Question by Ranjan on Apr 26, 2024Hindi

Career

Sir,I have done MTech in Mechanical Engineering (Thermal) in 2019.After that I had worked in Ramco Cement for 2 years.Now preparing for government job after 2022 and also PhD.Kindly tell me government job or PhD will be best for me.

Ans: Ranjan, you have mentioned you started preparing for Govt. Jobs. But NOT mentioned, you have been targeting which Competitive Exams & have you appeared in any Competitive Exams during the last 2 years? How was your performance? Awaiting any results? Based on your preparation and / or the results you got (even if you could not get through), you can still try Govt. Jobs but you should manage your time properly and change your preparation strategies. If you feel, you still can try for Govt. Jobs, you can continue with that. Keeping in view your age factor, try for Govt. Job for an year by applying to some Competitive Exams. Have a Plan B also as a back-up. All The BEST for your Future, Rajan.

Sir i am a civil engineer graduate 2023 i did my graduation in civil engineering from a tire 2 -3 college from mumbai university . I didn’t get any job its not like that i am dum student or else i was not good at studies u definitely found partility that in civil they took all diploma + degree holders with less knowledge also in companies such a worley , godrej , technimont etc mnc companies with salary of 6-7 lpa but sir i was scattered because i lost my dad in covid my mom is working but her salary is just 50k and now after trying out for jobs as fresher i found a job in IIT bombay as project technical assistant which gives me 30k but its in ocean department. Now i want to learn further i am seeing people doing masters from priavte university like nicmar adani symbiosis etc in construction or infrastructure management. I am stuck jn life what to do im trying for government but i know government junior engineers job wont pay me much to buy home for my mom . In such case what will be best please help

Ans: I fully empathize with your situation. Do focus on the positive of having completed BTech in Civil Engineering. Civil Engineering is the foundational engineering discipline and lends itself to use of new tools and technologies through use of of software to build structures using design elements that use newer materials to build infrastructure, homes, industrial townships that further sustainability. Use your current Tech Asstt job to learn about Oceanography as an added skills. Look at acquiring project management skills and explore opportunities with optimism and passion.

I have compeletd my btech in 2022 in mechanical from vit. Now working as s software developer in PwC from past two years. What are the differenr opportunities for me in govt sector. I had also given gate once before and had got mtech in thermal in iit goa but not joined the course.

Ans: First you decide whether you want to be in the core field of Mechanical Engineering or Software. If it is software then don't try for Govt. job, because the best opportunity of software lies in private only. If you want to join GOVT. sector then try for different jobs and in GATE if your rank becomes too good directly you will get interview in PSUs. So first clear your mind. Follow me here and join me in LINKEDIN for having time to time counselling. YOU WILL WIN. Just take proper decision. DECISION DECIDES DESTINY- NOT ONLY HARDWORK.
