Never too Late, complete your Engineering degree

I have been asked on many occasions by students that whether B Tech distance education or correspondence Engineering courses are available in India? Yes there are very few genuine institutes in India are available which offers Diploma / BTech distance education. The institute of Engineers (India) is one of the best engineering institute which offers program for working executive and students to get an engineering degree/diploma. It can be obtained by passing examination, project work and laboratory experiments.

The Institute of Engineers India (IEI), Kolkata

It is one of the premier engineering institutes of country which was established long back in the year 1920. The Institute of Engineers (India) offers equivalent to bachelor degree/diploma program in respective branch which is recognized by the Indian Ministry of Human Resource Development and various engineering bodies of USA and UK.

Senior technician (ST) - BE or Btech distance education program

Age: Minimum 18 years
Education Qualifications: 3 years engineering diploma or 3 years graduation in respective branch.
Examination pattern: Section A consists of 4 paper of basic engineering after student will have to appear for Section B which consists total 9 papers. There are following branches are available;

1. Civil engineering
2. Chemical Engineering
3. Mechanical Engineering
4. Computer Science and engineering
5. Metallurgical and Material Science Engineering
6. Mining Engineering
7. Electrical engineering
8. Electronics and communication Engineering
9. Production Engineering
10. Textile Engineering

Maximum duration of course is 6 years but polytechnic diploma student can complete the senior technician (ST) course in 3 years. However project work and laboratory experiment can be carried out after completion of at least 5 subjects of section B.
Person who will pass the senior technician examination from IEI will award Associate member of Institute of Engineers (AMIE) –Corporate membership which is equivalent to Bachelor of Engineering.

Technician (T) – Diploma distance education program

Age: minimum 17 years
Education Qualification: Who have passed 10+2 and secured at least 45% in English and science subjects (Mathematics, Physics and chemistry)
Technician grade will be awarded after successful completion of the IEI examination – non corporate membership. Also, student can take part in senior technician (ST) membership after successfully passing technician grade.
For both Senior Technician/Technician examinations are held twice in a year in all major cities and gulf countries like Abu Dhabi.

Lastly, this program requires daily study and hard work as examination pattern is rather difficult.  Person has to acquire at least 50 marks out of 100 in each subject pass the examination. Therefore if you are serious about Engineering degree and can study regularly then you should go for it. To apply for membership visit the Institute of Engineers (India) website here.

Get maximum benefits of being a mechanical engineer

In this article we will talk about the mechanical engineering salary in government and private sector but before proceeding further let me highlight the importance of mechanical engineers in our society.
In this modern world we can’t imagine the world without machines. It is an integral part of our life and reasonable growth is almost impossible without the help of machines. Infrastructure and development of any country is a key to success but we should not forget the contribution of Man, Machine and Material. However material can be produced with help of machine but Man is a most important part who produced both machine and material. In this context we should not overlook the contribution of mechanical engineer in this process, ultimately he is the key part of technology who produce the machine result material can be made.

Indian economy has been booming and all sectors are registering their presence in this growth but manufacturing industries are still dominating and getting maximum advantage of this growth. Therefore, this sector will offer millions of jobs in coming year to cater the demand of largest Indian market.
Let’s come to the point; if you are a mechanical engineer then you will have thousands of sectors to choose from automobile industry to pharmaceuticals. Also mechanical engineer’s future is equally bright as long as growth continues like last couple of years.
Due to higher demand of engineers, mechanical Engineering salary will definitely increase as this branch will serve to the most profitable manufacturing sector. I have posted below few of the important facts and stats to derive mechanical engineering salary.

Mechanical Engineering salary in India - Private sector

As I mentioned before getting a higher salary in private sector is easy rather than government sector as salary compensation will depend on degree and college where you studied. Let me elaborate; a mechanical engineer passed from IIT or NIT will get higher salary than other engineering college passed graduate.
Most of the companies prefer campus selection of engineers as they will train candidate as per their manufacturing needs. However campus placement is the best option for students to get selected in big companies initially rather going out and searching for job.
A fresher mechanical engineer graduate can join private sector as a trainee or an engineer. He/she will get a salary in private sector as per following criteria.

• Diploma Mechanical Engineer – 10000 to 15000 per month
• BE/Btech Mechanical Engineer – 15000 to 28000 per Month
• IIT Mechanical Engineer – 32000 to 60000 per Month

Following are the major sectors which offer highest salary to mechanical engineers in Private sector;

• Oil and gas Industry
• Chemical / Pharmaceuticals Industry
• Power and energy industry
• Automobile industry
• Construction and Infrastructure industry

Mechanical engineering Salary in India - Government sector

Government sector have never been so much lucrative for engineering professional as far as salary packages are concerned. Other flaw is that government salary is almost fixed for every individual whether you did graduation from IIT or any regional college.
Mechanical engineering salary ranges from 12000 to 20000 per month in government sector initially and they can join as a junior engineer or assistant engineer. Moreover getting selected for Indian Engineering services (IES) will offer you almost double salary per month which is a premier category in engineering field for government job.
The following are the major government sector offering highest salary to mechanical engineers;

• Public sector undertaking (PSU) – ONGC, Indian Oil Corporation
• Government Power and energy organizations
• Indian defense services or military Engineering services
• Indian Railways / Metro rail
• State government – Engineering division

I hope information provided above may be useful to understand the present scenario of industries and government sectors with respect to mechanical engineering salary and packages. If you have any question, please ask below in comment section.
