Computers are used in almost every aspect of our lives: in car engines, microwave ovens, video games, watches, telephones, desktops at home and work, mainframe computers in government and industry, and supercomputers expanding the frontiers of science and technology. The computer industry is one of the fastest growing segments of our economy and that growth promises to continue well for a long period of time.
Computing professionals might find themselves in a variety of environments in academia, research, industry, government, private and business organizations -- analyzing problems for solutions, formulating and testing, using advanced communications or multi-media equipment, or working in teams for product development.
Compared to the other engineering fields, computer engineering graduates receive excellent pay package at the initial level itself. They can find job openings both in India and abroad. The remuneration depends on the status of the industry and experience, qualifications and ability of the employee.
As compared to the government sector, private firms offer excellent pay packages. In India a fresh graduate in computer engineering can get a starting salary of Rs. 10, 000 – Rs.25, 000 and within 1 or 2 year of experience it may gradually increase to Rs. 30,000 - Rs. 40,000 or more per month. A lecturer in this field can earn an amount Rs 8000 – Rs. 13,500/- plus dearness allowances. A fresh computer science engineering graduate from the best technological universities/colleges (IITs and NIT) are offered annual pay package of up to Rs. 10, 00,000.
