Engineering Branches to choose from
If defined formally, engineering can be defined as that aspect of a career which applies the principles and fundamentals of science and maths, either as a single or in combination, to solve the problems of society and keep the engine of life running in the easiest and comfortable manner. Based on the application of principles and where they are going to be applied, engineering can be further divided into various branches. These branches of engineering represent different – 2 aspects of life associated with the ease and comfort of the society. The various common and popular engineering branches are given below;
1. Mechanical engineering
2. Civil Engineering
3. Electrical Engineering
4. Electronics and Communication Engineering
5. Computer Science and Engineering
Some advanced and relevantly new fields of engineering are given here;
1. Mechatronics Engineering
2. Petroleum Engineering
3. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
4. Data Science and many more.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering is one of the oldest and most popular branches of engineering which deals with the design, manufacturing, analysis and quality performance of various tools, equipment, machineries and vehicles etc. In general, it deals with all kinds of engineering objects which can mobilise the society with ease and comfort.
Studying Mechanical Engineering includes studying the subjects like Engineering Drawing, Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Theory of Machines, Production Engineering, Operations Research, Refrigeration, Thermal Engineering, Heat Transfer, Industrial Engineering, Quality Management etc. Although the exact subjects and curriculum will depend on the university, you are taking admission in.

Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering is also one of the oldest and most popular branches of engineering just like Mechanical Engineering. It is also known as the mother of Engineering. It deals with the design, manufacturing, analysis and quality performance of different engineering objects like bridges, tunnels, canals, highways and buildings etc. In general, it deals with all kinds of engineering projects related to infrastructure development of any country.
Studying Civil Engineering includes studying the subjects like Engineering Drawing, Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Fluid Mechanics, Structural Engineering, Surveying etc. Although the exact subjects and curriculum will depend on the university, you are taking admission in.
Electrical Engineering
If Mechanical Engineering mobilises the society with ease and comfort, Electrical Engineering electrifies the society with light and power for smooth running of machineries and equipment. This branch of engineering has the privilege of being among one of the core branches of engineering. It deals with the generation and transmission of power from one place to another along with the design and development of required machinery in support of electricity generation and transmission.
Studying Electrical Engineering includes studying the subjects like Engineering Drawing, Transformers and Generators, Switchgear Design, Power Transmission, Electrical Machines and Control etc. Although the exact subjects and curriculum will depend on the university, you are taking admission in.
Electronics and Communication Engineering
Electronics and Communication Engineering is about design, development, analysis and quality performance of miniature components which are helpful in developing the communication channels for easy and safe communication in the society. In common language, it is that branch of engineering which focuses on research and development for reducing the size of components with improved working and efficiency.
Development and miniaturization of gadgets like Mobile Phones, Television Sets and others are the contribution of this branch of engineering. Studying Electronics and Communication Engineering includes studying subjects like PLC, DSP, Microprocessors, Network Analysis, Control Systems, Power Electronics etc. Although the exact subjects and curriculum will depend on the university, you are taking admission in.
Note – A student willing to take either Mechanical / Civil / Electrical / Electronics & Communication Engineering as their career choice should be competent enough in Physics and Advanced Maths as their 12th class subjects. If they are also competent in Chemistry, It will help them additionally in the area of Material Testing especially in case of Mechanical / Civil Engineering. Apart from this, he / should be willing to explore the practical (hands on) exposure towards the development of mechanical objects.
Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering is comparatively new but the most advanced and popular choice of students to opt for. This is a field of engineering which deals with the development of softwares and necessary hardware’s to equip the society with the tools for a comfortable life through digital systems. It is one of the rapidly growing fields of engineering and at the same time, it is also getting integrated with other branches of engineering to make them advanced in this highly competitive world.
A student willing to take Computer Science and Engineering as their career choice should be competent enough in Basic Maths as their 12th class subjects leading them towards applying their logical thinking and reasoning for the development of applications.

Petroleum Engineering
Petroleum Engineering deals with the exploration and extraction of crude oil into various forms for their suitable use in society. It helps the students in developing the fundamentals of machineries and methods used in oil exploration, extraction and processing in different forms for their respective use. Subjects in this branch of engineering includes Thermodynamics of Reservoirs, Drilling and Exploration, Geology of Petroleum, Geomechanics, Reservoir Design and Modelling, Oil and gas processing system design, Enhanced oil recovery techniques etc.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML)
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI / ML) is the most advanced domain within the field of Computer Science and Engineering. It helps the students in learning the fundamentals of programming at an advanced level to further help them build or improve the machines for making them smart enough to self-learn through their environment / the input data. The various applications of this AI / ML include but is not limited to Image Recognition, Speech Recognition, Traffic prediction, Product recommendations, Self-driving cars, Email Spam and Malware Filtering, Virtual Personal Assistant, Online Fraud Detection etc.
Data Science
Data Science is the field of engineering which combines the programming knowledge from computer science and engineering in statistics to help the businesses or industries in understanding the behaviour and requirements of their consumers in a better way for their improved presence in the market. In simple words, students learn to analyse the data for businesses and help them in understanding the scope of improvement by studying this type of engineering.
