Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Hello user,

As a matter of fact most engineering students these days end up in IT industry because of the demand. Also all engineering disciplines' curriculums have subjects related to IT industry so you must be aware of that as well. Software companies are quite open to hiring engineers from any discipline depending on their potential. One thing you should keep in mind while applying for software jobs is the requirement of the job. Brush up your skills in the area the software company deals with before the interview. Also making few simple projects in a S/W language you are comfortable with maybe beneficial.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Hi dear,

There are software companies which intake mechanical engineers for various project works and there they work in harmony .

yes mechanical engineer can apply for the post of software engineer provided he must have sound knowledge of computer language like java , C,C++.

you can take up a job related to programming or
software based analysis like
Ansys
Matlab
CFD- computational fluid dynamics
CNC programming

you have to do same job with the other those are recruited for the same post irrespective of the stream. but do not worry they will first train you how to do the job

Thanks

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

comparitive to previous year this year it is in a good position with more job opportunities

.it companies are giving importance to attitude and technical and communication skills of a person.

generally the pattern of selection for any company involves the following rounds


1) written aptitude (read rs agarwal aptitude and reasoning books)

2) technical interview (read c ,java ,dbms, os standard textbooks)

3) hr interview

( be confident, prepare for questions like "tell me about yourself", "strengths and weakness", "toughest situation faced you"

this round is really a good opportunity to present yourself be positive show patience)

all the best

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Yes friend. You can apply for software companies. Before applying you need to do some courses in languages like c,c++,java, oracle.... etc .

Now a days an engineer from every branch can easily get into the software sectors.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

HI WONDER LOVER
so you wanna jump to software side right ,if you don't mine can i say one thing be in the mechanical side only because if you really try then their are many jobs in mechanical field .

but you need to have some patience to get good job with good salary .

If u come to software side then their is a lots of competition and one more thing if u come to software side what about our self's .

Don't worry trust me ill tell you the correct info if you jump to software side also .

K lets know what all you want to apply for a software job

Good academics score it may be any stream .

you need to know some languages like

C

C++

java

and you need to prepare for aptitude test

you need to be good at English speaking it must be fluent.


some of the software companies

INFOSYS Limited, formerly Infosys Technologies Limited

GENPACT

WIPRO Limited formerly Western India Products Limited

HCL (Hindustan Computers Limited)

IBM (International Business Machines Corporation)

ADP (Automatic Data Processing)

ALL THE BEST

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Hi Friend ,
No ,you cant apply for Engineering at all if you are from a pure medical student .
I mean If your main subjects in 10+2 were PCB with English ,Hindi/IP then you are not eligible for Engineering Entrance Exam .
If you had Mathematics too in your 10+2 then you are eligible for Engineering Entrance Exam
Other than this you sshould have minimum 50% marks in Mathematics and 60% in PCM together .
You can Apperar for Various Engineering Exams like AIEEE , IIT-JEE and many other state level Entrance Exams .

Good Luck!!

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

First is my question to you that why are you want ti come in software field?
if you want to know then i want to tell you that this software and IT field support all of the guys who have a good knowledge of their field, if you have knowledge then you are welcome.
so you are welcome in this field, but you have some knowledge of c, c++ or java.
I know you are asking this question on the base of your knowledge in software field. so you have knowledge about the programming language, then you can come in this field.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

dear friend,

Yes , Mechanical department are eligible for software company.

But you are eligible for On campus . In off campus some company can't consider any non IT departments.

The eligible companies are TCS , CTS , WIPRO ,INFOSYS ,IBM etc.

So don't worry , you are applicable for software company.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

During the campus placement, software companies select only CSE, IT and ECE engineers. But you can apply off-campus in IT companies. But for getting a job you will have to study programming languages like C, C++, C#, Java, .net, SQL from a coaching centre. You should have excellent communication skills and no backlogs.

Yes, you can get a job in IT company.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

dear friend,

Any engineers having good skills about some languages like C,C++,Java etc can apply for software jobs.

If you have knowledge about such languages & having interest in software field then you should apply for it, other wise i suggest you to do MBA then you will get more job prospects. Otherwise you can join any company related to your mechanical skills.

Choice is yours.

good luck.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Hi,
Yes off course, Mechanical engineering students can work in IT industries. Its not necessary that you have to have good knowledge on software. There are seperate branches where Mech. students can work. Eg, Infosys recruit many Mech. students.

Thank You.
Good luck.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Hello friend,
well it sector has job for every skilled person and also owing to computerisation of every work ... u can think of nice scope of mechanical engg in it sector.
U must have heard of CAD modelling, reverse engg. these work are combination of mechanical engg and computer engg. Get urself updated about these software ..then u may head for R&D or for a good job.

hello,

there is a very little scope for an mechanical engineer in software industry.

that too if you are certified in languages or operating systems.
Do certificate courses form any computer firm and you may get a job on that basis in a software industry.

Re: Can mechanical engineer apply for software job?

Some companies like Infosys,TCS etc., don't consider branch at all.They consider if you have application skills or not thats all.
