If you have just cleared your 12th and have an aptitude for science and engineering, there are a number of options in front of you. Which branch of engineering should I go for? Which college is good for a particular branch? How do I know which branch is good for me? These are some common questions every school graduate might face when going for Engineering. In this article, we will try to answer some of these questions, and help you find your true calling. Below are several questions that you need to answer yourself without being biased or influenced by any external advice. Be honest to yourself, and make the right decisions.
Some questions to help you make the right decision of selecting an Engineering Branch or College
1. The first question is, Do you have the ability to dive into technical knowledge and keep yourself updated throughout the course? A. If you can do that, then you can definitely perform well in your studies. You will always enjoy learning new things and not pass through by giving exams.
2. Do you plan on doing an MBA/MTech or other higher studies after B.Tech? A. This question holds importance as if you are planning to further your studies, your graduation college can be an average college. You can focus on getting a reputed college for your post-graduation.
3. Do you plan on joining a family business after working in a company? A. If you do, then your primary goal should be to get good practical knowledge from your college. Your college name won’t matter much if you have a business of your own to run.
4. Are you studious in nature or academically gifted? A. This is a great quality if you plan to switch your courses after 1st year of engineering if you are not sure about it. You can catch up later with the new course and manage good marks.
5. Do you wish to work for MNC’s or large organizations and not for startups and small scale businesses? A. Then you should study hard for entrance exams and get yourself in a reputed college. A college with a reputation can highly affect your chances of getting into an MNC as a fresher. All you will need in the interview will be your personality and basics of your studies to get selected.
These are a few questions that you may think before getting into engineering. If you have no knowledge about the various branches, you can always research on the internet to find what’s right for you. However, if you are confused about which branch can benefit you in the future, you need to think about the future and your own background.
In the end, it’s up to the student to study and gain knowledge. Getting in a well-reputed college is always a plus point, but don’t let it stop you from reaching your true potential.
