In India, academics is a family subject, parents and relatives play an important role in shaping how and where the child completes their undergraduate and graduate studies. Even today a child’s journey through Class 8 to Class 12 is crafted by what they are good at. If your child has a dominant left brain, meaning is better at maths and science then the option is clear engineering or medicine. While medicine is for those students who have a higher aptitude in life sciences, anatomy and human studies, engineering is for those who show an aptitude for physics, numerals and experiments. This of course can be further divided into various branches of engineering.

This brings us to the question – Why do so many students opt for the coveted engineering degree? The answer lies in fact that though a career in medicine is lucrative at the beginning, the gap between higher salaries narrows as engineers progress in their careers. Higher salaries is equal to a better standard of living, and hence the best possible option.
