Choosing Between BSc or B.Tech for Engineering: Job Opportunities and Advice

AI Thread Summary
Concerns about ranking in engineering entrance exams are prevalent, with some considering a second attempt but fearing distractions. An alternative path discussed is pursuing a BSc followed by an MSc, with inquiries about job prospects in that route. The potential for higher salaries through a B.Tech leading to an MS or M.Tech is also highlighted, particularly for those interested in robotics and circuit design. The conversation emphasizes the distinction between engineering and pure science, with a focus on the relevance of these paths in various countries, particularly India, where B.Tech is more common. The decision ultimately hinges on personal interests in practical engineering versus theoretical science.

I am afraid that I won't get good rank in engineering entrance exam. I have an option of second attempt but I will get distracted easily. So the next option is a BSc. What kind of jobs will I be able to do if I follow this path: BSc->MSc?

because I heard you get more salary in the above path.
I like making robots and designing circuits. So which course will be better for me?

It's the B.Tech that seems to be coming largely from India.
 
This is what I wanted to now.
Should I take engineering or should I take pure science(theoretical)?
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
