India it's very tough for mechanical students to get jobs
Contrary to such a perception, India has a lot of mainstream jobs for Mechanical engineer, in fact, its the mechanical stream that dominates most of Navaratna PSUs jobs. My friend, in the eastern India particularly your state Chhatisgarh and Odisha, Jharkhand are a hub of Steel Industry. If you are mechanical guy it is very easy to get a job in the Steel industry.
If you are still not satisfied, then I would suggest you read Nikola Tesla's life and his wonderful contribution as an engineer, scientist, physicist.
It's one of a wonderful phase of my life.
Indeed that's the most wonderful days. Maybe 10 years down the line when you recollect the memories of the present days, you may get nostalgic. The contour of life will also be different. However, in the ever-changing world, its a fact, and every age and phase has its own taste and experiences and those experiences bring better insight into life.
Friendly advice- Try to break the long paragraph into smaller ones, as that will make it easy and pleasant for a reader. Grammatical error check and proofreading shall be appreciated.
Have a great day.
Thank you.
thank you very much for your contribution, I'll work on your suggestions.
That sounds good. I appreciate it.
as you mentioned some factories for job seats, let me tell you sir there are many factories but the maximum seats are for labours, and if you telling that their are many more options then will you please guide me how they conduct their placement cell. they gives 12000 rs to freshers can you live your life in 12000 bucks? we engineers knows that there is factories but they don't hire freshers, thanks for your views.
I have explicitly stated jobs for mechanical engineers. Labourers jobs by default will be more. But here we are talking about jobs for mechanical engineers. In PSUs the minimum salary starts from 70K a month(~933 USD). In major leading Steel sectors like TATA, Jindal, etc the starting salary is 45K a month(~600 USD). I have quoted the starting salary for freshes. If you have been selected through campus selection, the same start salary could be as high as 75K(~1000 USD) per month for both TATA & JINDAL. In companies like Vedanta the start salary is even more than 80K(~1066 USD) a month.
I am not giving these figures arbitrarily, my friends have been working in all these companies that I have quoted. Now you tell me, even if we consider the lower band that is 45K a month, for fresher, just passed out from the college, is not that sufficient? I wonder why the youth of the country are cynical about the salary package. In fact, the job prospects, especially from salary point of view for mechanical engineers, have been very impressive.
Again I have stated everywhere starting salary, if you are working in private industry and even if you start with 45K a month, then in just 3/4 years you can earn more than 1 lakh a month after having some experience and good performance. Would you still say the salary is less, not manageable?
did you know the process of getting PSUs jobs?
Of course. You need to have a valid GATE score. Almost all PSUs these days ask for that score. And the weightage to your score should be better to have a better chance as most of the PSUs set a weightage of 80% or so to your GATE score. So those who have GATE score more than 98 percentile or rank 300 or below stands a better chance. By the way, if you have a better GATE score, the prospect of your professional career become wider which is not limited to getting a PSU job only.
yes that's the point sir, gate is in top3 toughest exams all over india, that's why i said that its very difficult to get jobs for mechanical students.
if you want example then let's take international cricket, many youngsters dreams to get place in international cricket team but not everyone finds out the place, its not everytime your hard work pays be practical sir not theoretical or don't judge by seeing your friends who is working on PSUs.
Your obsession is for a job right, it should not be where and if you really want to add that "where", you must do that hard work to earn that post. Why do you want to compare for a spot in the international cricket team(where only 16 players(11 will be playing) are selected at a time). Why not the PM or President of India, where only one post for a term of 5 years. And if you do not become PM or President, then you would say, Oh there is no job India, bla bla bla.....
Do you know where the problem is? Our society and our education system and our perception have been conditioned in such a way that we are good in producing corporate coolies only, not that plethora of corporates. Then when we don't get that highly payble lucrative payscale corporate job, then you won't be able to compare yourself with your counterparts and then started blaming the system.
Can you recollect your main post what you have written, I can still find that your college days were full of fun, bunking classes and with having such pathetic contour of academia, you are blaming the PSUs to be not having an adequate number of posts for mechanical engineers as per your estimate(in my estimate it has adequate number fo jobs).
What I feel like is that you don't want to do that hard work, don't want to be part of that process, but you are very obsessed about the outcomes. This would be a disastrous and dangerous precedence.
NB- For your kind information as far as my understanding is concerned, in cricket also, IPL has given so many opportunities for many cricket talents in India so much so that the parents of the cricketers and the cricketer himself are very much satisfied with gaining spot in an IPL team and the subsequent paycheck that they are earning. Alas, that still can not pacify you.
my intention was clear sir i said that its very tough to get jobs, I'm not mentioned anywhere that there is no job's, I'm also doing GATE preparation and every year only 3% students of our coaching centre students are able to clear gate cuttoff for PSUs
It appears tough for you, because you waste a lot of valuable time in your college days. The average students says, it is easy to get through PSUs. I cleared 4 PSUs including PSU like NTPC, did not join, I had a GATE score of 97.4 percentile. I was selected in IIT, Roorkee. I did never join any of them, my aspiration, ambition and struggles are for achieving different ends.
That said, I am not saying I am champion, I have weakness too. But I have optimized my strength. For certain decision, I am also struggling now, but I am not blaming anyone, it was me who decided, so it should be me who should suffer.
If you had said clearing UPSC is very tough I would have agreed. In India there are different tiers of jobs for engineer with premier ones being UPSC, some good PSUs, then some leading private sector like TATA, ITC, etc. There are many other too.
My friend you must be 21/22 age right now, you still have ample time, evaluate yourself where do you stand, prepare hard, set a target, work on your strengths, PSU job will be your easy cup of tea.
My best wishes to you.
Thank you.
thanks for your experiences.
