Hello,

Good on your decision to study an Engineering degree. But this requires you to choose the subject you want to study this degree right? Choosing an engineering stream largely depends on what subject you have studied at school level and also in what subject you are interested in. For example, at 12th level, students from either science group or computer science group are often deemed to pursue engineering careers where in a commerce group student cannot pursue engineering. With this, you should understand that you can pursue an engineering degree only that is related to the subject group you have studied at HSC level.

Science group students: studnets in this group usually follow the PCMB route - physics, chemistry, maths and biology. If you have chosen PCB without maths, then you may not be eligible to study BE/ BTech in general as maths is a compulsory subject until 12th level for studying engineering degree. With this PCMB route you can study electrical and electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, production engineering, industrial engineering and management, civil engineering, biotechnology, industrial/ medical/ nano biotech, bio informatics, bio medical engineering, architecture, chemical engineering and pharmacy.

Lots of students always assume that Electrical, mechanical, civil, chemical are the only engineering disciplines and they often fail to understand that there are many other professional courses beyond these disciplines. For example, B.Des/ BTech fashion designing is a professional degree related to the designing of costumes and attires ranging from ethnic, cultural and modern. You can also study BTech/ B.Des. Textile engineering that is applicable to manufacturing of designing and manufacturing of textiles on a large scale. Then the BTech/ B.Des Furniture designing. This is also the only professional course related to designing and manufacturing of various types of home and commercial furniture. Apart from this students who are interested in chemistry and maths can also study petroleum engineering, oil energy engineering and paint technology.

Choose the stream that matches your subject group at HSC level and correlate with the subject that you enjoy studying the most. Hope this helps. Good luck.
