Which course is better...mechanical engineering dual degree at IIEST Shibpur or 4 years degree mechanical engineering degree at NIT DURGAPUR?
When you complete a course of four years normally, you complete your graduation with the fundamentals of your branch which allows you to pursue higher studies if they are in your interests. It also gives you the option, at the same time, to complete your undergraduate degree in another subject if you wish to.
If you want to pursue a dual course, it can probably put a dent in your freedom to pursue your interests and you will be ‘rewarded’ with the master’s degree. Another problem after receiving the master’s degree would be the confusion about looking for a job, pursuing a doctorate in the field of your interest(s).
The dual degree in mechanical will demand more dedication from you but the four-year degrees are easier compared to those. Mechanical engineering is a good option if going for higher studies is in your interests.
Which is better: CS from KIIT or mechanical from Thapar University?
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that KIIT is promising and is getting better every year. Thapar is a well-known and much older institute. You can choose either by preferring the college or the branch.
- If you are interested in studying mechanical engineering then go to Thapar. It has good placements for Mechanical. The faculty department is also decent.
- If you are more inclined towards coding go for CSE from KIIT. It is a more practical-oriented subject.
- If the interests do not lie in either and you just want a B.Tech degree and want to pursue higher studies or MBA, then go for CSE as that is the easiest among all the others.
- It will be more practical-based learning, more industry-oriented and it has the best scope after graduation.
| Categories | CS from KIIT | Mechanical at Thapar |
| Course Fee | 12.91 lakhs | 13.23 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 30 LPA | 19 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12-16 LPA | 11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Infosys, Dell, Deloitte, etc. | Tech Mahindra, TCS, JP Morgan, Cisco, etc. |
So you should decide your field of interest and what type of job or higher studies you would like to do and then opt for the branch that fits best for you.
What should I choose between CSE (5 years) at IIT Bhubaneswar or mechanical (4 years) at IIT Madras or CSE Dhanbad(4years)?

Is the electrical course better than the mechanical course at PEC in Chandigarh?
Two years ago, one of my friends was in the same situation. He could have taken electrical and sit for every company’s placements. If he chooses mechanical, then only core opportunities are open. Given the circumstances, he chose electrical in the first round of counseling. It was so because he would at least get a chance to sit in almost every business.
Sitting in a good company does not guarantee a good job, and mechanical engineering at PEC is far superior to that of many NITs and even IITs. Trusting his seniors and teachers, he switched to mechanical on the spot round to which he doesn't regret till now.
If you're interested in electrical, go for it. Since my friend had no particular interest in any of these subjects, he preferred mechanical over electrical.
Which is better CE at NIT Trichy or Mech. at MNNIT, Allahabad?
Some of my friends studied at MNNIT, so I might be able to answer your question. It is suggested that you choose Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad rather than Civil at NIT Trichy.
Your branch of choice is more important than your college preference. In terms of opportunities, Mechanical Engineering has a slight advantage over Civil Engineering
Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad has a consistent placement record. Mechanical students receive more job offers than Civil Engineering graduates. PSUs often choose Mechanical Engineering graduates.
