It is very difficult to say, which of the branch in engineering best. All the engineering branches are equally good and have there own scope and job opportunity. Some of the major branches of engineering and there job scope are, Agriculture Engineering Principles of engineering and technology related to production, Processing, transportation and storage of agricultural commodities. Opportunities are available in Central and state Government Departments of agriculture and agriculture engineering, agro-industries and minor irrigation corporations , watershed management and command area development projects , agriculture machinery manufacturing organizations , tea gardens, FCI, ICAR, CSIR etc. There is potential for self employment also.C Aerospace Engineering The aerospace engineer deals with the design, analysis, construction, testing and operation of aircraft. The course is based on fundamentals of fluid dynamics, propulsion, electronics, automatic control and guidance. This course does not prepare one to become a pilot or a maintenance engineer. The course is offered at IIT Chennai, Mumbai, Kanpur and Kharagpur. Admission for all these courses is through IIT-JEE conducted by IITs Aeronautical Engineering This is about maintenance of aircraft. Students who have passed class XII with physics and Maths can enroll for a three-year program. There are lots of institutes offering this program. Biochemical Engineering and Biotechnology It requires knowledge in core maths, biology and chemistry along with computational skills. Opportunities are available in R & D, academia, process industries and in particular, management of a large range of industries such as pharmaceutical drug fermentation and production of high value chemicals. Ceramic Engineering Deals with properties, manufacture, design and applications of ceramic materials. Industries producing refractories, iron steel, glass, cement, porcelain, enamels and special ceramic and also several R & D labs and Defence establishments offer employment. Chemical Engineering This deals with Petroleum refining, fertilizer technology, processing of food and agriculture products, synthetic food, petrochemicals, synthetic fibres, coal and mineral based industries and prevention and control of environmental pollution. Lot of opportunities exist for chemical engineers both in public and private sectors in the design, development, fabrication, production and control of chemical and processing plants. There is also scope for self-employment in food and agro-industries and in small-scale chemical plants. Civil Engineering A civil engineer is concerned with the creation of constructed facilities .The skills involve planning, analysis, design, construction and maintenance of a variety of facilities such as buildings, highway and rail-roads, water-ways and canals, dams and power houses, water treatment and sewage disposal system, docks and harbours, bridges and tunnels. Opportunities exist in the public and private sectors in large numbers in all branches of design, construction and maintenance. Computer Science Engineering Design and construction of computers and development of computer programmes and computer based information and control systems. Career opportunities are available in computer system design and manufacturing industries, management services and data processing departments of modern industries, management consultancy originations which develop computer programmes for industries and export software, organization developing system models and application programmer for computer controlled systems in petroleum and chemical industry, steel plant, heavy electrical industry etc. are available. Electrical, Electronics & Communication Engineering Broad disciplines are electrical power engineering and electronics engineering. The former is concerned with the generation, distribution and use of electrical power and power control and instrumentation applications. The latter deals with the application of electronics in the processing of the formation in the fields of communication and control system, electronic computers, industrial electronics and instrumentation. Opportunities for employment exist in public sector and enterprises dealing with design, manufacture and application of electronic devices and equipment, radio and television, communication systems, radar and navigational aids, computer hardware and software, process control etc. Energy Engineering This deals with energy issues and other related problems. Employment in industries and organizations concerned with the design, development and manufacture of equipment for economic and optimal exploitation of current energy technology, energy planning and management and technology transfer is offered to the energy engineer. Industrial Engineering Deals with design, improvement and installation of integrated systems of men, materials, machines, energy and information. Instrumentation Engineering This
