Engineers Day 2025: Engineers Day is celebrated all over the world on 15th September in memory of one of India’s greatest engineers, Bharat Ratna awardee M. Visvesvaraya. It celebrates the great work done by engineers in making society better and inspires the spirits of young innovators. On Engineers Day 2025, there arises again and again one question: Which kind of engineer earns the most? Let’s look into the earnings for some branches of engineering.

Types of Engineers and their Careers

1. Civil Engineers
Dig up, infrastructure backbone to the bridges, highways, and buildings. In India, entry-level civil engineers generally earn from ₹4-7 LPA, yet the experienced ones at senior positions cross the ₹15-20 LPA mark at times, chiefly in construction companies.

2. Mechanical Engineers
Concerned with machines, robotics, and manufacturing. Freshers generally earn around ₹5-8 LPA from various sectors, for example, automotive R&D, can reach a height of ₹18-25 LPA.

3. Electrical Engineer
Specializes in power systems, renewable energy, and electronics. The amount ranges for freshers around ₹6-10 LPA can reach as high as around ₹20-28 LPA with experience in the energy project.

4. Computer & Software Engineers
Currently, these are the highest-paid engineers in India. Starting packages for jobs in artificial intelligence, data science, and cyber security are in the range of ₹10-15 LPA, and the best tech companies even offer around ₹35-60 LPA to some select candidates with extraordinary skillset.

5. Chemical Engineering
Highly demanded in pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, and fast-moving consumer goods. The average here is ₹6-12 LPA, while candidates for jobs with global MNCs potently cross ₹20-30 LPA.

6. Aerospace Engineering
Very unique, but also highly lucrative. Starting scales are held at between ₹8-12 LPA, while the previous ones working in ISRO, DRDO, or private aerospace companies can earn somewhere in between ₹25-40 LPA.

7. Biotechnology and Biomedical Engineers
Transformers of healthcare and biotechnological realms. Entry-level packages are around ₹5-8 LPA, while senior specialists and researchers earn around ₹18-25 LPA.

More Above?

Three highest-paid ones will be Petroleum Engineers, Software Engineers, and Data Engineers in the worlds; best paid salaries in India certainly belong to it and tech industries, which while always went way before the salaries given for the traditional branches alone.
