Hello


Thank you for choosing CareerGuide.com and writing to us. I am a little surprised to see that girls started finding gender segregation right in education itself although it has been more prevalent in jobs. There are plenty of Engineering courses suitable for girls. Some Engineering branches have been selectively not chosen by girls considering the lifting up or usage of heavy instruments later when they join work. For this reason, Mechanical engineering, Automobile engineering, Aeronautical engineering and Civil engineering are mostly not suited for girls as these branches are dealing with heavy instruments and girls may find it difficult to handle them. However there are girls who still find it interesting to learn these heavy concepts of Engineering where in the percentage of girl students on these program are comparatively less.

As a girl, you can choose to study a Engineering degree related to Biology. Therefore BTech Biotechnology, Bio informatics, Industrial biotechnology, Medical biotechnology and Bio medical engineering are suitable choices. Completing the degree in this stream girls can work at either hospitals, private lab or private companies. The professions in this bio stream are never to deal with heavy instruments like that of mechanical stream and girls are best suited to study an engineering with bio concentration.


Next, you can choose Computer science engineering or B.Tech Information technology courses. These degrees are offering jobs in computer industries in the corporate world. It is a normal day work from 9 to 5 job where in some companies also have night shifts from 9pm to 5am. These degrees also pay relatively high compared to most of the professions.

Finally as a girl you will be best suited to study B.Tech/ B.Des. Fashion technology. This is a popular course among girls considering the glamour attached with this degree and related jobs. Completing the degree, you can make designs for attires and in fact you can also work on specialising only on girl attires. There are many fashion designers who are girls/ woman like Ritu Beri, Ritu Kumar who are well known designers. In fact this is one industry that has majority of female fashion designers and most suitable for girls. Other than this you can choose Architecture design, Interior design, Electrical engineering, Electronics engineering are also suitable for girls.

Good luck.
