Hi,

I hope you are doing well!

The jobs of M.Tech holders are given to B.Tech pass outs and the jobs of B.Tech holders are given to Diploma students! There are very few companies in the core mechanical/civil/electrical engineering, which will take only the toppers from each college/universities!

That was just our market overview. However, don't get disheartened hearing all these news. There are still some ways that can land you into a good job (if not a handsome paying one immediately).

1. You can start your B.Tech degree from a reputed college/University and take part in their placements towards the end of your degree.
2. You can start practicing some of your favorite skills in your field of diploma, if you don't want to pursue higher studies and enter the industry right away! This might take some time to get you a moderately high paying job, but it will get you immense working experience of things and that can be beneficial at a later stage.
3. You can always setup a small scale manufacturing unit with not many machines/equipments initially, if you are financially stable! This will get you recognized in the market.
4. If you are not interested in any of these and want to pursue a totally different career, then go for some exams which don't ask for a degree in the banking/PO/other government sectors.

I hope this helps!
