What is the scope of Metallurgical Engineering at Jadavpur University?

I am also a former JU student but not from metallurgy department. I think Sandeepan has answered your questions correctly. But I would like to provide few generic advice that will help you immensely if you follow. 1) Do lots of research on what kind of job you want to do in future. Its a great relief to see that youngsters like you are starting to think about your career so early. If you do the research properly then you will come to a decision before reaching third year. Remember one thing : you should be absolute clear what you want in your life and failing to do so will only slow you down. Look around you that people who know themselves are the one successful, Just because you are not from IIT won't affect your chances. For example Satya Nadella is not from any of the IIT but the dude is already in race to head Microsoft.There are plenty of such example. 2) Be crazy about building Networking .This is one thing I guess Indian universities do not teach.If possible find out a guy who knows stuff and ask him to be your mentor. Quora is a good place to start. You have no idea how much it can help you. While IIT tag helps but a well informed of alumni of JU can also help you to go extra mile. Remember the moment you know you are not from IIT, it becomes self fulfilling prophecy. 3) I will not raise your hopes high about JU. I mean its a premier organization but the level of nurturing talent is no where close to Top universities. What I mean is that you are on your own to make your own future. One thing I can bluntly say that you should party hard in JU but work harder and harder. Don't dilute your GPA and studies.But do take some good leadership roles in the Hobby Clubs which will immensely help your profile in future 4) Finally, I have admits from few good MBA schools in USA and Europe. So doing MBA from overseas is my forte. If you really want to do an MBA from foreign schools make sure you plan early and do not go to any IT or Finance jobs. It takes at least 50-60 lakhs to complete an MBA from a decent US B Schools. Plan your finances well. Join a non-profit organization and work your way up to leadership position.This will immensely help your profile. I can vouch that if you want to do an MBA from foreign universities your not being from IIT will not affect at all. Your work experience, GMAT score, extra-curricular activities and essays will play the most important part. And if you have noticed all these are part of your identity not your under-graduate school's. So build them judiciously and vigorously. 5) Sandeepan has done an excellent job on providing placement data. Let me tell you one thing .You will get a job but if you have a "The job" in your mind you have to make special effort for that. But I guess you already know that. In summary, wherever you go you will end up in good hands. Best of luck

If you are going to take admission in a department after considering the number of people who go for MBA or who go for PhD and not because you wanted to study this subject, I STRONGLY advise you not to take admission. Because before CAT/GRE/GATE/UPSC/IES, you will have to slog through four years here. And unless you like what you are studying, you will end up as a bitter and frustrated person. Try going for something you like. Anyway, I am not a metallurgical engineer. I will tag who can tell you detailed structure of the course and future prospects.

I am a current JU student and my have friends at Metallurgical Engineering Department. All I would say its has lot of scope if you study well and many government PSU's come for placement. And as a branch it is far better than its competitor's like Chemical, IT, etc.
