Both Mechanical engineering and computer science engineering are two different fields of study so it’s difficult to select an institute over the other.
On the basis of NIRF (National institution ranking framework score) Rankings, IIT Bhubaneswar comes under the top 20 IITs in India. There are more than 15 faculty members for mechanical engineering and their syllabus emphasizes both the technical and communication teamwork. The school of mechanical sciences offers B.Tech in mechanical engineering, a dual degree (M.Tech- M.Tech) and M.Tech in mechanical system design and thermal sciences. Every year it also provides short-term courses, national and international conferences, workshops, project work, and many more extracurriculars. The laboratories are well equipped with 30 computational workstations and other facilities such as Material testing lab instrumentation lab etc. Moving on to placement, various reputed companies visit the campus to recruit students with an average salary package of 11.15 lakh per annum.
Whereas in NIT Andhra, there are less than 15 faculty members but the infrastructure is quite good. The laboratories for CSE are also pretty good which consist of Artificial intelligence lab, data analytics lab, and Enterprise app development lab. Top companies like Amazon, Wipro, Deloitte, etc. visit during campus placement and offers an average salary package up to 5.87 lakh per annum.
My brother recently got enrolled at NIT AP and as per his experience, the department's faculty is amiable and supportive. You'll face absolutely no issues with the theoretical part of the department.
Being a new institute, the students are visiting other local colleges for practicals and laboratories. Most of them visited NIT Warangal which gave them good exposure to ultra-modern infrastructure. Currently, there are only basic laboratories and construction is ongoing for the development of the same. The administrative authority is supportive and cooperative.
NIT AP is full of opportunities and the branch would yield better results if you choose to study in one of the top-5 NITs. You can be in touch with a student of the college, which will help you with an in-depth understanding.
