Hello.



Placements are all right if you combine placements in IT, Consultancy, Analytics and Core. But the problem is apart from Core rest of 3 are open to all departments. So competition is tougher to get a job. No. of recruits is core are very less for power engineering because companies prefer electrical and mechanical grads.

GATE is also not available for specifically power engineering. U have to go through gate mech or electrical. Again here competition is quite a lot. Job opportunities in public sector are some what all right if u take only west bengal into a/c but the greater picture is not that good.

In my opinion if u r not getting any core branch in JU then first prefer Production Engineering and then Construction Engineering over Power Engineering. Because these 2 branches have better scope in GATE nd higher studies compared to power. Although placements in these 3 branches are more or less equal.

Hope this is helpful.
Good luck.
