Career Opportunities
Mechanical Engineering is the most Versatile and Core branch of Engineering comprising of Thermal, Design and Production streams. Increasing Competition and Complex Technological Breakthrough has widened the scope of Mechanical Engineering Branch.
Mechanical Engineering is basic to any industrial activity and industrial sector in general, finds wide applications in all fields of technology.
Mechanical Engineers are required in industries like Aeronautical, Marine, Automobile, Electrical and Electronics industries, Software/Hardware/IT, Production and Manufacturing industries, Oil Exploration and Refinery, Foundries and Steel Plants, Power Plants, Agro based industries, Chemical and processing industries, Textile industries, Fertilizer industries etc.
Economic Liberalization and Changing Economic Scenario has created very good opportunity for the Mechanical Engineers to play a vital role in setting up their own Ancillary units, Design and Manufacture Assemblies and Subassemblies required for medium and large industries, Establishing service centers for maintenance and repair of equipments and machineries.
Mechanical Engineers will also be recruited in government sectors like ordnance factories, Research and Development organizations, Space research programs, State PWDs, Electricity boards, Military officers, IAS, IPS, and IES officers etc.
