Having some friends studying in these institutes, I can say that as per what they mentioned, NIT Patna arrives with a better placement rate than the other two counterparts. 

• In a nutshell, there are multiple core companies that visit the campus during the placement drive. 
• These include major firms like Alston transport, L&T HED, L&T Constructions, Thermal, Havells, TATA Motors and many others.
• Other than these few, various other students secure placement offers in companies belonging to the IT sector and the Consultancy services. 

But, apart from the factors mentioned above, NIT Silchar is several steps ahead because it has established one of the best campuses, unlike many. That is the only brownie point NIT Silchar enjoys. It is best if you still research vividly about the prospects implanted in either institutes, and see what suits you best. 

A few cousins of mine have completed their B.Tech from VIT Vellore with different branches. With them being successfully placed, their experience says you must choose VIT among both of these. Here’s why:

• Mechanical engineering at VIT Vellore is far better as you will get better exposure there. There is a huge emphasis on students coming up with their innovations and technology.

• The quality of students at VIT can be easily compared with that of top NITs, as there is no caste-based reservation at VIT unlike PEC, Chandigarh.

In the end, it is best recommended to choose VIT Vellore for Mechanical engineering as it offers better exposure and opportunities. However, PEC is also a good college and its fee structure is quite nominal as compared to VIT. In case of budget constraints, go for PEC.

As some of my friends studied at LNCT Bhopal, I can say that the mechanical engineering course offered by them is pretty good. 

• A course in Mechanical Engineering is considered to be among the most prestigious courses of a core branch that is offered by the institution. 
• Every year, several firms visit the campus of the institution to recruit skilled students with innovative ideas for various job profiles. 
• Many companies recruit students from all departments of the institution and not just the department of mechanical engineering. 
• The Institution’s training and placement cell put in efforts actively in assisting the students so that they can acquire a good job role at a reputable firm that hires students on-campus at LNCT. 
• It can be a great choice for you and the students who are looking out for quality education in their graduate programs or for career prospects and enhancement. 

The college campus has a pretty good infrastructure and is student-friendly. This in my opinion would work for the overall development of the enrolled students at the institute and in getting hired by reputed organizations. 

Chandigarh University is a well-established university. According to some of my friends studying there, it is well known for its amazing placement statistics in the fields of Engineering, management, marketing, and many more.

Automobile Engineering at Chandigarh University

• This department deals with the design, production, management, maintenance, and research of vehicles.
• The placements are good at Chandigarh University. A good number of companies both national and MNCs visit the campus for placement drives.
• Companies such as Liu Gong, Cummins, Tafe, Honda, Royal Enfield, John Deere, Swaraj, Hyundai visited the campus for the placement of the Automobile industry.
• The placement packages usually depend on various factors such as Industry type, job profile offered, specialization, and the most important thing, the capability of the student.

Other than campus placements, many students also opt for off-campus placement through internships and other recruitment drives. Thus, the placement package depends on various factors including the student.

Mechanical Engineering is an evergreen branch and considering the placement rate of LNCT, which is 75-80%, it hardly provides any placements to the mechanical branch students. It means the mechanical branch students don't have the core placements. 

In the year 2020, there were 3-4 companies that came to the campus for the core placements and took a very less number of students. Therefore, there are very few placement opportunities for a mechanical branch student in LNCT Bhopal.

There are either no core placements or else the Institute will ask students to apply for the marketing companies and get a placement in that domain. 

But then, if a student is good with the skill set and has good abilities, prepare for the exams like GATE, ONGC. It will help him/her in the future.
