Obtaining your B.E/BTech degree is a great accomplishment. There is infinite amount of career and life paths that you can choose from after your graduation.
Applying for campus placement, starting your own firm, go for professional certification courses, do an internship, apply for UPSC Civil Services/Engineering services etc. are some options available if you do not wish to go for higher studies.
On the other hand, if you wish to enhance your subject expertise and gain specialised knowledge, you can enroll in a Post-Graduate programme after B.E/BTech. Gaining a master’s degree can also help you get senior-level jobs and earn a higher salary.
