Production Engineering

Hi,
Please read through the End. The Scopes in Production Engineering is less as compared to mechanical Engineering. Right now - These are the only few name recruiting almost every year. There are other manufacturing and production companies of Government who recruits frequently. Government vacancies are few but not nil at any time. But it is going to be picked up in future. Please do not lose hope. There are many options as mentioned below:
1) Almost all automobile Companies: One of the best place to work for PE
2) Some PSU companies even hire specially for PE, like Visakhapatnam Steel. But seats are very less.
3) Some PSU Companies hire as a mechanical engineering either through GATE-Mechanical or their own written exam like SAIL, GAIL, BHEL, NTPC etc.
4)Other option is to do M.Tech through GATE Production engineering as chances are fair to score a good rank even below 50 & get into a good colleges like IIT-B, IIT-D etc. From these colleges, you may get a chance to work with some reputed automobile companies like General Motors and that too in their R&D wing.
5) Other option is doing MBA, as we already go through a lot of management papers in B.Tech, it makes it easier. Think wise and then decide. Do not worry if the package you get is not as per your satisfaction, just accept it? You can grow very high in life with your hard work and sincerity.

There are a ton of courses available for learning. Your aim should be not just to study a course for the sake of putting it in your resume but also to do as many projects as you can. This will help you build your portfolio. Such a portfolio will attract employers and academic institutions alike. Anyone can mention they know a list of skills, but only a few can prove it. In my personal opinion, simulation or automation courses are the best BET as we are currently moving towards an era where computers are integrated with engineering systems. Areas such as maintenance engineering and shop floor engineers will be replaced by automations in future.
Employers are already preferring engineers who can code and simulate systems. However, to choose the best course to tailor your needs, you must pick one based on your favorite subject that you studied while doing your degree. Let us assume that your favorite subject was thermodynamics. Then your best BET is to choose a course like CFD or HVAC systems. If you have a good mathematics base, choose to study some programming languages or numerical analysis courses. A popular choice is MATLAB/Python. Do not make the mistake of choosing the most popular course just to go with the herd. Stick to your strengths, choose a particular field and master it.
