How to choose the right Engineering Branch ?

Computer Science & Engineering

1.Do you like computer ? (I am not talking about computer games and Internet)
2.Do you want to do something new in computer ?
3.Do you always experiment with your computer and surprise others ?
4 Are you strong enough in mathematics and logic making skills ?
5.Do you like puzzles ?
6.Are you having a good IQ.

If you answer most of the question in yes then this is the branch for you and you are made for this branch. This branch require a good logic making skills and good aptitude ,innovation and hard work. If you are having all these things in you then go for this branch. Information Technology This branch require the same skills as in Computer science & engineering. There is a little bit difference in their syllabus content. There is no big difference as far as placement and job opportunity is concerned both the branch are equally good and well payed.

Electrical & Electronics
1. Have you ever open your switch board and repair it ?
2. Do you want to know the functioning of your home electrical appliances ?
3. Do you want to know what is really going on in a computer CPU ?
4. Are u interested in sensors & transistor ?
5. Do you want to make your own robot ?

If yes then this is the branch for you, again there is a small difference in electrical and electronics most of the syllabus content are same. In most college theses are separate branches but in some college they are same. In short we can say that electronics is subset of electrical. As far as placement and job opportunity is concerned then it depend from college to college.

Mechanical & production Engineering

1.Are you interested in bike and cars design ?
2.Do you take interest in functioning of daily routine things ?
3.Do you ask basic question to your teachers(i.e how this works ? how that works ?)
4.Do you like physics ?
5.Do you like to make some new mechanism ?
6.Do you like to use your engineering skills for a common man life ?
if yes then you are at right place this is the branch for you. This branch require a real hard work. In most of the colleges mechanical and production are different branches but there syllabus content are more or less similar but in few college this is combine. There is a misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to computer science and electronics. Again it's depend upon individual .This is called evergreen branch ,now a days there are a lot of job opportunity and money in this sector if you have talent and ready to work hard.

Civil Engineering

1.Are you interested in building making ?
2.Are you ready to rock the world by your talent ?
3.Have you ever think how this can be done after seeing a building ?
if yes then this is the branch for you. There is a misconception that in this branch's job opportunity are less as compared to others branch. It is not so, if you are hardworking and talented then there are a lot of opportunity in this sector.

Got a wrong branch - What to do ?

This is the problem of most of the students. After the admission they realize that they have got the wrong branch or this branch is not for him/her. This may happen due to your mistake or due to your lower rank.
But this is not the end even now you can change your branch or can do something else. Surprised ! Yes it is true I will tell you how this is possible ?

If you have taken admission through AIEEE in NIT's then it is possible there are two ways.

1.Branch sliding
2.Branch change

Branch sliding
After your admission any NIT in the month of September-December if any of the seat in any branch remain vacant due to some reason then it is filled by the respective candidate of that state or UT on the basis of your AIEEE rank. Here you have a good chance to change your branch once more but it totally depends upon

(a) No. of seat vacant
(b)Your AIEEE rank
if your branch is not changed till now then don't worry you will have another chance to change your branch and this time it will be totally depend upon you and your academic performance throughout first year. This is a golden chance for you.

2.Branch change:
This happens at the end of second semester to give a chance of meritorious student to change their branch but rules are different from institute to institute. Like

(a) Minimum no of marks/CGPA(combined grand performance index)required in your first year
(b) Max. no of seat available for branch change.

Here it totally depends upon your academic performance so be ready for this and work hard throughout year to catch this opportunity.

Even now if your branch is not changed due to some reason then don't be disappointed. If You want to change the branch for job opportunity reason only, then don't worry because now a days software companies are allowing each branch for recruitment and you can be a software engineer .It does not matter from which discipline you are. So enjoy your studies and best of luck

even i want to know more about the syllabus and scope. plz reply experts..

Regarding CS/IT BTech, do read this -:
http://www.iiitd.ac.in/2009Notices/IsITTheRightChoiceForYou.pdf

What is CSE
CSE is computer science engineering. Your taught programming the whole of four years mostly. Now one may ask, why does it take four years to learn programming ? Why should I get a degree in it and waste four years on it, when I can just walk into some NIIT branch, spend around 2000 and in a month I WILL ALSO BE A PROGRAMMER !!
answer to that
First of all your not taught programming there, your just taken for a ride there. Your just taught the terminology and how to do petty stuff with codes. YOUR NOT TAUGHT HOW TO DESIGN SOFTWARES. your not taught how to think analytically on how to solve a problem.
Click here for CSE portion of JNTU hyd.
If you find anything in that list that is taught in NIIT except for c language and data structs.. DONT DO CSE eng
Let me simplfy that list and tell you all the important stuff that you will be learning.
a)c lang
b) algorithms
c)network programming
d)unix and shell programming
e)OOP
f) compiler designs
g) AI
h) Database management

Except for these, your also taught some electronics too !!
a) Micro processor interfacing(writing softwares for processors like cpu, graphic cards..)
b)Digital logic designs(gates)
c)embeded systems(taking signals from some electronic devices/circuits and writing software for analysing them and giving back signals)
Specializations offered in MTECH
As you can see, IIT D is offering you all these specializations for CSE. EVEN A ELECTRONICS BRANCH TOO
So those of you who wanted to take electronics but missed it, can get it even in MTECH level !!
For those of you who learnt programming in some NIIT or in school or have taken IT in cbse boards and think who can code, I ask you to try these problems.
CSE IS IN NO WAY INFERIOR TO ANY BRANCH OF ENGINEERING OR SUPERIOR TO ANY. IT IS THE CLOSEST BRANCH TO MATHS.
CSE VS IT
IT is just the cousin of CSE, it is almost identical to cse .. except that few papers are different. Electives are almost same. only 1,2 max 3 papers are different per semister.
Syllabus for IT
But you can get IT easily... So even if you get IT take it.
What not to expect while taking CSE
Computer engineering like other engineering involves DESIGNING STUFF. YOU WILL BE DESIGNING SOFTWARES.
Just because you managed to play a damaged CD, or you manage to repair some error message u get at your startup, or you know how to make fibounaci numbers, or you can throw a message box in VB doesnt mean that you have what it takes to be a computer engineer !! Any tom di ck and harry could do those.
Also if you are making software by copying code from random site and still ur able to understand the code doesnt mean that your a programmer. Your just a copy paste coder. For those copy paste coders, I ask whiether you can understand this.

Also dont think that in job if you get struck at something or you dont know how to solve a problem you can just google it and copy the code from it and get away with it. Most of the sites which have code have copy righted there code. copying such code can get you fired !!
