a college:
Infrastructure: This is the most important factor while choosing a college Infrastructure
does not means good looking building only. It means that whether a
college has sufficient amount of infrastructure according to it's
intake capacity. It include classroom, administrative building,
workshop, computer labs, various laboratories etc. Because during your
four year of graduation you need all these things, so keep it your first preference while choosing a college.
Faculty:
Having
a good infrastructure is not enough only. After having a sufficient
infrastructure it is the faculty that make it useful, otherwise it will
be a school without a teacher. Always have a look on college faculty
which include Professors, reader, lecturer, teacher-student ratio,
visiting faculty, teaching experience etc.
Facilities:
This is another important factor that you have to keep in
mind.Facilities provided by college assist you during your college
period.It include Library, Internet, intranet, hostels, seminar halls,
dispensary, student clubs, gym etc.
Placements:This is the most important factor while deciding a college.
It not mean that it is the first and last criteria to choose a
college. Placements of a college depend upon many factor like it's
infrastructure,faculty,facilities provided by college to it's
student,college rank, past performance of the students in company, and
last but not the least individual talent and personality and many more
factors. Have a look on past placement record of college branch wise as
well as company wise.So keep all the things in mind while deciding a
college.
Extra curricular activities: This is also one of the factor
that should be taken into account because "all work and no play make
jack a dull boy" this is true beacuse you have not to study only but
have to survive in a competitive environment and for that u have to be
a good personality.Extra curricular activities play a very important
role in your personality development.So have a look about extra
activities provided by college like, annual function, sport function,
students club, seminars and workshops, industrial training, social
activities, NCC, NSS etc.
Location: This factor does not play a very important role but
if it is nearby any industrial or software hub then it may be slightly
useful to you as far as your industrial training and placement is
concerned but keep this factor at last.
So now question arises that how you can get so much of information about each and every college there are some tips for you
1.Visit the college web site on Internet
2.consult your seniors
3.visit the college personally if possible
4.Take the help of counsellor
How to choose the right Engineering Branch ?
This is the most difficult question to answer.I will not tell you how to choose a branch but you will tell me that which branch do you like most.
Don't worry i know it is very difficult for you to give the answer so i am here to help you to know your interest in a particular branch. It's very simple just give the answer of some question and then decide yourself that which branch do you like most or which branch suited to you according to your interest.We will discuss branch wise so that you can choose tour branch according to your interest.
Computer Science & Engineering
1.Do you like computer ? (I am not talking about computer games and Internet)
2.Do you want to do something new in computer ?
3.Do you always experiment with your computer and surprise others ?
4 Are you strong enough in mathematics and logic making skills ?
5.Do you like puzzles ?
6.Are you having a good IQ.
Electrical & Electronics
1. Have you ever open your switch board and repair it ?
2. Do you want to know the functioning of your home electrical appliances ?
3. Do you want to know what is really going on in a computer CPU ?
4. Are u interested in sensors & transistor ?
5. Do you want to make your own robot ?
If yes then this is the branch for you, again there is a small
difference in electrical and electronics most of the syllabus content
are same. In most college theses are separate branches but in some
college they are same. In short we can say that electronics is subset
of electrical. As far as placement and job opportunity is concerned then
it depend from college to college.
Mechanical & production Engineering
1.Are you interested in bike and cars design ?
2.Do you take interest in functioning of daily routine things ?
3.Do you ask basic question to your teachers(i.e how this works ? how that works ?)
4.Do you like physics ?
5.Do you like to make some new mechanism ?
6.Do you like to use your engineering skills for a common man life ?
if yes then you are at right place this is the branch for you. This
branch require a real hard work. In most of the colleges mechanical and
production are different branches but there syllabus content are more
or less similar but in few college this is combine. There is a
misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared
to computer science and electronics. Again it's depend upon individual
.This is called evergreen branch ,now a days there are a lot of job
opportunity and money in this sector if you have talent and ready to
work hard.
Civil Engineering
1.Are you interested in building making ?
2.Are you ready to rock the world by your talent ?
3.Have you ever think how this can be done after seeing a building ?
if yes then this is the branch for you. There is a misconception that
in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to others branch.
It is not so, if you are hardworking and talented then there are a lot
of opportunity in this sector.
Other Branches
There are so many other Branches of Engineering like Architecture,Agriculture,AeroSpace,Aeronautical,Automobile,Chemical,Instrumentation,Mining,Maritime,Nautical Science,Petroleum,Telecommunication,IT,Thermal Power,Nanotechnology,Bio Medical,Petro Chemical and many more..............................
Then best of luck and go ahead. I think now you can decide your branch.
Got a wrong branch - What to do ?
This is the problem of most of the students. After the admission they
realize that they have got the wrong branch or this branch is not for
him/her. This may happen due to your mistake or due to your lower rank.
But this is not the end even now you can change your branch or can do
something else. Surprised ! Yes it is true I will tell you how this is
possible ?
If you have taken admission through AIEEE in NIT's then it is possible there are two ways.
1.Branch sliding
2.Branch change
- Branch sliding
After your
admission any NIT in the month of September-December if any of the
seat in any branch remain vacant due to some reason then it is filled by
the respective candidate of that state or UT on the basis of your
AIEEE rank. Here you have a good chance to change your branch once more
but it totally depends upon
(a) No. of seat vacant
(b)Your AIEEE rank
if your branch is not changed till now then don't worry
you will have another chance to change your branch and this time it
will be totally depend upon you and your academic performance
throughout first year. This is a golden chance for you.
2.Branch change:
This happens at the end of second semester to give a chance of
meritorious student to change their branch but rules are different from
institute to institute. Like
(a) Minimum no of marks/CGPA(combined grand performance index)required in your first year
(b) Max. no of seat available for branch change.
Here it totally depends upon your academic performance
so be ready for this and work hard throughout year to catch this
opportunity.
So
enjoy your studies and best of luck
