2. WHAT ALL WE
THINKING
‘A’ new phase in life can often bring along a mixed bag of emotions. Just completed
graduation? You may be looking forward to a work environment or wondering perhaps how you will
cope with performance pressures. Some of you probably might miss the carefree college life or
perhaps be considering the possibility of higher studies, while there may be some of you who must
be too bored to go through even one more college lecture! Well, each one to his/her own.
What should I do after graduation?
Few of your friends might be enrolling for higher studies, some might be planning on taking a
“break”, some will join family businesses and more still would have already begun job hunting.
But how do I know what is right career path for me?
The answer lies in your inherent strengths and your situation in life at that point of time. Let us look
at some of the most commonly faced dilemmas.
Dilemma 1: I want to work but my degree may not be enough.
The first step is to understand what your graduation degree can do to enhance your career
and how far. It may so be that the degree may fetch you a good job but a few years down the line,
it may not be enough. At such times, you may want to consider doing certificate courses, professional
post-graduate diplomas and the likes to boost career prospects.
Dilemma 2: I want to study ahead but will have to work to supplement family income.
This situation too should be viewed positively. It may actually turn out that after having spent
time working, you may want to do something completely different at the post-graduation level than
you had initially thought.
While it is important in this scenario to find a job, one must try and strike a balance between
finding a job that pays along with matching one’s aptitude and interests. Choosing a career that is
completely out of league with the sole intent of earning money will result in disillusionment and you
are likely to drop out early due to lack of interest.

3. Dilemma 3: I am not sure I want to continue in the field I have chosen
A large number of us fall in this category – having chosen a course/career path due to peer
pressure, family compulsions or plain lack of awareness. The first thing that you must do in this case
is evaluate your strengths. You can take help from the experts here – career counselors. Counselors,
with the help of scientifically designed aptitude tests and personality tests, will be able to help you
figure out what you are good at. After this, you may want to spend some time exploring work with
organizations in your area of interest or directly go for a post-graduation in that area.
Dilemma 4: I want to work but also study
Who said you will have to choose? In fact, it may well turn out to be a boon. The work
environment will help you give clarity on what you see yourself doing a few years down the line and
help you choose your further academic options wisely. Even as you work, you can start preparing for
entrance exams to universities/courses that you want to take up ahead.
Dilemma 5: Should I take up MBA now? Should I even be taking up MBA?
You most definitely should, if you want to. But MBA is not everyone’s cup of tea and you
should not think of it as a mandatory requirement for success in life. If you are sure of it, you can
immediately enroll after graduation.
It may, however, be wiser to begin working and simultaneously preparing for entrance exams
to MBA colleges. Along with helping you save money for the course, it will also help you bring your
experience to the table and contribute to enriching the MBA you will be pursuing.
If you want to do an MBA but the costs seem prohibitive, you can consider doing an Executive
MBA a few years into your career. A number of companies even sponsor these programs and it will
also help leverage your position in the job market.
Whatever you choose to do, remember that the key is to play to your strengths (read: aptitude and
interests) and success is only a matter of time.

4. Branch in focus
IT deals with the use of computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process,
transmit, and retrieve information.
The difference between Computer Science and IT is that while CSE deals with the design and
development of new software and hardware parts of computer, IT aims at designing, developing,
implementing and managing computer-based information systems including software applications
and computer hardware. When computer and communications technologies are combined, the
result is Information Technology, or ‘InfoTech’.
Core subjects
Computer architecture and organization, Database systems, Electronics, Operating systems,
Networking, Foundations of Computer Systems, Java Programming and Website Design, E-
commerce & ERP and Multimedia Applications.
Further education
You can opt for MTech/MS in various specializations in any of the core subjects mentioned above.
Job profiles
You can work in database management, IT, embedded systems, Telecommunication, computer
hardware & software implementation & maintenance, multimedia, web designing, gaming, and
almost all other industries.
Top recruiters
TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Accenture, Cognizant, Microsoft, IBM, Adobe, Google, Accenture, Cisco,
Oracle, Sun Microsystems, Yahoo, Tech Mahindra, & Mahindra Satyam. It is worthwhile to note that
the computer industry has witnessed such phenomenal growth in recent years that IT majors like
Infosys & TCS have been the major recruiters across all other branches throughout the engineering
colleges in the country.

5. What am I going to
do after B.Tech?
You must have asked yourself this question a lot of times at some point or the other in
your life. In India you are not judged by what you have studied but what you do after you
complete your education. The society is more concerned about the job and pay you get after
education and not the intellectual property you have earned.
What have you thought about doing next? MTech? OR MBA? OR a job?
Even if you have decided on something, it is advisable to explore the other options lying in front of
you. It’s a truth never discussed or told. We prefer keeping silent and let things happen only to cry
later about the mistakes we made.
Don’t leave an option straight forward because it is too mediocre. You don’t need to follow
others but to follow your heart.
- It's okay if a million other people like you are preparing for an entrance exam, including
your friends! If you believe you can crack the exam, trust me YOU CAN.
- Everybody is not born to graduate, do an MBA and get a high paying job. If people like
Gandhi, SC Bose and APJ Abdul Kalam thought this way the world would have missed a lot
of positive changes. Be the change you want to see in the world.
10 things you can do after your graduation
1. Campus Placement
Already bored of studying? Then getting selected in a decent company visiting your campus
seems a good option. If you don’t have any intentions of studying further, or at least immediately
after B. Tech, you can opt for a job. This is considered to be a safer option where you get time to
decide which field you want to stick to-Technical or you want to shift your core interest area from
technical to management to some other stream.
2. Go for an M.Tech degree
If you studied engineering out of passion and not because you were forced by your parents
or just for sake of doing it, then MTech is a good option. You can opt for the field of study you aspire
to expertise in. For this, you need to prepare well for the entrance exams to get into a good college.

6. GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) is a national exam conducted in India which
can fetch you admission in IITs, IISC or NITs and many others.
3. Do an MBA
Don’t feel you are the technical guy your parents wanted you to be? Always felt like you are
a manager and want to see yourself in a business suit in some MNC? Probably you have a
fascination for MBA too. Don’t get diverted by the thoughts that everyone is doing an MBA right
now and its value has decreased. If you want to make a career in the management sector, hold
managerial positions, then MBA is the right choice. You may specialize in your area of interest
which may be the all-time popular fields like HR, Marketing, Sales or the new growing domains like
Digital Marketing, International Relations etc. In India, there are various entrance examinations that
will help you get into the top 30 MBA colleges. CAT (Common Admission Test) serves as a gateway
for an MBA at the IIMs and many other leading institutes. Some other popular exams are XAT
(Xaviers), NMAT, SNAP, CMAT, TISS, IRMA etc.
4. Prepare for Civil Services
Always saw yourself as an IAS or IPS officer? Admit it, some day or the other you must have
thought about preparing for the Civil Services but left the thought because you felt that it's very
tough to crack!
Yes. Indeed it is one of the toughest exams in the world to crack and there lies a huge
competition to be a civil servant, but you cannot hold yourself back because of this. Civil Services is
not just about cracking an exam and then clearing an interview, it judges you on everything you can
think of, who you are and what you stand for!
You need to put your complete focus in addition to lots of determination to prepare for
Civil Services Examination. For that you need to - Believe in yourself.
5. Short Term Courses
There are various short term courses and diploma courses you can opt for after your B.Tech.
It can be a certificate course in embedded technology, VLSI, robotics, ethical hacking, protocol
testing, machine designing etc. or a diploma course in any specific domain.
Such courses are generally job oriented and serve as a bridge between what you know and
what the industry expects you to know in order to absorb you into their organization.
6. Entrepreneurship-Start your venture
Do you have dreams of being a job provider? Always wanted to be your own boss? Then
starting something of your own is a great option. But before you think about it you need to be sure
about your options. Startup is trending more as a fashion then a career option. Being your own boss
does not mean you can ignore work and life would be easy. Starting your venture and making it
succeed would be the toughest of all the things you can do. It will have ups and downs every new
day. Maybe you would not get any client for the whole year. Be ready for the challenges and
immense learning if you are determined to be an entrepreneur. This is the road less traveled.

7. 7. Go Abroad
It is also a very good option to explore. If you choose to study abroad, you will get a lot of
exposure and learning along with the education part. You might also be able to get a job at
international locations if you have plans to settle abroad permanently in the future.
You can also explore integrated opportunities abroad. Along with options of MS you may
explore options of MS+PhD and other research oriented courses. In addition, you could look at the
various fellowships in research and development category available that may fascinate you too. You
can also apply for the various scholarships which will fund your education partially or completely.
8. Join the army
Give a chance to the patriot in you. Joining the Army/Navy/Air Force or any other wing of the
defense services can be exciting and high paying at the same time. You can join as technical staff by
applying through the University Entry Scheme (UES), which requires you to apply on their respective
websites or appear for the AFCAT (Air Force Common Admission Test). You can also apply for flying
positions in Indian Air Force by clearing AFCAT.
The times are gone when you tagged defense services with only patriotism. Now you can be
utterly professional when opting for defense as a career. These positions will give you an opportunity
to live your life for the nation, a life with good facilities and a decent sum to take home as well.
9. Be a Change Maker
Feel fascinated when you see someone fighting for the rights of others? Want to bring some
positive change in life of others? You can work for an NGO or start your own, you can choose a
career in journalism, opt for social research or do something in your own profession itself by helping
people who don’t have access to it, e.g. if you are a lawyer fight for the rights of the less privileged;
if you are a doctor-treat people, if you are an engineer-innovate for the mass etc.
10. Explore the artist in you!
In India we have a habit of not mixing our profession and our passion. But what if our passion
becomes our profession?
Wouldn’t it be so amazing to do what you love rather than going the other way round of loving
what you do?
It can be anything ranging from photography, painting, performing arts, astrology, writing or
yoga. If you love writing-be a writer; love capturing nature and wildlife-explore your options in
photography; love speaking and talking to people-Be a Radio Jockey; always found your legs move
with the music-be a dancer! Let it be any other passion as well. If you can attain expertise in your
passion and can earn your bread and butter with it, it’s a good way to go. At least you would never
regret doing something you never liked and you would live every moment doing what you love.

8. Job Opportunities
Bachelor of technology (B.Tech) In Computer Science is a professional degree which provided by
many universities all over the world such as India, Sri Lanka, Australia, Canada etc. It takes mainly 3
to 4 years but in India its completion is of 4 years.
Job Opportunities after B.Tech Computer Science
If you don’t want to study and settle after B.Tech then there are some best opportunities which
provided by public and private sectors. If your campus provide placement opportunities then don’t
deal with them to say that you want more reputed company because which companies are come
in campus for choose the students they are the best in all over the field and gives brilliant package
which is gifted from their side.

work is not waste it’s a goodwill for you and that means you live your dream, now this is not all
because the companies/organizations where you work they give you a chance to get higher post
with clear exam which is according to the new post, but before this they give a time to prepare for
that exam which is very beneficial to you, now promotion means high salary, more reputation,
more services provided by your company according to the environment.
At last I want to say only that you give your 100% where you work because it’s good for you and
company and in big organizations services are more important comparing with salary/humans.
