It is rightly said that the ‘World is run by engineers. Most of the tools or services we use today are made by an engineer. And hence, engineering is still one of the most preferred career options universally. Engineering as a career if correctly analyzed is hugely valuable and fruitful for society overall. Thus, it is obvious that lakhs of high school pass-outs begin their journey to finally enter a rapidly evolving industry.
Considering the Indian storyline, India has the largest number of engineers and engineering institutes, among which Avantika University is one of the best engineering colleges in Madhya Pradesh. The credit for this massive growth goes to the prevailing IT Boom and increasing globalization. This has increased the demand for engineers, engineering professionals, and the engineering workforce. Consequently, the need for quality technical education to produce qualified engineering professionals has been on the rise to manage the growing demand.
Below are some of the points to keep in mind before aspirants’ step into the world of engineering.
- Elementary understanding of some subjects
An engineering aspirant is expected to have a basic understanding of some areas before opting to pursue engineering as a career. Engineering entrance exams in India organized by government and private universities, colleges, and institutes evaluate students on some subjects which then form the crux of the engineering courses ahead. Some of these subjects are mathematics, algebra, geometry, chemistry, and biology are a must to study in twelfth grade. Additionally, an aspirant must also have a practical approach and intellect towards life. Adequate rational, scientific, and problem-solving skills are an add-on and can be measured through the results and day-to-day situations.
- Preparing for entrance exams
For an engineering university or college of choice, an aspirant will have to appear for an entrance exam in all probability. In India, there are national-level entrance exams Joint Entrance Examination (JEE), or others like COMEDK UGET for admission to UG engineering courses in Karnataka. Similarly, there are other national-level exams conducted by other states as well.
Speaking about Avantika University – The MIT Pune Campus at Ujjain selects aspirants based on their performance in their senior high school and a personal interview by the faculty of the School of Engineering. Avantika University offers Engineering in Computer Science and Engineering.
- Career Path
A degree in engineering opens a world of opportunities. The career options after engineering are numerous and across different industries as well. Earlier, a career after engineering would depend on the branch chosen. But in the digital age, there are endless options for a graduate as engineering as a field has grown exponentially. For example, a mechanical engineer can even work in the IT sector. In short, it does not matter which sector you want to enter as the skills of an engineer are valued at the present time.
Campus placements, pursuing higher studies, higher studies in management, opting for civil services exams, preparing for competitive exams, or becoming an entrepreneur are some career paths.
- Theoretical knowledge is not enough
Engineering is a technical domain and only subject theory or knowledge of the topic will not be enough. Learning about the topic theoretically and applying it practically is the way of learning here at Avantika University. It is referred to as Project-based Learning which means all the concepts learned will have to be applied in a project. This approach helps students during their internships and when they work in an organization after their placements.
The students must also take up additional certificate courses that are offered. This not only adds value but backs up existing knowledge.
