Question: I have qualified in the I.I.T. J.E.E. exam conducted in may 2002. Subsequently I am getting admission into Marine engineering and research institute(MERI) Kolkata for a 4 year degree course in marine engineering. On
the basis of marks in PCM I am getting admission into electronics and
telecom \ computer engineering in a reputed private college in Mumbai
university. Now I have 3 options
1) Pursue marine engineering
2) Pursue electronics \ computer engineering in a reputed private college in Mumbai
3) Repeat I.I.T. J.E.E. and try to get a better branch
next year.
Does marine engineering has enough scope in India and abroad? Is it a
better option than Electronics \ Computer. I have good interest in all the three fields and hence I am very much confused. Please help
Answer: If you are interested in Electronics go for Electronics or computer engineering in Mumbai.
Marine Engineers have a niche and jobs may be restricted to certain
Geographical areas. It may not suit all people all the time. Electronics / Computer engineering
has no such restrictions.
