An Engineering graduate is a person who wishes to join the engineering sector after getting his/her degree from the university. After getting the degree either he chooses for the Private sector or joins the Government sector for a job. If he joins the private sector then he might have been placed through the college placement drive. If he wishes to join the government sector then he has to qualify the exams conducted by various bodies in the country. There are various organizations which conduct the exams for the recent graduates so that they are employable. These bodies include:
