Hi Pallavi,

Your problem will be solved by taking the "Stream Selector for Engineering" Psychometric Test on this very website; CareerGuide.com.

The following pointers may be useful to you in making a selection;

1) Where do you see yourself after your engineering? Do you want a job or want to study further? if yes; then what do you want to study? Management, Engineering,  anything else?

2) If it is a job that you are targeting; then any of so-called Circuit branches will suit you; viz; Computer Science, Information Technology or Electronics and Communication Engineering.

Nowadays; all streams including Civil or Mechanical Engineering are having equal prospects. If you are a creative person and looking for a design based job; you can try either o these streams.

I would urge you to take the test and it'll really help you in solving this dilemma of yours!

All the very best!

Vinay Wardhan.

Hello Pallavi, 

I completely agree with the above counselor. You must choose a specialization depending on the industry you wish to work for in the future, as well as based on your interest.

I would like to add that apart from the stream selector, I want you to read and get a research done on various specialization offered in engineering. By research I mean explore what skills are demanded, its scope and applicability. This will help you make a confirmed choice.

Wish you good luck..

Dear Pallavi,

Thanks for writing to Career Guide.

As suggested by colleagues, psychometric test, stream selector  test from www.careerguide.com will help you understand suitable enginerring branch as per your aptitude, and interest.
