What are the top 5 sub-streams in engineering?

Hello Jatin Ranga,

If you are deciding to opt for engineering then I would suggest you to choose the stream that interests you the most as you need to make a career in it and will have to live with it throughout your life.

Here I am mentioning some Good high in demand streams of engineering.

1.Computer Science Engineering

Computer Science is the ultimate hero of engineering disciplines and the backbone of the entire software industry. Seeing a mobile or two or more than that in everyone's pocket, a laptop or a tablet hanging in a bag on every professional’s and students’ shoulder, and endless examples of technological dependence we can easily predict the importance of this stream. We cannot imagine our world without computers, right from GPS, to our mobile phones; this has strengthened its root in our lives like an old banyan tree. As long as computer will continue to exist among us the need for its engineers will also encounter constant hike. There is a constant demand for computer science graduate to meet global needs, making it the most in-demand engineering stream.

2.Electronics and Communication Engineering

A blend of computer science and electrical engineering, electronics and communication engineering has been raising its flag in almost every field right from a public to private, software to the core. Ever since the wake of computer revolution, this stream has seen a constant hike in demand making it to top 3. Electronics and communication engineering owns a stronghold in software engineering along with its own identity. It would be completely fair to state the computer science and electronics and communication engineering are dependent on each other and hence are their demands. But as stated above, this stream is a blend of Electrical and Computer science engineering thus has an identity of its own hence faces lesser fluctuation when compared.

3.Information Technology

Although ever since Y2k problem its charm has quite degraded in India but when practically seen at international level it is still the same, filled with tremendous opportunities. There may be slack in demand in the public sector but once you excel its private sector has endless leverages to offer. It is true that this field has surplus aspirants yet the work environment and benefits like salary and growth opportunities have grabbed 3rd position for it. with the increasing dependence on worldwide connectivity and the dream of globalisation, there will always be an ultimate hike in its demand no matter how frequent and abrupt the fluctuations are.

4.Electrical Engineering

Electrical engineering, another core engineering discipline has made it to number four due to the constant rising demands for electrical engineers to fulfil the power requirement of the nation. Seeing our infrastructure it is totally clear that our entire system is running on electricity and hence there is the constant hike in the rise of demand in private as well as public sector making a lot of students to opt it. One of the high-rank officials of IEEE, Michael Buryk has stated that “Even electrical engineers, especially those who work as power engineers, are in short supply, especially given the growth in the fields of alternative energy and Smart Grid.”

5.Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical engineering has been proving itself an evergreen stream by showing least fluctuation in demand during economic fall. The demand for mechanical engineering has been rising ever since its evolution. Now you must be thinking why an evergreen branch is kept at number 5 and 6 position? To clear you enigma I would like to remind you of the comparative salary, working condition and growth for the scope. The fact cannot at all be denied that Mechanical and Civil engineering are two strongest contenders in the race of evergreen engineering streams but their demand curve has been and is going to take a linear shape forever making it lose in the race of job oriented streams. It is among the best choices for the ones who want a safe and steady future.
