Why should you choose computer science engineering as your graduation degree?

We all know that computer science is the most preferred engineering course that almost 70% of total aspirants choose every year. Many students think that with CSE, they can quickly get a job in the IT sector with a higher salary package right after graduation. Others consider this field to be comparatively more accessible than the core lines. 

However, these aren't the only two reasons one should go with computer science engineering. Several other CSE graduates will be able to enjoy it. If you are unsure about your career choice and feel confused between CSE and any other engineering field, the below-mentioned information will help solve your dilemmas. 

Here, we have illustrated the main reason to choose computer science engineering as the future education line for undergraduates. 

Introduction to new technologies

One of the main reasons to opt for computer science engineering is the ability to learn new technologies. Gone are the days when the world depended on a handful of technologies. There are so many new and disruptive concepts that CSE graduates will have golden opportunities in the coming days. For example, most businesses are trying to automate their operations, and only a computer science engineer will be able to do so with their programming knowledge.

Some of the significant technologies where a computer science students can put focus on are: 

  1. Artificial intelligence

  2. Machine learning and natural language processing

  3. Cross-platform development

  4. Data science and mining

  5. Blockchain and cryptocurrency

  6. Progressive web apps and single-page applications

  7. Cybersecurity 

Lots of career options

Computer science graduates can choose from a long list of career options. The options are endless, from a regular developer to a data science or data miner engineer. As a result, you won't have to limit yourself in terms of career options. You can easily opt for the post or job role that can help you shine with flying colors. Plus, you can shift from the development paradigm and try new fields that other engineering courses won't allow you to do. For example, you can work as an SAP consultant, quality assurance analyst, business analyst, performance tester, etc. 

Secured and stable career

A computer science career is much more secure and safer for students. The market might suffer from a recession, but the demand for CS graduates won't decline and fall to zero. With everything becoming digital, the demand for computer science engineers will skyrocket, and more opportunities will be created. This is one of the prime reasons you should opt for CSE over any other engineering course. 

Opportunity to work abroad

Many computer science graduates get the opportunity to work abroad right after graduation or within 1 to 2 years of their job life. Once you go to the onsite locations of the project, you will have double exposure and meet new people. Your network will diversify, and many opportunities will open up. So, if you are in a dilemma just because you think computer science is for developers only, it's time to let that thought take a back seat and see the whole chessboard. 

Higher salary packages

We cannot deny that computer science engineers can quickly get jobs with higher salary packages. Usually, the starting package in India is approximately INR 3.5 lakhs to INR 5 lakhs, based on the company and the job role. Now, the salary package will increase further if you have any specialization. 

More practical than theory

Last but not least, computer science engineering means more emphasis on practicals than theory. Therefore, you will be able to upskill yourself with ease.

Conclusion 

Computer science engineering might be a standard professional degree option, but it has a lot of potentials. All one needs to do is find the best college for future studies and score good marks to get a job at their favorite company.
