What after B.tech ??

Just like every graduating engineer , the very thought came to my mind - What after B.tech ??

And options are always there ....but choosing one is difficult.........WHY ??
bcoz we want THE BEST.......so that you , your friends or parents can't complain later ..
as your parents are expecting something good from you after you graduate .

Oh yes..... , the following options came to m mind :-

1) JOB in IT sector

It is the first thing anyone will think of.....after all this is what we will do in the end.....
Graduating from a private engineering college (though affiliated to state university)...where being placed was a bigger concern rather than being placed "where"......on campus job opportunities were limited to IT sector.....whereas for so called "core" companies...neither i had extraordinary skills nor a good percentage....

hmm..IT sector ?? i asked myself.....but then there wasn't a option.....
i was reluctant as the only subject i had ever failed in , was computer science...it wasnt like that i didn't like coding or programming....but i knew my basics were weak...and i was not , as they say , "passionate" to study it again for placements.......
By that time , it was known that INFOSYS...(karta dharta of our college :P ) didn't conduct a technical test (till 2012 i suppose)....and the fact that it is a mass recruiter....and also that it recruited 300/450 students from our previous batch......i was then confident of my placement....

2) POST GRADUATION

For PG , one may think of :-

• MS
• MBA
• M.Tech

For MS , one would have prepare for GRE , and particularly the vocabulary part . Also MS would cost you atleast 20-25 lakhs, which was not affordable for me . Hence MS was out of the equation.

For MBA , one would have to prepare for CAT . But then , few dialogues from "3 idiots" , were enough to make me think not to opt for MBA :P ....Jokes apart...i didnt have much inclination towards MBA then .

For M.tech , one would have to prepare for GATE . I had some inclination towards it as , one while preparing for GATE , i would be studying some important subjects of ECE ( which i hadnt studied properly earlier in 2nd or 3rd year )...two , clearing GATE  gives you an opportunity to study in IITs...(something almost everyone want to ) and hence get better placements esp in core companies like

•  Intel
•  Apple
•  Qualcomm
•  Texas Instruments
•  ST Microelectronics and others

3) SABKI PYAARI , SARKARI NAUKRI 

One may not like to go to government schools and hospitals , don't want to travel in govt transport - buses , trains ...but when it comes to GOVT JOB ,  we all want to have it.
REASON ?? Biggest one - Job Security and other numerous benefits .

following PSUs recruit EC Engineers :-

• BEL
• SAIL
• ONGC
• NTPC
• NALCO
• DMRC
• HPCL
• BSNL/MTNL
• PRASAR BHARTI
• ECIL

 and other institutions like :-

• ISRO
• BARC                     

 and of course

• ENGINEERING SERVICES EXAMINATION

The preparation , more or less remains same for PSUs , as it is for GATE , Except General studies , english and current affairs being the other topics to be prepared .

Also by 2013 , it was known that major PSUs will recruit using a standardized mechanism , by using GATE scores .Hence i chose to prepare for GATE and PSU exams , with an aim of getting a good job.

Advantage :- with one good score , you can have many opportunities in different PSUs , and have an option of choosing one according to your comfort.

Disadvantage :- One bad day and you'll miss many opportunities altogether .


THANK YOU :)

MY FIRST BLOG..... :P

 Huh....this is my first blog.......don't know how to start....but ya i'll try..........Well i never thought of blogging until a year before.......!! Actually I was going through a lot of blogs....on GATE , IES ,PSU .....their preparation , their strategies , results , interviews....motivational stories of both successful and not so successful people....and blah blah blah...........

One thing i noticed was that everyone had something to tell.....their own unique experiences..good or bad.......i liked the idea but the feeling of writing a blog wasn't so pronounced....


And i used to think how could someone write them everyday...or say fortnightly.....i mean doesn't it get monotonous.......writing about the same thing time n again.....until i tried it myself.....

Whoa...its actually amazing haan.....!! writing with a "tak-tak-tak" of the keyboard specially the sound space bar makes ,and sometimes you're typing at 3am..haha..

..and an awesome way to express youself.....an your post might get some reckoning in the "cyber-world"......some may like your way of writing some may not.....someone's response may overwhelm you while someone's make you feel embarrass..........an it all happens here......

So this is not a blog restricted to some particlulat types of articles/posts........and yes blogging ??
 I'M LOVING IT ..........!!

P.S : please try to ignore grammatical errors ., if any ....... :P
