How to choose the Right Engineering Branch ?

This is the most difficult question to answer. In my last article i have told you how to choose a college but in this article i will not tell you how to choose a branch but you will tell me that which branch do you like most.

Don't worry i know it is very difficult for you to give the answer so i am here to help you to know your interest in a particular branch. It's very simple just give the answer of some question and then decide yourself that which branch do you like most or which branch suited to you according to your interest.We will discuss branch wise so that you can choose tour branch according to your interest.

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.

Then best of luck and go ahead. I think now you can decide your branch If you don't get the branch of your choice by mistake or due to your lower rank then don't worry I will tell you how to deal with this situation. This is not the end.

JNTU-HYD : B.Tech any branch and M.Sc courses eligibility criteria for M.Tech. (Computer Science) for the academic year 2012-13

it is to inform that if all the branches of B.Tech are given eligibility for M.Tech Computer Science, then the course level of M.Tech has to be downgraded to basic levels only and also there is a comment received from the NAAC and NBA committee who have already visited certain departments of JNTU on various inspections intimated that there is no difference between the B.Tech Computer Science and M.Tech Computer Science as its almost equivalent. Master level course syllabus cannot be offered if admission into the M.Tech Computer Science is given to all the branches of B.Tech and to compete with the advance course of Computer Science one should have the basic knowledge on computer science subjects.

Previously B.Tech. Computer Science were not offered by all the affiliated colleges and the outcome was very rare, hence all other branches of B.Tech and some M.Sc. courses were given eligibility to join in the M.Tech Computer Science course and as of now all the affiliated colleges are offering B.Tech (CS & IT) and also MCA courses and there are number of Computer Science graduates coming out. Hence the eligibility criteria for M.Tech Computer Science has to be restricted for only B.Tech (CS/IT/) & MCA graduates only.

Further, the same eligibility criteria’s are maintained by the IIT’s and NIT’s all over India and also as per the AICTE norms the candidate who has completed his Undergraduate and Post Graduation in Computer Science is only eligible for the Assistant Professor in Computer Science, hence for getting admission in the M.Tech Computer Science should be a B.Tech. in Computer Science. Hence admission into the M.Tech Computer Science course cannot be offered to any other branches other than B.Tech (CS/IT) and MCA students for the academic year 2012-13 so as to maintain the standards of Masters level syllabus for these streams

This is for information and necessary action.

Got a Ranking in Engineering Entrance Exams - What's Next ?

Exams are over and results are out now what next.....?

Most of the students are very happy that they have got good marks....but few of them are sad.

But those who are having good marks and cleared engineering entrance examination are still worried. Why ?

• Whether they will get admission in good college or not?
• What will be the Cut off percentage of different colleges ?
• What are the different courses available in different colleges ?
• Which branch should i take ?
• Which college i will get at this rank ?
and so and so !!!

Here we will discuss these question in detail but one by one

First of all which branch should i take ?

This question is very difficult because if u ask X,Y,Z then u will get X,Y,Z answer....but what is right for u let examine yourself..give the answer some of the question honestly and then decide yourself.

What is your criteria for choosing a branch?

(a) Job Opportunity
(b) Money
(c) Parents wish
(d) Your interest

(a) Job opportunity: This is the most important criteria for choosing a branch in a cut throat competition environment. This is true that branches like computer science, Information Technology and electronics are amongst the huge job provider and that's why they are the first choice of most of the students in last years counselling. But it's not means that other branches are less important as far as job opportunity is concerned, other branches are equally good the only difference is that most of the software industry are mass recruiter but core industry are not.


(b) Money : This is also one of the most important factor for choosing a branch.The answer of this question is very difficult because money making is depend upon individual talent not on your branch. It does not mean that if you are in computer science, Information Technology or electronics (which are the most preferred choice of students) then you will make a lot of money....even in other branches like mechanical, electrical, chemical or production, civil etc. you can make money. It is one of the misconception that software engineer are making more money. Only few of them are able to do it and again it's depend on your talent and hard work so no particular branch is moneymaker and in every branch you can make money.


(c) Parents Wish: This option is very emotional and worth meaning. Most of the parents wants only those branch in which job opportunity and money are more so for parents i request please go through above paragraphs and don't force your children to go for a particular branch only because of particular reason.

(d) Your Interest: This is the most important and worthy factor which is ignored by most of the parents and students. As mentioned earlier that each and every branch okay. It Is your intrest that make money and satisfaction.because after four year of your graduation u will be in industry and then whole of your life will be with same branch and work which u have opted today.....if you are interested in it then ii is good but if you are not then the words tension,stress,dissatisfaction, depression will come into picture because you are working for money not for your interest and hobby.You are working with those things which you have not liked in your four year of graduation but now you have to pass whole of your life with this branch. So always keep your interest first.

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

1. 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

How to prepare for EAMCET Web counseling, Basic things to do before going for EAMCET web counseling

After getting EAMCET 2010 ranks in hand, now it is going to be big challenge for the students to select the best college for their rank. Web counseling system had changed the counseling pattern In EAMCET 2009 and many students complain its sheer luck to get choice of college. But, whatever the argument maybe, it was implemented. This year to students have to register their ranks with the eamcet website for the web counseling.
–Preliminary information students need to check the In EAMCET 2009 data available at various websites including official eamcet website. The important point to check, compare the rank that one got with the In EAMCET 2009 rank. In which college and course/ branch the student had got the seat In EAMCET 2009 with the same rank will give a clue to get understanding over the ranks and possible college and course for his rank.
–Students also need to keep in mind that, In EAMCET 2009 rank admission is not just whole criteria. There may be so many changes taking place. New seats were added in the existing colleges and new colleges were permitted this year and some reputed colleges got sanctions for branches etc.
–Additional seats and new colleges will give scope to advance the hope on better rank and better college. For example In EAMCET 2009 one has got a ECE seat in Sri Nidhi with 1200 rank, for this year it may be little flexible and 1300-1400 rankers may also pin hopes on Sri Nidhi ECE branch seat. (This is just an example)
–While going for a mock counseling at any education consultancy or any agent or on your own with any website, student were advised not to take it a final and it is just a possibility.
–While filling up the web counseling options, select as many as best colleges and courses. Don’t know, your luck may trigger. In EAMCET 2009, many students, who were selected the best colleges surprisingly got the seats. A student, with 70,000 rank, never had hopes to get CSE in Vignan College got the seat. It is just because, the optimum care that they have taken while filling the options in web counseling.
–Before registering to web counseling, get the updated list of the engineering colleges and identify the best of your choice and prepare a tentative list. List should have the EAMCET code of the college. There are many colleges with similar names. Beware of those simple mistakes.
–While selecting the college, it is always better to think about the all the aspects like logistics, hostel, academic excellence, previous record, placement history, student preference, additional costs, internal fee structure etc. This will help the parents to plan for next four years.
–Unless It is a must, avoid selecting long distance colleges in web counseling. Try to choose as near as it is possible. Just don’t end up by the thought that, the college may have a bus. This will again a burden and journey obviously makes students tired.

EAMCET Counseling Procedure

Counseling is the difficult time for the students mainly of engineering stream where they will be in stress in selecting the course and college that is crucial for the rest of their life.

With the cooperation of authorities, this process has been made a comfortable for the students to choose their college and courses without any obstacle.

Kadapa is added to the list of Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Guntur, Tirupati and Warangal as a counseling center. Students of Rayalseema are benefited by this act with which they are saving the time and travelling expenses. All the six centers carry out counseling at one time.

Details of the ranks called on each day of the counseling and the certificates to be brought to the centers are mentioned in the major newspapers by the Department of Technical Education (DTE).

Process of Counseling

Following are the certificates to be brought by the students as specified: income certificate, caste certificate issued by MRO or DRO (if applicable), study certificates from 6th class to Intermediate, memoranda of marks of Intermediate and SSC. Non-local candidates should bring a document which certifies the residence in the State for the last 10 years.

Candidates should register name, rank category, hall ticket number and time of reporting and should sign on the form at the registration counter before which they are made to wait in the waiting hall.

Checking of all original certificates will be done at the verification counter. Candidates are allowed to the main counseling centre only after the certificates are verified once again. Certificates are pinned when the documents are intact. Much or less the same process is conducted in all the centers across the state.

All the colleges having different courses are listed out for the student to choose as soon as the counseling officer enters the rank and hall ticket number into the computer. Details about the college, hostel facility and the faculty are provided by the Counseling officers.

A form is filled containing five options of the course and colleges selected by the student. Total information is shown on the system based on the preference listed in the form. Only one of the parents is allowed to the allotment counter along with the student. Final decision should be made by the student in consultation with the parent present there.

The counseling officer enters the option into the computer as soon as the candidate selects the options, which will be sent to the main server. Main server is connected to all the counseling centers across the state and receives the options of the students from all regions. Marks sequence is followed in allotting the seat to the students. All the details can be checked by the students like course chosen and the college allotted.

One- stop experience

After the clearance at the allotment counter, students need to go to the bank counters of various banks within the premises for the payment of the prescribed fee. Provisional allotment letter and fee receipt are given to the students. More than 150 students got their seat allotment done within one hour across the state in earlier years.

Detailed information

Students have the option of watching the process of seat allotment and the seats left in various courses and colleges even without entering the counseling counter. Seats allotment and regular updates are displayed on the big screen present outside the counseling counter. This arrangement has been made for students in the waiting hall and other places in order to know the seats remaining in a stream and the availability of the seats.

Students need not get worried that lower rank students getting admission before higher rank ones. The server software is intelligent that it allots the seats in the order of rank sequence only. If a 100th ranker enters the counseling counter, he will be given a seat only after the 99th ranker gets his seat irrespective of the region and counseling center.

Details like candidates name, hall-ticket number, course selected, category they belong and college preferred are displayed on the big screen arranged. It shows all the details of the students across all the regions of the state. So there is no chance of any malpractice anywhere.

In the first phase, the general category seats are completed thereby providing chance for every student to compete. Second phase is conducted for the special category candidates like NCC, sports, CAP and others. This will be followed by the counseling for general category again. Major newspapers contain all the information regarding this.

Local and non-local

Non local candidates will have no reservations. They can only compete for the 15% seats altogether. No university has more than 15% non local students, though they get better ranks. All the three regions Osmania, Andhra and Sri Venkateswara universities are following this rule.

Record : Over 17 lakh applied for SBI 1500 PO posts

State Bank of India has received a record 17 lakh applications for a mere 1,500 probationary officer positions the bank had advertised for. This is the highest response for bank officers' positions. In 2009, in the wake of the global crisis, the bank had received close to 36 lakh applications for 11,000 clerical positions.

"This time, we had given the advertisement a good profile, highlighting the position of SBI and describing the compensation package in detail, which attracted a lot of attention," said chairman Pratip Chaudhuri. He added that earlier the advertisements were like 'tender' advertisements, merely providing information about the job and eligibility criteria. One of the attractions of a probationary officer's job is the promise of official accommodation. In a city like Mumbai, the bank would provide rent allowance to the tune of Rs 31,000.

This results in the compensation for a Mumbai probationary officer amounting to Rs 69,000 a month higher than the starting package in some private banks. SBI does posses its own quarters but these are way below employee housing requirements.

"Candidates for entry level jobs are fungible — that is, the same type of candidate applies for jobs across sectors including telecom, insurance and other jobs in the service sector. This year, hiring by all others sectors is down, which might have resulted in a more candidates chasing banking jobs," said a senior official with a private bank.

The generous benefits offered by SBI has resulted in the bank drawing applications from a wide spectrum of candidates, including those working for other banks. The bank factors in 10-15% attrition during the years because often successful candidates do not get a posting close to home or of their preference.

The bank has decided to interview all the 17 lakh candidates in a competitive examination. "We have conducted such examinations in the past by hiring schools across the country. This time, we may have to do two shifts," said Chaudhuri. Candidates would be given random papers and, to discourage cheating, adjacent candidates will get different papers.
