Material science graduate from IIT Kanpur: Where are the job opportunities?

Ans: A BTech in Mech Engg from NIT Warangal will open up several opportunities in the 3 sunrise sectors especially from India perspective. Let him work hard and focus on a subject area that will find him opportunities in either of the 3 sectors.

Ans: Your son has a strong educational background with a Mechanical Engineering degree and an upcoming MSc in Physics from IIT. This combination opens up a wide range of job opportunities in both the public and private sectors. Here are some potential job roles and sectors he might consider:

Job Roles:

Research Analyst: Conduct research on physical phenomena, create theories and develop methods on how to apply physical laws and theories.
Observation Scientist: Collect and record data, which enables them to construct and then test hypotheses and theories.
Assistant Scientist: Provide support to the scientist in research and educational subject.
Physics Training Manager: Evaluate employees and identify weaknesses. They research, plan and implement training programs that will prepare employees for the next step of their careers.
Software Engineer: Physics helps with logical thinking, debugging issues, solving complex problems, and working with physics-related applications.
Sectors:

Healthcare: MSc Physics graduates have ample opportunities in sectors like healthcare.
Manufacturing and Electronics Companies: These companies often require individuals with a strong understanding of physics.
Academic Institutions: Both public and private academic institutions often have positions for individuals with a background in physics.
Research Laboratories: These can be in the public or private sector.
Atomic and Space Organizations: Organizations like BARC, ISRO often recruit individuals with a strong background in physics.
Telecommunication Sectors: The principles of physics are often used in this sector.
Remember, the salary can vary based on the role and the organization. A campus placement could get students approximately 9-10 LPA and can increase up to 30 LPA based on the experience gained. In the government sector, salaries range from INR 5,00,000 to INR 7,00,000 per annum.

I would recommend your son to start exploring these opportunities and see which ones align with his interests and career goals. Good luck!

Ans: A BTech degree in Material Science and Metallurgical Engineering opens up job opportunities in in Materials Engineering (in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and renewable energy industry); Metallurgical Engineering jobs (in steel manufacturing, foundries, and metal processing).

Ans: There are several government job opportunities for Computer Science Engineering (CSE) graduates in India across various sectors, such as public sector enterprises (PSUs), research organizations, defense, and more.
Many PSUs recruit CSE graduates based on GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) scores. Some popular PSUs that hire CSE graduates include:

Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL)
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL)
Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL)
National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)
Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL)
ISRO offers numerous opportunities for CSE graduates, particularly in software development, data management, and system engineering.
DRDO recruits CSE engineers for roles related to software engineering, cybersecurity, and system management.
NIC under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology is a major recruiter for CSE graduates for roles like Scientist, Technical Assistant, and IT Manager.
Through the SSC, CSE graduates can apply for technical posts such as Junior Engineer (IT), System Analyst, or Programmer.
If your son is inclined toward academics or research, he can consider becoming a professor or a researcher in government institutions. Universities, IITs, and NITs often have faculty openings or research positions.
