It all depends on your personal preferences and what appeals to you the most. However, if none of these two branches piques your attention, then definitely mechanical engineering in PEC is the way to go. 

  • Mechanical is often favored over Aerospace in terms of placement, faculty, or any other criterion.
  • Mechanical is an evergreen branch, as they claim, and they call it that for a reason. 
  • It is in high demand. All industries will need the mind of a mechanical engineer today and forever.

How is PEC Chandigarh for mechanical engineering? Is it comparable to NITs? Which college should I prefer?

PS
Praveen Sharma Posted On : April 30th, 2021
B.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

One of my friends is an alumnus of PEC Chandigarh. According to him, the Mechanical branch has good placement statistics. Here are a few highlights of the branch that may be helpful. 

  • You can easily secure an average package of 6-7 LPA.
  • In recent years the highest CTC offered to students of this branch is around 15 LPA. Although companies offering software-based profiles even offer 22 LPA.
  • Some of the major recruiters for the Mechanical branch are JP Morgan, Tata, ITC, Hero, Bajaj, ZS Associates, Maruti, etc. 
  • The placement average of the branch is almost 80% and only students with low CGPA remain unplaced. 
  • PEC doesn’t have a good research culture. If you are interested in good research exposure, go for an internship at any IIT.
  • According to my friend the quality of teaching is average. 

Lastly, if you have options to go for better NITs such as Allahabad, Bhopal, Raipur, etc. go for it. Many reputed PSUs visit the campus placements of these NITs and offer Design profiles.

Which university is the best for mechanical engineering, KLU or Vignan?

AS
Ayush Sirohia Posted On : September 3rd, 2021
B.Tech Electrical and Electronics Engineering & Information Technology, Vignan University in 2020

Both institutes will offer you placements in the field of software and very few core company opportunities. 

The architecture course in KLU is good and maintains discipline. In terms of campus and infrastructure, KLU has a superior view. Vignan University, on the other hand, has an average campus. 

You must choose KLU as it is updated with the latest education policies and equipment. In the placement drive held in KLU in 2021, the results have been near perfect when it came to placing the students in companies and firms that are reputed, in turn, resulted in 100% placement.

A total of 65 students got placed and the highest package offered to the students was INR 7 LPA. The average package offered was 3.5 LPA. More than 60 companies visited the campus. TCS offered 267 jobs and Cognizant offered 121 jobs.

Which is the best for mechanical engineering, VIIT in Pune, VIT in Pune, or MIT Pune?

NS
Nikhil Srivastav Posted On : March 30th, 2022
lived in Pune, Maharashtra, India

Among these, VIT Pune is the best option for Mechanical Engineering. 

  • VIT Pune Mechanical branch is more than 20 years old. So, it had better exposure. This helps in better industry recognition, tie-ups. 
  • VIT offers better placements for the Mechanical branch. It offers more core placements compared to VIIT and MIT. According to the VIT Pune Mechanical Engineering placements of the last few years, the average CTC for the branch is 5-6 LPA. VIIT shares campus placement with VIT. But few companies visiting the placement drive don’t allow VIIT students to sit for placement.

VIT, VIIT, and MIT three of these colleges are autonomous, and they update their curriculum regularly. So, you can expect similar academics from all three of these institutes.

Which is the better choice for mechanical engineering, NIT Raipur or HBTU Kanpur?

AS
Arijit Sahai Posted On : April 15th, 2021
B.Tech. Chemical Engineering, Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur (2020)

Having talked to people at NIT Raipur and HBTU Kanpur, I have gathered reasons why students should opt for NIT Raipur instead of HBTU Kanpur for B.Tech. 

These are described below - 

  • NIT has a brand value as it has a renowned name and fame, which will benefit you in many ways.
  • There is a more competitive environment in NIT if compared to HTBU.
  • There are more technical, cultural, and sports events in NIT than HTBU which helps the student to develop their personality and intelligence.
  • NIT is a government-funded college so more funds are given to NITs, which help them to provide more facilities to the students like Advance labs and classes.
  • The alumni reach of NIT is more than HBTU.
  • The average placement of NIT Raipur is better than the HBTU. 
  • Students can avail 100% fee waiver if the students have low family income.

The table shows a brief overview of the institutions:

Particulars

NIT Raipur

HBTU Kanpur

Median Salary

Rs. 9.5 lakhs

Rs. 7.18 lakhs

Highest Salary

Rs. 33 lakhs

Rs. 60 lakhs

Entrance Criteria

JEE Mains

JEE Mains

Fees

Rs. 5.52 lakhs

Rs. 5.17 lakhs

Overall, NIT Raipur is the potential choice for B.Tech rather than HBTU Kanpur. Even students of HBTU also prefer NIT Raipur over their college.

What will be better, mechanical in MNIT Jaipur or IT at IIIT Lucknow with a 11803 rank in the JEE Main?

RB
Rohan Bose Posted On : June 25th, 2021
Studied at IIIT Allahabad (2019)

Having friends in both the colleges, I can say that MNIT Jaipur and IIIT Lucknow are equally good in their own ways. If you get a chance in any of these colleges, go for it.

Apart from getting admission in any one of either the only thing which would give you trouble is which field to choose? But, I would like to say that whatever field you choose, if you work hard and be honest with your studies you will land in a better place.

  • But answering your question with rank 11803 in the JEE Main; I would like to say that MNIT Jaipur is a much better college than IIIT Lucknow.
  • If you ask me, nowadays the trend and placement of MNIT Jaipur are on par. But, if you are really interested in CSE then definitely look for CSE or IT in well-established IIITs.
  • And with the rank of 11803, you might have a chance to get into old IIITs or TIER 2 NITs.

Categories

Mechanical in MNIT Jaipur

IT in IIIT Lucknow

Course Fee

6.56 lakh

9.81 lakh

Highest CTC

14-19 LPA

18-20 LPA

Average CTC

8-10 LPA

11 LPA

Recruiting Companies

Tata Motors, DE Shaw, Deloitte, JP Morgan, etc.

Accenture, Wipro, Infosys, Capgemini, etc.

And talking about IIIT Lucknow, Their campus just started functioning in 2020. Earlier IIIT Lucknow runs from IIIT Allahabad campus.

Further, getting a job in core trade is very difficult to go to IIIT Lucknow but do check the infrastructure and previous year placement record of IIIT otherwise join MNIT Jaipur in mechanical without any second thought.

BG
Bishnupriya Ghosh Posted On : July 7th, 2021
BE from Electrical Engineering in Birla Vishvakarma Mahavidyalaya Engineering College (2019)

One of my close friends graduated from BVM and my sister was in LD. Based on their reviews BVM is a way better option for mechanical engineers compared to LD Engineering College. The reason behind this is, it is one of the oldest colleges in Gujarat. Some more significant points which will make you drift towards BVM includes:

  • The faculty members in BVM are highly educated and cooperative.
  • The lab facilities at BVM are great. Much better than LD.
  • VV Nagar is the educational hub of Gujarat, hence it is the best place to focus on your studies.

Here are some details about the two colleges which might help you to make a precise decision:

Particulars Mechanical at BVM Mechanical at LD Engineering College
Fees (Total) 5.24 lakh 6,000
Highest Package Offered 12 LPA 8 LPA
Average Package Offered 3.1 LPA 4.5 LPA
Top Recruiters Infosys, Essar, TCS, L&T, etc. Harvey Associates, MG motors, Welspun, Reliance, etc.

Both the colleges are great, but It is suggested you go for BVM among the two. Because a good environment is necessary to concentrate on studies.

There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.

If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.

The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.
