Hi,

It is projected that India’s ranking in the Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index rankings will go up 6 places by 2020 and will be positioned at 5th place.

It is evident that the manufacturing sector in India is going to grow to new heights and thus it will open up new opportunities for mechanical engineers. There will be a humongous need for innovative and talented mechanical engineers. 

How is the career outlook for mechanical engineering students?

Almost all industries have a need for mechanical engineers. Industries such as energy, space research, air conditioning, manufacturing, automobiles and so on have requirements for mechanical engineers.

Government sectors such as oil & gas and agro - industries also have a huge requirement of mechanical engineers. 

Mechanical engineers with skills in Machining, Latest printing technologies, CFD, Automobile engineering concepts add more value to organizations. Job roles for mechanical engineers can be in the following sectors:

Research and development

Design

Production

Analysis and testing

Installation

Maintenance

There are numerous opportunities post mechanical engineering. All the sectors that I have mentioned have a huge need for talented engineers. Please keep yourself abreast with major technologies such as CAD-CAM and be strong conceptually. 

Hope I have helped you. Feel free to ask queries if any. All the best!

Hi

Mechanical Engineeing is the mother of all the Engineering. Almost all the companies hire Mechanical Engineering Graduates. Mehanical Engineer can work in production, design, quality, software, testing, Techanical Service sale etc.

Most of the PSUs in India hire Mechanical Engineers like ONGC, HPCL, BEL, BHEL, NTPC, HCL, CEL etc

Priviate companies like Robert Bosch, Maruthi, L & T, hire.
