Undoubtedly the IITs, the premier world famous institutes in India rule the roost.
They are the best Engineering colleges not only in India, but across the world.
They are segregated on whether they are Government (G) Colleges or Private (P).
The ranking is based on following factors:
 IC: Intellectual Capital
 I&F: Infrastructure and Facilities
 PS: Pedagogic systems (the art or science of teaching; instructional
methods)
 II: Industry Interface

Breifing over high paying disciplines:

The Indian job scene is booming. And with the age of pre-placement offers setting in, the day has come
when you can get a high paying job even before you step out of college.

Moneycontrol gives you a lowdown on the career options that'll pay you the best.

The most sought after Master in Business Administration is one of the top-paying careers today. And if you're
a student from an 'A' grade institution such as the Indian Institutes of Management, easily expect Rs 750,000
to Rs 800,000 per annum as a fresher.

Varda Pendse, director of Cerebrus Consultants says that the entry-level salary is expected to go up even
more. Also salaries differ according to the industry. "Today, the finance sector offers huge sums and has
crossed the earlier darling of MBAs - the FMCG sector."

Software engineers come a close second thanks to the IT boom. But then most other
disciplines of engineering fall short. "Talking about the salary for mechanical, chemical or
electronic engineers, generally its the information technology sector that commands the
most and in case of others it is generally 20 per cent lower than the salaries offered by IT
sector," says Pendse.

College Grade/ Salary per year

Course option
Nature of employer (in Rs lakh)

A Grade Rs 7.5 to Rs 8
Masters of Business
Administration
B Grade Rs 5.5 to Rs 6

Software Engineer A Grade Rs 4.5 to Rs 5

 B Grade Rs 3.5 to Rs 4

Mechanical, Electronics,
  Rs 3.5 to Rs 4
Chemical Engineer                  

Chartered Accountants           CA firms Rs 2 to Rs 2.5    

       Consultancy firms Rs 2 to Rs 5      

          Banks Rs 2 to Rs 4

   Companies   Rs 1.5 to Rs 4  

Doctor            Rs 2 to Rs 3      

Journalist                Rs 1.2 to Rs 2    

Advertising               Rs 1 to Rs 1.2    

Public Relations                  Rs 1 to Rs 3      

Architects                Rs 2.5 to Rs 3    

Next to that would be chartered accountants who are also in big demand due to limited
supply. Asserts Pendse, "If a student has passed out in the first attempt, he can easily get a
salary of about Rs 750,000 - 800,000 per annum comparable with MBAs."

For nobler professions like doctors and dentistry, where personalised service is important,
it's your skill that determines your income. Opines Pendse, "For professions as these,
experience is like an investment. The more experienced you are, the more you get paid."

Today journalism is the buzzword. It's a discipline that promises glamour and power and
there are several institutions offering courses in mass communication. So if you've got the
nose for news you can create brand equity for yourself, which can easily translate into a
pay packet of your choice.

That apart fashion designing, merchandising are yet some of the other creative fields that
most of the younger lot opt for. Says Pendse, "Creative fields as these are still unorganised
and are more individualistic. Famous designers recruit fresh graduates and pay them a
salary that could be as low as Rs 3,000 per month.

"But an experience with them, is an investment in itself.

However, if you join as a merchandiser in any retail outlet like Pantaloon [ Get Quote ] or
Globus, expect a remuneration of about Rs 250,000 to Rs 300,000 per annum.

Parveen Shaikh, head psychologist, YoungBuzz India Ltd, says, "If you branch out on
your own later on, you could earn anything between Rs 1,000 to Rs 500,000 or more for a
single dress."

Of course, if you become a marquee designer and are lucky enough to go international,
you could for a single creation, quite literally ask for the moon.

Advises Pendse, "While money is important, do not give more importance to

compensation than your interest. Know your strengths and competency before joining any
place. Also, while the salary may be unattractive today, it could reach a new high
tomorrow.

"For instance in the broking industry if you're employed with Sharekhan or Indiabulls [

levels higher compared to anywhere else. Higher level of respect and designation are two
other important things, you need to look for."

So what are the ideal factors to consider?

Before you make a choice analyse what is it that you would like to do, in short your area
of interest.

According to Shaikh ideally, make a choice of career on the basis of the following:

Step 1: Assess your true abilities, interest and personality either yourself or by visiting a
career-counselling centre.

Step 2: Based on your interests make a primary list of careers. See to it that these careers
are in sync with your personality and abilities

Step 3: Now explore all the careers in your primary list. Get to know more about the job
profiles, requirements, prospects, how to develop your career, a typical day in the life of
the professional among others.

Step 4: Once you're done with the above, pick the one that suits you the most.
