I have been reading your replies to other queries and requests for your guidance to me as I have Tata steel 40 shares bought at 380/- per share. Also I look forward to investing in short term profit in the stock market, pl suggest good stocks.

Ans: It’s very common for students to be unsure about their exact career path at this stage, where there are so many branches.
It’s a great starting point that your son enjoys maths and physics. That’s a strong foundation for most engineering fields. Now, since he doesn't enjoy coding, it’s wise to explore branches that are more hardware or core-concept oriented rather than software-heavy.
Here are a few good options he can consider:
1. Mechanical Engineering – This is a broad and core branch. It deals with machines, structures, materials, and design. It involves problem-solving, physics, and mathematics, with minimal coding. Great if he enjoys how things work physically.
2. Civil Engineering – Focuses on construction, infrastructure, and design of buildings, roads, bridges, etc. It’s more field- and design-oriented, and rarely involves coding.
3. Electrical Engineering – Involves circuits, power systems, and electronics. Some parts may involve programming (like embedded systems), but it’s not coding-heavy unless he specializes in automation or similar fields.
4. Electronics & Telecommunication Engineering – This can involve a fair bit of coding depending on what he chooses later. For example, if he goes into embedded systems or signal processing, there will be programming. But if he sticks to core electronics, circuit design, or communication theory, it’s less so. That said, in today’s world, a little bit of coding is slowly becoming a part of most branches, but it’s not central in all of them.
5. Engineering Physics or Instrumentation – These are niche areas with strong focus on core physics and instrumentation, again with limited coding, depending on the specialization.
