Production & Industrial Engineering(P&I engineering) deals with various techniques of manufacturing used in manufacturing industries by keeping management science in mind. It includes various application of Metrology, Automation, Metal cutting and tool desiging, Machine tools etc. Production & industrial management mainly deals with integrated design and efficient planning of the entire manufacturing system which is a very complex work.
A production & industrial management engineer has a wide knowledge of engineering practices and possess a wide set of skills and attitude based on scientific knowledge and market. They are even involved in oil and gas field’s development areas. The goal of a production& industrial engineer is to complete a production process in a vry smooth and economical way with a proper use of math and statistics by keeping one thing in their mind that they have to stay up-to-date with the technologies.
Graduate engineers find various employment opportunities in production firms both in private and government sectors. Production & industrial engineers are in great need in manufacturing industries for the smooth execution of their instrumental manufacturing industries. Industrial and production engineers can seek employment in various fields such as armed forces, railways and other government departments as well as in most PSUs. Professionals in this career can also opt for teaching jobs in universities and colleges.

The average starting salary for a P&I engineer with bachelor degree is about 55,000 per month, with a master degree got approx. 70,000 and 80,000 for an engineer with doctorate degree. The salary increases rapidly as they become more and more experienced.
P&I engineers can work with all types of engineering and manufacturing industries in public as well as private sectors. Because of endless infrastructure projects, the demand of P&I engineering increased nowadays. P&I engineers can get job in almost all types of industries, private consultancy firms, R&D establishments of big companies. A P&I engineer can work in construction sector, Comm. Sector etc. As they are even involved in oil and gas field so they can even join OIL & GAS manufacturing companies. Hence the future scope of a P&I engineer is very enterprising.
The eligibility criteria of a P&I engineering is same as Mechanical engineering as 80% syllabus of P&I engineering is same as Mechanical engineering. To join production & industrial engineering field the candidate should have 60% marks in XII- standard with physics and math. The candidate should aware with the Today’s technologies and have a great interest and knowledge in designing.
