Google is the most desired employer for engineering students in India.

Engineering students prefer IT jobs, Google most desired employer: Nielsen

New Delhi: The Information Technology sector is the most preferred choice for India’s engineering students, with Google, Microsoft and Infosys emerging as the top three most desired employers among them, according to a survey by market insights and information provider Nielsen.
As per the Nielsen’s Campus Track Technology School survey 2012, the Class of 2013 is looking at a starting salary of over Rs 11 lakh per annum, a 20 percent rise from the previous batch, where the average expected starting salary was Rs 9.3 lakh.
“The IT story in India is going strong, and with the increasing focus on personal technology, the sector and its different specialisations are still favoured by students,” Nielsen India Executive Director Dinesh Kapoor said in a statement.
There is also a resurgence of interest in core sectors like power and energy that has been observed which is also a good indicator for the economy, he added.
According to the survey, the top five preferences of engineering students were IT Services (35 percent), followed by IT products (28 percent), energy (21 percent), automobile and ancillary sector (20 percent) and IT semiconductor (19 percent).

Some of the other sectors that were highlighted are telecom (18 percent), power (18 percent ) and management consultancy (17 percent), it added.
The survey took responses of over 2,500 students in July- August 2012 across in 73 technology colleges in India to measure and monitor their attitudes and perceptions towards career preferences and potential recruiters.
As far as employer of choice was concerned among the engineering students, Google topped the list, with Microsoft in 2nd and Infosys 3rd, the survey said.
TATA Consultancy Services was placed 4th and IBM came 5th. Social networking website Facebook featured at number 6, followed by recruiters in the core sectors of energy and power — BHEL (7th), L&T (8th) and NTPC (10th).
When it came to salaries, the current students had higher expectations.
“Students today are very focused from the moment they enter college, and have a view on their long term goals and career aspirations. With the increasing options now available, aspirants want to go beyond the immediate boundaries of their courses, and explore opportunities that might not have been available to them some years ago,” Kapoor said.
More than half of the respondents from the Batch of 2013 have expressed an intent to move out of their first job within three years of joining, for further studies, or other career opportunities, the survey said.

8,000 more engineering seats in Gujarat

Here is some good news for students appearing for the HSC (science) examination this year - a good 8,000 additional seats in engineering streams like civil, automobile and mechanical will be available in self-financed colleges from academic year 2013. The seats have recently been approved by the All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE).

Last year, there were 55,726 degree engineering seats and 5,005 degree pharmacy seats in the state. With the current rise, the total number of seats has increased to 68,731 in engineering and pharmacy courses.

Following this, almost every student in the A group with Maths, Physics and Chemistry subjects will stand better chance if he just manages to pass the board exams. This too has been made easy by the Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (GSHSEB) which declared that students need only aggregate 133 marks out of 400 to pass. They do not necessarily need to pass each and every semester exam.

Education officials said that last year over 8,000 seats had remained vacant mainly in less preferred branches while there was heavy rush in branches like civil, mechanical and automobile engineering which promise better job prospects. "It has been communicated to us that 8,000 additional seats have been approved by AICTE in different colleges which had applied for the same," said Janak Khandwala, member secretary of the Self-Financed Engineering College Management Association.

Member of the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) M N Patel said that more seats would mean more options for the students. This year, the rise in seats which were earlier communicated in June or July has been approved well in advance for the benefit of the students.

IIT-I team to work on Big Bang at CERN

Becoming the second IIT of the country to be associated with world's largest Physics laboratory- CERN, a team from Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I) will leave for CERN in May to contribute in the ongoing research work on the Big Bang Theory.

A two member team of IIT-I comprising Prof Raghunath Sahoo and research scholar Aditya Nath Mishra will be involved in finding out the origin and evolution of universe through experiments associated with the Big Bang Theory.

The team will be at CERN for a duration of two months initially.

Prof Sahoo who established a high energy experimental group at IIT-I is one of the five members who are a part of the ALICE collaboration with CERN under which theywill be carrying out the research work.

"Our research is associated with the Big bang theory and we will be involved in the detector making for the forward calorimeter in ALICE," Prof Sahoo told DNA.

The team including two professors and three research scholars will be associated with the CERN for the next five years.

"Our research will also include physics data analysis which will result in scientific publication and help in understanding the origin and evolution of the ," Prof Sahoo said.

The central government has accepted institute's Rs 2.6 crore proposal for this research work, Prof Sahoo said.

Prof Sahoo has been associated with CERN since his graduation when he participated in the test beam experiment at CERN in 2003.

Six B. Tech students of IIT-I have also applied for a scholarship at CERN.

"This will give an exposure to our research scholars and other students," he said. The Big Bang theory is a cosmological model that describes the early development of the universe.
