Dear candidate,

Engineering is generally considered to consist of the major primary branches of chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering. Engineering is the discipline and profession that applies scientific theories, mathematical methods, and empirical evidence to design, create, and analyze technological solutions.

As such there is nothing tough in this world.Both the streams are equally good and interesting branches of technology. It is one,s ingenious skills that decides the success.If you are having a taste of solving electronics issues from your earlier days, then, you will be emerging as a good electronics and communication engineer. On the other hand, if you are having a taste of dealing with the problems of machines then you will become a good mechanical engineer..So basically it is your taste that decides the success.

There is only one thing that make things tough is your lack of interest.

Off course you need certain amount of basic skills and proper guidance to make anything more interesting. Good mathematics and analytical skills are very basic for any engineering branch. If you are not an analytical person then branches like computer science, IT may be tough for you. Here are few suggestions for you to make things easy and more interesting

• First find your area of interest

• Choose engineering branch according to your interest

• Get good books and mentors to make it less boring and more interesting

• Take help of seniors and other friends to solve your doubts

• Study with practical application and not for marks alone

• Keep yourself updated with latest technology and development in your field

• Now a day there are a lot of alternative available of books like Videos/Tutorials/E-learning/IIT lectures etc

All branches are good but off course there are booms of each and every branch over some time period. Some branches are called evergreen branches which are always in demand over time like Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, etc. Earlier packages used to be low in these branches but now a days package are equally good as compared with other industries.

Software industry boom has started sometime around 2003-2004 when Computer science/IT/ Electronics branches were very popular among students due to hefty salary packages and MNC culture but that trend is almost stagnant now. Salaries are also not increasing over time and layoff is very frequent. Shift culture has started where people are working in different shift like US, UK, Australia shift which start at odd timing like 12 noon to 12 night, 2 PM to 4 AM etc. There is a saying about IT industry that these people had not seen sunrise and sunset over years and that’s true. You can earn very good salary if you are in a good company but that comes at it cost.

But off course there are some emerging trends in engineering now which are very new and will be very popular in future, like Mechatronics, Bio- medical, Aerospace, Robotics, Microelectronic. But there are very few colleges which offer such courses since these are not very popular in India still. Most of these courses are offered by some IITs, NITs.

Hope I answer your question and it's helpful.

All the best!

Hey !

No branch is tough or easy . It all depends upon your interest  . If you are not interested in machines and their parts' study , then you will find mechanical tough  .. And if you do not have interesr in electronics signals ,, their study and use in communication, then you will find ECE hard. But  if  we come to scopr , then ECE has a better scope than mechanical engineering.

Hope it helps!

hey

it completely depends on you and your interests. If you enjoy circuits and physics then electronics and communication is the best choice for you. It is generally a hard subject are requires more effort than cse or it.

mechanical is also dependent on your skills and interests.

Personally, mechanical is easier
