After BTech: Start working or study further?

You decide one fine morning during your fifth semester that you are going to do MS in US after engineering and start preparing for GRE. After a few days you see some of your friends preparing for the M.Tech entrance exam – Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). Now you decide to the idea of GRE and start preparing for GATE. Never do this. It may not take you anywhere and finally you may end up losing a year or so, after engineering due to your indecision.
If you plan to do higher studies after engineering, there are ample opportunities available in India and abroad. In India you need to write GATE to be eligible to do higher studies. If you want to do your M.Tech in premier institutes like IISc or IITs then you need to at least get a rank lower than 500. If you want to do higher studies in the US then you need to write two exams, Graduate Records Exam (GRE) and TOEFL, and then have to apply to the Universities in the US which is a comprehensive process.
A student joining engineering must understand that there are so many areas of specialisation available for each branch of engineering. If you major in Mechanical Engineering you can choose to specialise in thermal engineering, machine design, manufacturing, industrial engineering or aerospace engineering etc. Similarly if you have a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering you can specialise in Structural Engineering or Geotechnical Engineering or Environmental Engineering or Water Resource Engineering or Construction Management or Sustainable Engineering and so many other fields. This is true with any branch of engineering.

If you aim for a job in the private sector after your engineering your best bet will be campus placement. Know the selection process of the companies that may potentially come for campus placement by the sixth semester and start preparing so that you can easily get recruited in the company of your choice. There are two kinds of companies that come to campus for recruitment – core companies that hire students only from a particular branch of engineering and others (mostly software companies) that allow all the graduating students to appear for the selection process.

So there are ample opportunities available for engineering graduates. The key is selecting a rourse that you love or loving the course you select, and knowing the various possibilities each branch has to offer. Decide by the third year of engineering what you want to do after engineering and work towards achieving that goal. If you do all these things judiciously then you are sure to land up in a good position after your engineering.

Days just goes on!!

Days just passing on and its already one month in Singapore now...Classes going on its schedule..its nice experience to see my self as Student again after 5 years of busy worklife at india... :) However would feel still there is so much work to do like Courseworks,Revisions etc...Foreign degrees obviously follows the Practical oriented study system where we can't copy word to word in our courseworks , this is to enable the student to study the books and do the research on his own and have to prepare the coursework.Word to word copying is not allowed from any books /online..Which in other way named as Plagarism and its not allowed as per the University policy it is considered as indisciplinary actions ,I will post more this part in my future posts.

Its So colouring outside especially during nights :)..if you are a Party guy its nice place to hang around... But Climate really sucks...unlike Bangalore, where we enjoy awesome climate..Singapore sits almost on the equator and enjoys a tropical climate. Temperatures are hot and humidity is high all year round with no distinct rainy season. Despite this the time between November and January has marginally more rainfall and humidity all the time....so visitors might want to avoid this time.

Week 1 Completed !!!!

First week came to end finally and its really learning experience.Complete a week all about .....Back to college life after 5 years..meeting new frds..freaking around the city.. orientation at the start up....lectures...sharing of ideas..trying new foods.....visiting national library, which is very popular and its 13 storeyed building .Anyways Finally Week 1 came to the End.

Coming to Lectures,We have two modules for this Semester ,International Business Economics and Marketing Management.We were given introduction for these two modules and lecturer explained us about how the assignments/course work has to be submitted and few group activities were also there n it waz fun.

A lot of Hardwork with good time management and dedication has to be maintained and Quality work has to be presented towards the year study.Saying is easy...To follow this principleits actually tough.. however with practice we can get this skill.....We guys rock always :) ... Enough for today...

Revision Starts...................................................................................................................................

Everything is Money!!!

Before you come for Foreign studies at abroad for  management degree , You should plan before 1 year ahead on the factors like
1)University Selection
2)Cost of living
3)Who are the faculty for that university
4)Which country are you chosing and Are their enough jobs in that country and whatz  the scope for indians to get jobs
5)What you gonna do after the studies and is this the right time to study.
You need to question yourself thrice or fourtimes before taking the decision of Studying at Abroad at that specific country and also you should be financially sound of enough and have to be well prepared how you gonna live there and keep networking on good contacts.
