Many brilliant freshers are selected regularly through campus interviews and the less brilliant ones are left to find suitable jobs otherwise. Even candidates who do not succeed in campus interviews need not feel disappointed as engineering jobs in India are available aplenty. Most companies advertise in the Print media to recruit suitable engineering graduates. Companies also advertise vacancies in their websites and with online job agencies.

Some of the areas of specialization in the field of engineering are automotive, aviation, civil, railway, electrical, metallurgical, mechanical, design, maintenance, structural, chemical, software, quality control, aviation etc.

Real estate is a booming industry in India and civil and construction engineers are continually in demand particularly during the last decade. Civil engineers are required all over India because construction activity is going on in full swing in whole of India and in almost all major cities.

Many manufacturing companies are in regular need of mechanical engineers, production engineers and electrical engineers to take care of the various departments. Government of India as well as State Governments are the biggest employers of Engineers. State Electricity boards are a gold mine for electrical engineering graduates to find suitable jobs.

IT Companies target computer engineers and electronic engineers for their hardware and software businesses. However, as there is a mushrooming of computer companies in India, candidates should be guarded and opt for reputed companies with the right antecedents.
