Scope of Information Technology in the Forthcoming Years
The IR 4.0 has bolstered the revolution in the field of Informational Technology (IT) across the globe. As a result, Information Technology has emerged as a rapidly growing sector with ample opportunities for the tech-people like IT engineers, CS engineers, electrical engineers, etc. With a huge quotient for the employment of engineers, IT has produced the mass recruiters like Infosys, HCL, Wipro, TCS, to name a few that explore the talent in campus recruitment drives in thousand numbers. In such a context, the scope of information technology doesn’t seem to fade away at least in 21st century. Now the question arises how to make your place in this massive tech world of IT. The only and the most authentic way is to pursue engineering from a renowned college and then make your place in the IT sector with a decent start of career. There are a few streams of engineering that enable you to nurture career in information technology. This post will briefly describe those streams further. Let’s understand what it takes to become an IT engineer:Computer Science Engineering The most reliable way to become an IT engineer goes through computer science engineering. While studying computer science, you learn to design and develop software which is one of the most demanding attributes of IT engineers. The students who are good at computer programming most choose CSE as their B.Tech branch. CSE is the only branch that comprehensively covers the emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, etc. It is one of the major requirements for the job seekers in IT world to be well-versed with the advanced technologies.
Electrical & Electronics Engineering You must be wandering why this specialization is enlisted in the list of ideal engineering braches for an IT job. The information technology revolves around the modes of e-communication, be it a cellular phone or a computer system. The manufacturing units of computer systems and mobile phones are also the part of IT sector and always in dearth of qualified electronics & electrical engineers for R&D and advancements at their units. So, the doors to IT world open with this branch of engineering also. Electronics & Communication Engineering Commonly known as ECE, this branch of engineering was also very popular among the students before the expansion of CSE. After computer science engineering widened its scope of learning, the students started showing their less inclination towards this specialization. But still it has potential to produce opportunities for you to make career in IT world. You can shortlist it as your third preference. Final Words At a seminar held at a renowned university offering different branches of B.Tech in Rajasthan, the experts from the IT sector shared one platform. The IT experts from MNCs and companies like Wipro, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra exchanged their views about life of IT specialists and how to get a job in IT with the students. This interactive session helped the students understand the scope of IT. This article was based on the insights collected from that seminar only.
