I'm currently pursuing my B.Tech in electrical engineering (2nd year) from MNNIT, Allahabad. What options are open for me after completing my B.Tech?

As an engineering student, after your final year, you will have a lot of options to explore once your degree is complete. It is definitely not that easy but here are a few options to look at:

Private job from College:

• For this, you will need to get a good CGPA and a job in a core electrical company.
• You can think of getting jobs in companies like Consulting, IT or Software companies.

GATE and GRE:

• If you are looking for jobs in the private sector, you can aim to appear for GATE as this will help you secure a really good job in the private sector.
• For this, you need to have good knowledge about your subjects and information regarding the public sector as many PSUs are looking to hire via GATE scores.
• You also have the option of doing an M.Tech from an IIT.
• Lastly, if you are thinking of going abroad, prepare for the GRE and aim for a great score.

MBA:

• If you are not interested in pursuing your current field, try looking for a placement in a consulting or IT firm.
• You can secure an experience of 1 to 2 years and enroll in an MBA course to boost your career.

Entrepreneurship: Another great option to try if you are looking to start a business.

These are mainly some of the top few options you have. You can think about each of them carefully and then decide if you would like to remain in your field or switch over.
