Hi Pagadala,

Every branch of engineering is good if you have chose it according to your interests. Same goes for environmental engineering as you should have amazing interest in this field to make a better career ahead. Environmental engineering is very vast field and almost every industry requires it. There are numerous numbers of opportunities lying down and still many more opportunities are yet to come. So, you can choose this path if you can give it all without slacking.

• Manipal Institute of Technology, Manipal.
• SRM Institute of Science and Technology .
• BMS College of Engineering, Bangalore
• School of Engineering, University of Petroleum and Energy Studies, Dehradun

Dear Aspirant,

Both of the branches are polar opposite to each other and if you have interest in computer and software technologies, then go for IT, or better go for CSE.

However, if you are interested in technologies used in agriculture and all the chemical involved in the process then you should go for Agriculture engineering.

Both of them have good placements in the near future, however, the job profile will be polar opposite and the work you will be doing in both of these engineering are a lot different then one another.

So you should figure out your interest, if you have only slightest interest to any one of them. then go for that branch.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Environmental engineering is the branch of engineering that is concerned with protecting people from the effects of adverse environmental effects, such as pollution, as well as improving environmental quality. Environmental engineers work to improve recycling, waste disposal, public health, and water and air pollution control, etc.

Following colleges in India provide courses in Environmental engineering.

• IIT Bombay
• IIT Madras
• IIT Guwahati
• College of Engineering, Pune
• Lovely Professional University, Punjab
• Manipal Institute of Technology

All of these universities provide Mtech, master in Environmental engineering as the environmental engineering is considered as a sub branch of  Civil or Chemical engineering.

You have to prepare for GATE exam after you are done with your btech in Civil or chemical engineering.

Salaries for environmental engineers varies from 40 to 50k in starting and then go up with experiences.

There is a good career in environmental engineering as the pollution is a global problem now and solutions are needed wordwide.

Hope this helps. Thank you.

Hello dear student, 

Greetings! 

Employment of environmental engineers is projected to grow 8 percent from 2016 to 2026, about as fast as the average for all occupations. State and local governments' concerns about water are leading to efforts to increase the efficiency of water use. Some growth will be fueled by the need for water reclamation projects that increase water supplies, especially in Western states.

thankyou 

Hello aspirant,

Current status of M tech in Environmental engineering  is

1. Most of Post gradution as of M tech , institutes are not well adquate about teaching and providing thorugh knowledege about branch.
2. This branch awareness has grown but Institutes only suck money but never give you exposure of industry and placements.
3. Suppose you complete mtech but getting jobs is highly difficult because of no field knowledge and for design you don't have experience .
4. Anyhow if you get jobs what shall be salary ..it's less than b tech fresher gets  ..around 10k-15k .
5. I prefer you do Post graduation in Environmental engineering either from IIT or Abroad (M S)
6. Only advantage of doing M tech is you can go for teaching line and pursue PhD  and PhD will depend upon guide selection and research arena .
7. These all above are facts and if you want know exactly .. Visit all aluminis and ask their opinion .
