Hi aspirant

Environmental engineering is a interdisciplinary branch of Civil Engineering .In order to take admission in Environmental engineering you need to qualify GATE with valid score in Civil engineering .

It will be quiet difficult for a EE candidate to switch to CE .Though it is possible but very tough for any one because of different papers throughout your semesters.

So choose wisely in which stream you wish to opt M.tech and prepare accordingly.

Visit the link given below to see the syllabus of all the GATE papers:

Hi Saad Shaikh,

You have a great choice to opt out of the main stream choices of engineering.

It’s the branch of the future. It has immense potential and the scope is increasing year on year (with the increased awareness on consequences of environmental aspects among the populous).

Firstly I'll tell you a proper scope of your field as you are in class 12 and then I would give you a list of top colleges based on their infrasturcture, faculty, placements and other things.

It is the branch of engineering concerned with the application of scientific and engineering principles for protection of human populations from the effects of adverse environmental factors; protection of environments, both local and global, from potentially deleterious effects of natural and human activities; reducing the pollutant load and improvement of environmental quality.

Top Colleges in gujrat are-

• Sharoff S R Rotary Institute of Chemical Technology-

A candidate seeking admission to any branch of the four year degree program for Bachelor of Engineering must have passed the higher Secondary Certificate Examination – HSC ( Science Stream ) conducted by the Gujarat Secondary Education .A student who has passed the final year Diploma Examination in Engineering conducted by the Technical Examination Board ( TEB ) or Gujarat Technological University ( G.T.U.) without backlog will be considered eligible for admission to second year of Four Year Degree course in the respective branch of engineering.A student who has passed his qualifying examination from any other University or examination body and is seeking admission to the engineering program must produce an eligibility certificate from his University.

Fees- 70,000 per year

Hii

Abhisek

You have decent but not so good academics profile but you have a work experience in the desired field in which you want to work adn continue further with . Being a B.tech Graduate might make getting into IIM a bit tougher for you abhishek as IIM's are focusing on diversity and prefer a B.A student over a B.tech but you can't loose hope on that . A very good CAT/GMAT score can get you through it and help you bag a seat in one of the top IIM's .You are required to score anything above 99 percentile to get a call from all top IIM's. For more on applications/procedures/admissions to IIMS you can visit-https://bschool.careers360.com/exams/cat

Hope it Helps..

Thanks!!!!

Hi Raj

People who did engineering in Environmental Engineering domain can chose to write GATE exam in either Civil Engineering domain or Chemical Engineering domain. It is choice of the applicant. But it is mostly recommended to write GATE exam in Chemical Engineering domain, so that even the syllabus in the exam, job roles which are offered after getting through PSU interviews and syllabus of environmental engineering go hand in hand. 

If an applicant clears GATE cut off according to his/her cateogary and if they get good rank then they are eligible for M.Tech admission process in IIT's and NiT's and also an excellent GATE rank accompanied with very good personal interview would easily fetch candidate a Public Service job role.

PSU's Which consider GATE score in Chemical Engineering:

• BARC
• ONGC(Oil and Natural gas Corporatation Limited)
• IOCL (indian Oil Corp.Ltd)
• HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited)
• BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corp.ltd)

PSU's Which consider GATE score in Civil Engineering:

• AIA (Airports Authority of India)
• HPCL
• IOCL
• NFL (National Fertilizers Limited)
• NLC India Limited
• ONGC (Oil and Natuiral Gas Corporation Limited)
• PGCIL
• THDC India Limited

hi shubham,

i think you can do ph.d in environmental engineering with m.tech in highway engineering.usually the candidates who all are want to do ph.d in environmental engineering will choose m.tech in civil engineering.but highway engineering also comes under civil discipline,so i think it is possible.

please contact the institution/university to get clear idea on it.

all the best!!

I Hope this information will be useful to you.

if you need additional information,let us know to help you.

Thank you!!!:)
