Today
environmental engineers have come to play an important role by being the
custodians of the environment. In the last few years, India has witnessed
tremendous economics growth but it has also brought in pollution of air
, water, sound and soil. Though large scale economic development has created
opportunities for millions of people, the debate at present and in recent
past has veered around sustainable development - development of the present
generation without compromising the development of the future generation,
so that the degeneration of natural resources can be checked.
The environmental engineering
branch in IIT's New Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur and Chennai offer programmes
at the M.Tech level, but only for those who are B.Tech in Civil Engineering.
Moreover, students at the M.Tech programmes are admitted through Graduate
Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). Also, the IIT-Mumbai offers programmes
in Environmental Engineering through a separate department called Centre
for Environmental Science and Engineering. However, most of the engineering
colleges in the country do offer undergraduate programmes in environmental
engineering.
Not only this, there are
possibilities of students going for Master of Science and even Ph.D. programmes
in environmental engineering in the US and European Universities.
The graduates and the post-graduates
in environment engineering have a host of opporrtunities in the fields
of effluent treatment plant, environment management planning and public
sector undertakings.
The Environment Engineers
get recruited in Central Pollution Control Board and State Pollution Control
Boards as analysts. Starting an environment consultancy is another very
lucrative proposition. Normally, environmental engineers begin with a
salary of around Rs.10,000 to Rs.12,000 in public sector organisations
but it could be on the higher side if you join in the private sector.
For people starting their own consultancy firm, the incomes may vary from
a few thousands to lakhs of rupees per month depending upon the networking
and hardwork they are able to put in. Moreover, consultancy firms in foreign
countries also recruit environment related projects which are very lucrative.
