Which Stream Will Be Best To Choose In IIT After Clearing JEE Exam?

A number of students qualify the JEE entrance exam every year to earn the admission in IITs. IIT
(Indian Institute of Technology) is the prestigious engineering institute of India. Most of the qualified students have no idea about stream selection. They didn’t even realize the importance of stream selection after cracking IIT JEE.

About IIT-JEE 

JEE (Joint Entrance Examination) Mains is a national level entrance exam conducted by CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Examination). This is the toughest exam that is conducted every year for admission to undergraduate courses in the IITs, NITs, CFTIs and IIITs.
Every year lakhs of students appear for this exam and a few of them got admission to the IITs. This exam is in both the modes, online and offline. Paper-I is for the admission to B.Tech courses and Paper-II is for the B.Arch courses.
Students have to qualify the JEE-advanced exam after qualifying the JEE Mains exam. The mode for this exam is only online and the medium is both English and Hindi.

How to select Branch after clearing IIT?

The next big question in every mind after qualifying the JEE exam is the selection of a branch. Most of the students have so much into their studies that they didn’t find time to decide their major subject in graduation. Eventually, they took up streams based on the random stuff like which IIT is closer to their hometown or what the other rank holders are planning for.

The branch selection is one of the most important decisions after clearing IIT. JEE is a passport to IIT, and the right choice of a branch is your destination to success. Most of the qualified students will end up taking up random courses without proper knowledge and the interest.

Here is a brief description of all the branches offered by IIT.

A lot of branches are offered by various IITs and NITs but some branches are common to every engineering institute.

• Aerospace Engineering: This branch of engineering is the most lucrative of all. It includes the study of aircrafts construction, maintenance, and design of other spacecraft. This is further divided into two sub-branches; Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering.
• Chemical Engineering: This branch deals in chemicals. A chemical engineer is in demand in manufacturing and service sector.
• Civil Engineering: Civil Engineers build the infrastructure of the country. This branch has scientific and engineering principles. A civil engineer has many choices including construction, transportation, and environmental engineering.
• Computer Science Engineering: This is one of the most sought-after branches of engineering. The recent trend in Computer Science Engineering is Cloud Computing, Robotics, big data and Internet of Things.
• Mechanical Engineering: Engineering is about machines. A mechanical engineer talks to machines. This branch deals with physics and manufacturing design. There are numerous career options for mechanical engineers in India.
• Electrical Engineering: This branch deals with the electricity and Power. There is a lot of Public sector Opportunities for this degree. Scope, Exposure, and Relevance of Branches for a Student
  

Students have many questions in their mind after qualified JEE exam. Their parents are taking counseling and advice from IITians about the branch. They are confused about whether to take a good branch in NIT or an average in the IIT. They are worried about the scope, the relevance and the exposure of the branch.

Students should select their branch after proper counseling and according to their interest. There is no dearth in the number of job opportunities for IIT graduates in India. But this career choice is for the lifetime. You should not only check the monetary advantage but also other scope and exposure related to a specific branch. Following is the brief detail of scope and relevance of the branch for a student.
