AN OVERVIEW OF INDUSTRIAL GROWTH AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

Wanted to work for the core engineering departments but worried about the industry growth and job opportunities? This article will help you to get a complete understanding of the core industries in India as well as the job opportunities that are available for the freshers.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

One of the oldest and broadest fields of engineering, Mechanical engineering deals with the design, construction, and use of machines. The programme endows students with a basic understanding, and knowledge of how heavy tools and machinery work. A student pursuing a mechanical engineering programme will acquire knowledge about designing automobiles, electric motors, aircraft, and other heavy vehicles.

Mechanical engineers design everything from new batteries, athletic equipment to medical devices and personal computers, air conditioners, automobile engines to electric power plants. These engineers also design machines that produce these innovations.

SCOPE OF MECHANICAL ENGINEERING IN CORE INDUSTRY

The scope of a mechanical engineering career in India and abroad is huge, as mechanical engineering touches almost each and every aspect of our lives in one way or the other. Spanning multiple industries, the career opportunities for students pursuing the program is vast and diverse.

Core industries can be defined as the main or key industries of the economy. In most countries, these industries are the backbone of all other sectors.

The ‘Eight Core Industries’ are:

  • Electricity
  • Steel
  • Refinery products
  • Crude oil
  • Coal
  • Cement
  • Natural gas and
  • Fertilizers

The Index of ‘Eight Core Industries’ is a monthly production index, which is also considered as a lead indicator of the monthly industrial performance. Index of Industrial Production (IIP) is an index that tracks manufacturing activity in different sectors of an economy. The IIP number measures the industrial production for the period under review, usually a month, as against the reference period. IIP is a key economic indicator of the manufacturing sector of the economy.

GROWTH OF CORE SECTOR IN THE YEAR 2020

India’s core sector expanded by 2.2% in January, a mild increase from 2.1% in December, data released by the commerce and industry ministry. The eight infrastructure industries grew by 1.5% in January last year.The growth was aided by increased output in five out of eight industries — coal, refineries, steel, cement, and electricity. The production of coal, refinery products, and electricity grew by 8%, 1.9% and 2.8%, respectively.

JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR MECHANICAL ENGINEERS IN GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS

There are plenty of mechanical engineering career opportunities for mechanical engineering in Government and PSU such as:

  • BHEL
  • IOCL
  • BPCL
  • HPCL
  • GAIL
  • ONGC
  • SAIL
  • NLCIL
  • VIZAG STEEL
  • DRDO
  • HAL
  • BEML
  • ECIL
  • MAGZON
  • NHPC
  • NTPC

These are some of the Central Government jobs for mechanical engineers, which can be obtained only through the GATE exam.
