Engineering jobs in India opens doors to a huge number of vacancies. It is a job based entirely on technical skills and expertise. When it comes to choosing jobs you have a wider choice in this field than any other profession. This is because this field is no longer confined to chemical, mechanical, and electrical but also in advanced areas like thermal engineering, vacuum technology, ultrasonic, telecommunication, polymer technology, computers and others.

Engineering Areas of work/ Types of Engineering Jobs
Entry level engineering jobs require you to design and manufacture the hardware of life. Repairing, modifying and constructing efficient and economical products, is also part and parcel of their job. In India engineering has several branches. The entire branch has its own importance. When absorbed as an engineer in a company you have to work in tandem with engineers of many other fields. Some other engineering fields in India are:

• Civil Engineering

Study of Engineering in India
If you wish to become an engineer you need to study science as your higher secondary course. If you have basic knowledge of physics, chemistry and mathematics you can apply for admission to various engineering colleges in India. The cutoff percentage for being eligible for admissions varies from college to college. Most reputed colleges take students after conducting a test on all-India. The most sought after engineering institutes in India are the IITs.
Other common entrance tests for admissions to the top engineering colleges in India include GATE, and JMET. A few top engineering colleges in India like IIT, Delhi even offer short term courses on various subjects.
Many colleges take in candidates on the basis of the percentage marks got in class XII (in physics, chemistry and mathematics). Several institutes give importance to marks scored in national common tests. The IITs hold a Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) for the admission to the seven IITs.

Engineering Colleges
India has many well known engineering institutes that offer both under graduate and post graduate engineering courses. Apart from the four metropolitan cities in India, top engineering colleges are located in cities like Roorkee, Kanpur, Guwahati, Kharagpur, Varanasi, Vellore, Pilani, Kota and Allahabad among several others. All of these colleges offer research programs that can be compared to the very best in the world. State engineering colleges take in students with state domicile, but reserve some seats for students from other states.

Scope of Engineering in India
Every engineering college in India has a very active placement cell. They invite top companies for recruitment at the campus. Companies interview candidates and choose them. So you need not search for jobs after attaining an engineering degree.
