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). R&D jobs in research labs, government, academic institutions; Process Engineering jobs for designing and optimizing manufacturing processes; Quality and Consulting.

Ans: Good question. Since already he is with TATA Power I will advise him to stick to their only for job security and brand name of TATA. If he wants to flourish further he has to leave the country and again he has to search job in European countries. Whether USA will accept the MS from Belgium is a great question to me also, But he can join some company which can send him to USA in H-1B visa and if luck permits he will get H-1B visa in lottery, but before that the company must sponsor him for H-1B. If he doesn't want to leave the country then I would advise him to stick to TATA Power only. He can go for an online MBA ( stream he will choose) which will be a feather in his cap.
Be in touch with me, follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN also.. Don't worry. Everything will be fine. I counselled thousands of students. GOD BLESS YOUR SON. Regards.Professor............................:)
