Which is easy?? 1.Chemical engineering. or 2.electronic and communication engineering. or 3.Mechatronics engineering
Dear arun.,
Coming to your query we can't say this particular branch is easy or this particular is tough to study ., It's all depends on your state of mind or within your interest.
I can say one thing if you like chemical equations, and more organic materials then you can choose chemical engineering.
If you are really interested in how Mobile work, how we can communicate with other , technology , satellite communications if you really want to know about it or you are interested in such space things you can join in ECE .
If u are interested in robotic stuff , machine learning you can choose mechatronics.
Hope these will help and all the best for your future.
If, I was passed out final year mbbs in February, but didnt complete intership, can I appear the cms exam in June? If I got selected from cms exam, should I complete intership?
Hi,
According to the educational eligibility criteria for cms exam notified by upsc in 2019 -
" A candidate who has yet to complete the compulsory rotating internship is educationally eligible for admission to the examination but on selection he/she will be appointed only after he/she has completed the compulsory rotating internship."
So you can appear for cms exam but if you get selected you have to complete the 1 year internship.
Hope it helps.
