Surely, Metallurgy at PEC over Mechanical in UIET. There are various important reasons behind this: Placements in PEC are better, companies like Google, Amazon, Microsoft, etc. visit campus for placements.

Though metallurgy has fewer placements than other branches in PEC, once you are in PEC and if you are focused enough, you can go for an upgrade after 1st semester on the basis of CGPA. To aim for it, keep the following things in mind -

• At most, only the top 10% of the class can be upgraded.
• The branch you want to be upgraded to will only be available if it has vacant seats.

PEC is far superior to UIET in terms of cultural and other extracurricular activities. If you don't have any branch priorities, I'd recommend metallurgy in PEC.

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.

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. 

Opt for any of these branches only if you are really interested in either of these branches or if you have plans of pursuing post-graduation in either of the subjects.

The reason behind this lies in whether you will be treating your technical graduation degree just as a simple graduation degree or are you really looking for it. If it is just going to be a simple graduation degree just like in campus placements, government job preparations, MBA entrance preparations, GRE preparations, etc., then it is not worth going for, because there is too much work in these branches.

If this is the case, choose any of the branches from CSE, IT, EI, and Civil Engineering. It will help you in saving a lot of time and hence, prepare well for entrances. Also, you can fully enjoy your college life.

One of my relatives pursued his graduation from the Coimbatore Institute of Technology. As per his experience, Mechanical Engineering will be a good option at CIT. Here are the following reasons why you should choose the Coimbatore Institute of Technology over PSG College of Technology.

Faculty: 

• The faculty of Coimbatore Institute of Technology is friendly, professional, and skilled.
• Many of its professors work in organizations like DRDO.

Infrastructure: 

• PSG College of Technology provides better infrastructure than Coimbatore, but there are many facilities available in CIT as well. 
• Coimbatore Institute of Technology provides good lab equipment and arrange workshops for engineering students. Workshops are very important to gain ample opportunity, which will boost your career.

Campus Life:

• The campus life of CIT is better. It provides a friendly environment for students. 
• However, the hostel and its food quality are low, but you will get used to it. 

Placement: 

• The placement cell of Coimbatore Institute of Technology is good. Companies such as L&T, Nissan, Renault, Hyundai, Godrej, Robert Bosch, and many more come for campus placement. 

The table below shows the placement statistics of both institutions:

Thus, choosing Mechanical Engineering over Automobile Engineering is always a better idea as it opens a wide range of opportunities before you. And Coimbatore Institute of Technology is the right choice for Mechanical Engineering.

NIT Arunachal Pradesh is among the top 200 engineering colleges in the country according to the NIRF Ranking of 2020. Ujjain Engineering College is an AICTE approved autonomous institute. Listed below are a few aspects to analyze both institutes:

NIT Arunachal Pradesh, Biotechnology:

Admission-

• Students are accepted for admission based on the JEE Main score and the prerequisite for the program is at least 75% in 10+2 academics.

• The closing cut-off ranking for the biotechnology program at NIT Arunachal Pradesh was 44,563 in 2019.

• The first year fee of the course is 2.2 Lakhs. However, students can also avail scholarships and other fee waivers.

Placements-

• The highest and average salary of the students at this campus is 11.68 LPA and 4.2 LPA respectively.

• The companies visiting the campus for the placement drive are Wipro, Research laboratories, Pharmaceutical companies, Intel, Infosys, Hyundai, Havells, NOKIA, Polaris, Ashok Leyland, Yodlee, Asahi India Glass, and many more.

Ujjain Engineering College, Mechanical engineering:

Admission-

• Like NIT Arunachal Pradesh, Ujjain Engineering college also accepts students based on the intermediate and 10+2 marks.

• The final selection is based on the performance of the students in JEE Main.

• The closing cut-off ranking of the home state and other states for Mechanical Engineering in 2019 was 140822 and 123322 respectively.

• The fee for this course is 99,404.

Placements-

• The highest and average salaries received by the students are 10 LPA and 3.5 LPA respectively.

• The companies visiting the campus are Uttam Galva Steel, Wipro, Intel, Infosys, Lupin, Yash Technologies, BYJU’S, TCS, and many more.

Biotechnology and Mechanical Engineering are two completely different subjects. You should choose the subject you are more passionate about and the institute according to that.

The average package for a mechanical engineering batch of 2019 was 7 LPA. A friend of mine considered the amount a good return on Investment and recommended BIT Mesra. In the 2019 placement season, about 63 mechanical engineering students bagged jobs in the campus recruitment program. 

Here is an overview of the average pay scale of the last 3 years:

Some of the top companies that visit the campus for recruitment include Caterpillar, Eicher Motors Ltd., Maruti Suzuki Ltd., Hero MotoCorp., Metalsa, Hindustan Motors, Suzuki Powertrain Ltd., Hyundai Motors, John Deere India (P) Ltd., Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd., TVS Motor Co, Larsen & Toubro Ltd., Blue Star, NRB Bearing, BPCL, NTPC, Crompton Greaves Ltd., Cummins India, Simplex Infrastructures, DVC, Tata Consulting Engineers Ltd., Electrosteel Castings Ltd, Essar Ltd., Tata Honeywell, Exide Industries, Tata Steel, etc.
