I'm getting a seat at NIT Jalandhar in production engineering. What is the scope of the branch in India? Which master's should I choose: an MBA or an MTech?
Scope of Industrial and Production Engineering is good at NIT Jalandhar. But you will be offered less salary in comparison to Mechanical Engineering.
But if you go for a non-core job, the salaries offered might be above average.
Between M.Tech and MBA, I will recommend you go for MBA. This is because M.Tech placements are very low and very little scope is there.
Choosing MBA will get you the following benefits:
-
Better salary than M.Tech.
-
The curriculum for IPE is easier so you can also prepare for CAT alongside
-
The faculty is extremely supportive
-
The syllabus of IPE and MBA is somewhat similar so it becomes easy for you
People choose M.Tech thinking its a bit similar to IPE. But in reality IPE has a practical and managerial subjects whereas M.Tech has more technical subjects. So don’t get confused and just go for IPE.
Should I take production engineering at MNNIT Allahabad or mechanical engineering at NIT Jalandhar?
Mechanical is an option at NIT Jalandhar.
Although MNNIT Allahabad has a better brand name than NIT Jalandhar, the production branch has many disadvantages when compared to the mechanical branch.
Unless someone specifically mentions Production Engineering, you will have to compete with mechanical students at NIT Allahabad during placements and off-campus interviews. When compared to Mechanical, there are fewer job opportunities.
There may now be one or two PSUs with separate vacancies for Production students. Mechanical paper is required in order to obtain PSUs, which are extremely difficult to crack. GATE is very important for core branches, and Mechanical has a high level of competition compared to other branches. Only if you intend to change your branch after one year should you enroll in NIT Allahabad; otherwise, do not.

What should I take, mechanical engineering at NIT Jalandhar or electrical at PEC Chandigarh?
The choice of course depends on your own interests. But as far as the college is concerned, I recommend you go for PEC. It’s way better than NIT Jalandhar. Some advantages PEC enjoys over NIT Jalandhar are
-
Better placement and packages ( Highest CTC in PEC- INR 46 LPA whereas in NIT Jalandhar INR 43.5 LPA).
-
Better exposure through seminars
-
Location-wise PEC has better connectivity as NIT Jalandhar is situated on the outskirts.
-
If you are planning to prepare for GATE, then coaching and competition are better in Chandigarh than in Jalandhar.
So choose the course of your choice but go for PEC rather than NIT Jalandhar.
What are the recommended books for the B.Tech first year students in NIT Jalandhar?
Some books I’d highly recommend to first-year B.Tech. students at NIT Jalandhar are:
-
For basic electrical - Fundamentals of electric circuits, Kothari.
-
Millman or Boylestad or NN Bhargava (basic electronics
-
Amit Lal's videos on youtube are enough for Management principles
-
B.S. Grewal (Mathematics)
-
Let us C (Computer Programming).
-
Manas Patnaik videos are enough for engineering graphics
-
You will receive a pdf from your professor for Manufacture process
-
general knowledge is enough, no need to study Environmental ethics
-
Schwam series and data structures with C for Data Structures.
These books along with self-study and class notes will be more than enough for a B.Tech. student in the first year.
Which college should I take for mechanical engineering? I am confused among PEC Chandigarh, NIT Kurukshetra, and NIT Jalandhar.
NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list.
The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.
Is mechanical and electronics in NIT Jalandhar as good as CS in the same college?
Mechanical in NIT Jalandhar:
4-5 senior faculty members are excellent. Every ad-hock is very poor and useful in any way. Undergraduate research opportunities are limited, but you can participate in mechanical teams and learn a lot at international-level competitions and race events, or you can start your own. Self-knowledge is the only source of knowledge. If you want, you can get the most out of your knowledge and experience by leaving here. In terms of numbers, placement is excellent. For a long time, the campus has been dominated by PSUs and automobile companies. This includes excellent companies involved in the core design, the power sector, and the energy sector. They don't go there very often, but the overall placement is excellent.
CSE: Students have good grades and get good jobs as a result of the market boom. Some students are very good learners who work hard for their studies and knowledge, but this type of student is between the ages of 8 and 10. The remaining 80 people dance, sing, and participate in other activities.
ECE: Faculty members are friendly and helpful. Students are exceptional. Placements are good, and some students study the entire CSE curriculum to get the job. If you want to come here, you must choose with your mind, consider all aspects, and think wisely.
Should I opt for a minor degree in CSE or IT? I am an ECE major student at NIT Jalandhar.
Every opportunity has its pros and cons both. Similarly, opting for a minor degree in CSE being an ECE major at NIT Jalandhar is both beneficial and difficult. It will increase your academic load. It may or may not help you get better placements.
My personal suggestion would be to give up on a minor degree in CSE and rather pursue additional courses like
-
Machine Learning/Networking(CCNA)
-
Cloud Computing(GCP/AWS)
-
Competitive Coding
These skills will add value to your CV and pay you back tenfold rather than the CSE minor degree.
What things should I pack for NIT Jalandhar hostel?
For NIT Jalandhar hostel, all you can pack is some clothes and items of basic need. Most of the basic necessities can be met by the NIT Jalandhar General Store which has toiletries and other essentials. Apart from clothes, you should also pack:
-
Shoes
-
Slippers

Odomos
-
Mattress
-
Extra snacks

Badminton rackets if you want to play
-
Bed sheets

Pillows
These are some major necessities that you can bring from home. Other miscellaneous items can be bought from the shops within the campus.
How is the mathematics department of NIT Jalandhar for MSc students?
The Mathematics department of NIT Jalandhar is newly established and so not at par with the M.Tech. department. The faculty is not that experienced either and you will find assistant teachers more. Most of the NITs don't have faculties of varied expertise for the MSc program. Moreover, placements are also just average. Most of the students apply for teaching jobs or Ph.D. So opt MSc in Mathematics only if it is your last choice. But if you have already joined it or are adamant about joining it then these tips will help you make the most of the course:
-
Keep in touch with the Mathematics fraternity around the world
-
Attend Mathematics seminars and conferences which will give you a better understanding of the subject and its applications.
-
Initiate things on your own during college seminars, departmental events, or technical fests.
-
Lastly, focus on your academics
You can make the most out of the resources of this department even if it is lacking in many aspects.
