HIGHER STUDIES- M. TECH

Info-
What is M.Tech?

Master of Technology is a post graduate degree designed specifically for engineers. It imparts a practical problem solving approach in engineers. In other words engineering is the practical application of science and mathematics to solve problems and it is everywhere in the world around you. This degree also provides an approach to make things work more efficiently and quickly and less expensively. Also it develops the skills to design, build, and manage ideas into reality.

The focus of this degree is to impart high level of engineering knowledge and skill in operational system design and supply chain management to achieve what is commonly termed extraordinary results.

Why M.Tech?

Demand for good engineers is high, in practically every country in the world. In the IT and electronics sectors in particular, there are world shortages of Chartered and Incorporated Engineers, and unemployment amongst professional engineers is lower than for almost any other profession. There are thousands of challenging areas in which detailed engineering knowledge is needed.
Engineers have been at the forefront of turning time into a distinguishing feature of the product creation process. Engineers have often found themselves in key positions in industry and commerce. The reasons for this is the importance of systems technologies in any modern economy and the trends to globalization outlined.

Huge opportunity is lying ahead for the students of engineering. After passing out from respective college students are hired by many good companies. With the ongoing economic boom the significance of this degree still increases.
With an engineering degree, you may follow an interesting career as a professional engineer, which may take you down a technical route, or you may drift into a managerial role as your career progresses.

Career Opportunities-
There's a great scope after M.Tech as day by day development in every area is increasing. So it is sure that there will be great demand in this field and if we talk about monetary terms than you will get a very good salary package after your M.Tech because every firm need some specialized Engineers in their field to lead their Engineering team and an M. Tech person has higher weight age for this work.

Every engineering branch has its significance. It depends on the choice of the student. Today most jobs are available in service sector. EEE students are mostly absorbed in the core sector unlike ECE. Core sector means sectors like power. EEE has many opportunities and students are not opting for it due to lack of awareness.

Any engineering course has lot of scope. Any raw material to be converted into a product, it has to undergo many processes involving chemicals. Almost everything we use is chemically processed. India's top industrialists like Mukesh Ambani and others are chemical engineers. You can join any manufacturing industry and go towards research and development. A student of chemical engineer can also specialize in various fields like biotechnology, environmental engineering and others. If you want to move into service industry like IT, which has many branches, then functional knowledge is necessary.

Some hot fields where one can make his career after M.Tech are:
