Despite the slowdown in 2008, engineering still remains as one of the most popular career options for today’s young generation. Graduates from top engineering colleges in India command a lot of respect not only in the country, but globally.
Presently due to the global recession and Satyam scandal, most of the people are in dilemma about Computer Engineering. Students prefer core branches of engineering due to the recession. Trades such as mechanical and civil engineering, which had seen a slump in demand post the boom in the Information Technology sector, are gaining more popularity with more students opting for seats in each branch.
However, Electronics and Communication stream is the most sought-after course with maximum students opting for it. The once highly sought-after Information Technology has taken a backseat.
Parents, who are behind most of these decisions, are weary of pure-IT courses after seeing the impact of the recession on the IT sector and feel that job security is more in these core branches of engineering.
