Hello



Mechanical engineering  the branch which will fetch you the government job.Reason:-It is the only branch which has minimum of 1000 jobs/year including PSUs and state government jobs.For the current year ,there are vacancies in PSUs like ONGC,IOCL,HPCL,BPCL,CIL,NTPC and if you add up the number of vacancies in these six PSUs it will easily cross 1000 mark, these are the PSUs which recruit through GATE and then there are PSUs like SAIL,NPCIL etc which conduct their own examination.Then ofcourse there is IES too and I have not included the state government jobs.However to fetch a government job,you need to study hard as there is huge competition in mechanical engg too.So you have to study hard and prepare well in advance for Gate (the ideal period to start for gate preparation is just after 6th semester provided you have studied your subjects well in the previous semesters).

Electrical engg comes second in the no. of vacancies in jobs of govt sector. It has vacancies in above stated PSUs too but the number is bit lower compared to mechanical. If you are more comfortable studying electrical then you can opt for electrical too.

For civil the only advantage is that the number of vacancies in IES is more than any other branch and the branch is bit easier compared to mechanical/electrical.However the scope of this branch is not much constant.Sometimes it is very much in demand and sometimes it dwindles.

For Chemical,the number of candidates are lesser but the quality is high.The products are mainly IITians,NITians and from top notch private engg colleges.The competition is hence high.The vacancies are roughly around 400 this year. So if you don't get mechanical/electrical/civil then opt for chemical.And lastly I want to emphasize that you shouldn't take any other branch (other than these four) if you are interested in govt job.please don't take "EC" as it is the branch which has least scope in terms of job in it's sector leave alone the govt job.I have seen many EC frnds suffering.



I hope it will help



Good luck..

Hai Mithil!

I will provide you the details based on vacancies.

Mechanical engineering:PSUs like IOCL, SAIL, GAIL, NPTC, ONGC. Vacancies are available more.

Civil engineering:state government jobs like PWD, PHED, PRDD.  In public service exam vaccines are high.

Electrical: vaccines are good in PSUs.

CSE/IT/ECE: only less number of vacancies.

Hello Mithila,

Since Engineering as a career is really vast and every stream of engineering offers government job. But if I particularly say then Engineering in Civil fetches you a great opportunity in government sector. As you may have seen the infrastructure of our country is continuously changing and becoming more advanced and for that government need Civil Engineers and Architects.

So Right now if I say they most scope in government sector is for Civil Engineer only.

I hope I answered your query and hope that you do well in future.

Hello,

Mechanical engg is the branch which will fetch you the government job.Reason:-It is the only branch which has minimum of 1000 jobs/year including PSUs and state government jobs.For the current year ,there are vacancies in PSUs like ONGC,IOCL,HPCL,BPCL,CIL,NTPC and if you add up the number of vacancies in these six PSUs it will easily cross 1000 mark, these are the PSUs which recruit through GATE and then there are PSUs like SAIL,NPCIL etc which conduct their own examination.Then ofcourse there is IES too and I have not included the state government jobs.However to fetch a government job,you need to study hard as there is huge competition in mechanical engg too.I state you a data which will give you a rough idea of the competition.GATE 2015 had about 185000 mechanical engg graduates taking the examination and only top 700-800 air candidates stand a chance to get into these coveted PSUs.(the reason being that the top 200 rankers have more than one job and many PSUs don't announce second list and hence many vacancies get unfilled ). So you have to study hard and prepare well in advance for Gate (the ideal period to start for gate preparation is just after 6th semester provided you have studied your subjects well in the previous semesters).

Electrical engg comes second in the no. of vacancies in jobs of govt sector. It has vacancies in above stated PSUs too but the number is bit lower compared to mechanical.(no. of vacancies are atleast 600-700) If you are more comfortable studying electrical then you can opt for electrical too.

For civil the only advantage is that the number of vacancies in IES is more than any other branch and the branch is bit easier compared to mechanical/electrical.However the scope of this branch is not much constant.Sometimes it is very much in demand and sometimes it dwindles.

For Chemical,the number of candidates are lesser but the quality is high.The products are mainly IITians,NITians and from top notch private engg colleges.The competition is hence high.The vacancies are roughly around 400 this year.

Hope it helps.

Thank you and all the best.

If you want to get into government jobs then civil, mechanical or electrical that means the core branches will fetch you more opportunities. But you can also look out for automobile or electronics because now a days most of the manufacturing companies like TATAs have government like culture and they provide you many facilities.

Ritik nakra Student Expert 1st Jun, 2019

Civil engineering and Mechanical engineering is the top most branch which provide ample of opportunities for getting into government sector. Other branches also offer government jobs but these two branch has maximum opportunities. Then its up to you how you prepare for these branches.

Amisha Gupta 1st Jun, 2019

Hey Mithil

Thanks for your query. If coming to the branch which provides more number of government jobs, then in India for sure its Mechanical and Civil branches . This is because, there are core companies of mechanical and civil in our country.

i hope this helps.

Hi Mithil,

As you can see there are number of government exams after engineering. You can go for UPSC exams, ESE, GATE, ... etc. And not all engineering field's student are allowed to give every exam. In some exams Computer Science branch is not available. Basically Civil, Mechanical, Electrical and ECE are the most preffered branches for government services.
