Core companies are where you will use the knowledge that you have studied in your engineering. In non-core, work is generalistic which may bore you after some times.

The trend of engineering graduates opting for IT companies, leaving a talent crunch in the core industry seems to be slowly changing. Anna University this year attracted over 30 core companies, and many of them were given slots before the IT bigwigs. “We are making efforts to prevent the internal brain drain within engineering specialisations,” says T. Kalaiselvan, Deputy Director, Centre for University- Industry Collaboration.

And the core companies are trying to match the standards of IT companies too in matters of challenges, opportunities and salaries, say experts. Many mechanical core companies offered salaries on a par with their IT counterparts this year, the average being Rs. 4.5 lakh per annum.

Public sector companies have got into the act too by recruiting relatively more students this year. “A few years back, students would not think of going for them, but now since most of these companies have overseas operations, their offers are irresistible.” says Mr. Kalaiselvan. Validating this opinion is D. Parthiban, a final year Manufacturing Engineering student at CEG who got placed with BHEL. “You get the same opportunities and perks, and your years of studying a particular engineering do not go waste,” he says.Many core engineering graduates feel that while IT has immense scope to accommodate people from different disciplines, coming back to your specialisation becomes difficult after some time. S. Krish, who graduated in Polymer Technology engineering from Amrita University two years ago, and has been working in an IT company in Chennai since then says, “Core companies do not prefer us easily, and even if they do, the IT experience doesn't count beyond a point.
