ELECTRICAL ENG.

 

Did you ever stop to think who were the people behind the all important 'electricity, which most of us can't do without. You don't need to make a very wild guess. Yes! It’s the ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS. With the ever expanding power industry, the electrical engineer has a very bright future. Although the money in the line may not be extravagant but, it is enough to have a more than luxurious life. (especially when you get starting salaries ranging between 2lakh to 3.5 lakh per annum)

The placements of Electrical Engineers in DCE is excellent with 15%of the IIIrd year students (yes, IIIrd yr.) students already placed when in several other colleges placements start only in the IVth year. As far as the preference of stream goes, one should usually have the order of CE, ECE, EE ,ME...(EE and ME being interchangeable depending upon personal interest.)

An advantage that EE students have over ECE or CE students, is that they have a wider field of options after passing out of college because EE students can very easily migrate to ECE or CE lines but the reverse is not possible.

Another option to EE students is of course higher studies (MS) by taking the GRE (Graduate Records Examination) and going abroad to study. Some students from DCE, NSIT have scores like 2370, 2340, 2320, 2310, 2300…etc. on a scale of 2400 in the GRE. These students are going abroad without spending a penny from their pockets by getting scholarships from the colleges they are joining.

So Electrical is definitely a most happening branch. Come join the joy-ride!!
