Hy,

Even though girls are equally bright in mathematics and science as boys, but, the number of girls choosing engineering as a career is comparatively less.

The engineering as a career for women is affected by the gender based stereotypes. Even some branches of engineering such as mechanical engineering is considered as men only branch as it comprises construction and handling machinery or civil engineering where one is required to work on building roads, bridges or skyscrapers etc.

• Computer Engineering is one of the most sought after engineering career choices available to girl students in India. The best part of this course is this, that there is no field work at all. The expansion in IT sector and software revolution in Indiahas also made this course demanding.

• Biomedical engineering (BME) is the application of engineering principles and methods to solve medical and biological problems.This field is more appealing to women in comparison to the more traditional disciplines such as mechanical and electrical engineering because women tend to connect with the biological and medical sciences more.

• Electrical engineering is one of the most preferred engineering domains among the Girl students. There has been significant rise in the demand for electrical engineers because of rural electrification, set up of new electrical power plants and various othergovernment schemes.
  

There are more branches like chemical engineering or biotechnology engineering which are preffered for girls job with high salary and scope.

Thank you.

Hello aspirant, the best branches for government jobs are civil engineering, mechanical engineering and even electrical engineering. Because government exams require aptitude in social concerns, logical abilities and public concerns also . All the very best to you
