According to a Deloitte report on the Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index rankings by country, India is expected to rise six places. As a result, it is clear that India's manufacturing industry would reach new heights, creating new chances for mechanical engineers.
India will require more innovative and talented mechanical engineers as the manufacturing industry gets more modern and sophisticated.
The government is investing a lot of time and money into grooming young talents and bringing in a lot of innovation among engineers through the "Make in India" and "Skill India" projects.
As a result, mechanical engineering students have a lot of opportunities to develop a successful career in these fields.
New prospects for mechanical engineers have arisen as a result of recent technical advancements, such as nanotechnology, composite material development, biomedical applications, environmental conservation, and so on.
Mechanical engineers have always had a steady work market. Although some mechanical engineering companies have lost focus as a result of recent technological breakthroughs, the overall situation is presently considerably better when compared to other engineering streams.
These professionals earn an average annual salary of Rs. 337,899 a year. Mechanical engineers with capabilities in machining, cutting-edge printing technologies, computational fluid dynamics, and automotive engineering concepts have a higher average pay scale.
Mechanical engineers' skill sets and employment duties will be the most important driving force behind product creation, innovation, patents, and manufacturing quality in India.
The Make in India initiative will deliver some of India's most forward-thinking initiatives to fruition, elevating the sector to new heights. Additionally, several industrial centers are providing mechanical engineers with several options.
Outside of India, there is an equivalent increase of opportunities, as practically every invention we see incorporates the use of mechanical engineering in some form.
Mechanical engineers are in high demand, as evidenced by the following statistics:
So, while the demand for mechanical engineers will not decrease in the next years, the most difficult criterion will be the competence level of engineers that the industry anticipates. With greater technical breakthroughs, firms are now looking for engineers that are more hands-on and can help with their processes right away without having to invest time and resources in training.
In addition to your curricula, you'll need to obtain more practical abilities to increase your career possibilities. Manav Rachna has the infrastructure and platform to support you in learning innovative and cutting-edge technologies so that you will not only master technical topics but also become acquainted with technology and gain a better knowledge of it as you learn and construct projects.
