Choosing the
right institution and branch
of study having good career potentials are
often, beyond the control of individuals. Those who
want to enter the job market without entering the portals
of engineering colleges can opt for the Special Class
Railway Apprentices' Examination conducted annually
by the Union Public Service Commission. The eligibility
requirement is a pass in 10+2 examination with Mathematics
and Physics or Chemistry. Successful completion of the
apprenticeship leads to the absorption in the Indian
Railway Services of Mechanical Engineers. The Department
of Secondary Education and Higher Education operates
the National Schemes of Apprenticeship Training among
others, for engineering graduates. The Scheme, however,
does not guarantee any employment after completion of
the training.
Both the Central and State governments continue to
be the major employers of engineers particularly in
such branches as Civil, Mechanical, Electrical,
and Electronics Engineering. As regards the
Central Government, the Union Public Service Commission
conducts an annual Engineering Services Examination
for recruitment to the Group A Services and posts in
various technical departments and establishments. The
Services fall into four categories, viz., Civil Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and
Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering.
The eligibility requirement is a degree in
engineering or Associate Memberships
of professional institutions which are recognised
by the UPSC as equivalent to engineering degree. Holders
of M.Sc degrees or its equivalent with Wireless Communications,
Electronics, Radio Physics or Radio Engineering as special
subjects of study, are acceptable only for certain services
and posts.
The near demise of public sector industries, which
at one point of time used to absorb a large number of
engineering graduates, has considerably shrunken the
scope of employment in this sector. Though the corresponding
growth in the private sector is not very encouraging,
it is still the best bet for engineers seeking lucrative
careers.
Since it is the age of specialisation, acquisition
of a postgraduate degree (M.E/M.Tech) preferably in
newly emerging areas would go a long way in ensuring
a satisfying career. For example, the Department of
Atomic Energy (DAE) offers excellent career opportunities
for motivated engineering postgraduates in its different
units including Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd.,
and Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (Kalpakkam).
The activities of the Department being multi-disciplinary
in nature, it needs post-graduates in several engineering
branches. The Training School of the Bhaba Atomic Research
Centre (Mumbai-400085) organises annual Orientation
Courses for Engineering Graduates and Science Postgraduates
(OCES) and Engineering Postgraduates (OCEP) of five-month
duration. On successful completion of the course, candidates
are appointed in any of the units of the DAE as Scientific
Officers grossing about Rs.15,000.00 per month.
