Mechanical engineering is one of the most in-demand engineering disciplines today. Every year, a stream of mechanical engineering freshers graduate with their bachelor’s degree and do their best to get a job with a reasonable salary package.

However, it’s not very easy for all mechanical engineering freshers to find a high paying job.

India still lacks the infrastructure and the facilities to improve in the recently emerging sectors such as Automation and Robotics reducing the opportunities of jobs for mechanical engineering freshers to a great extent.

That being said, being a mechanical engineering fresher has its own perks.

They can find job opportunities in many different fields, one of them being jobs in IT companies.

Yes, a mechanical engineering fresher can very easily find a job in an IT company. This is because companies during recruitment offer jobs for mechanical freshers believing that every mechanical engineer is first an ‘engineer’ and therefore is perfectly capable of using their knowledge of science and mathematics to carry out the work in hand after a little training.

Every mechanical engineering fresher before taking up a job in IT company must remember that they are most probably leaving their domain behind and taking up a job that will require them to work hard in order to push themselves up.
