Honestly, a true coding lover needs not to worry too much about placements. They should just be good in what they do and certainly, an opportunity will come their way.
Let’s explain this through an example of a friend who was a graduate of Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur, and is currently in Amazon as a Software Development Engineer.
Owing to his Industrial Background, he faced backlash initially and couldn’t sit for placements in big companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. He then came across a startup company - BankBazaar that visited the campus on the 2nd day of placements and also had a coding test. He passed the test with flying Colors and
for the first offer during that placement season.
Ever since then, he started receiving calls from top companies like Amazon, Google, Walmart Labs, etc. He soon joined Amazon and worked for a few years. Recently, he got a call from Goldman Sachs HR for the Goldman Sachs, Strategic Group. This came as a surprise since this company only prefers toppers from IITs and IIMs. It was his dream job to make mathematical models and program them. Fortunately, all his interviews went pretty well and in the end, he was introduced to the Managing Director of the Finance Division, at Goldman Sachs. who conducted a discussion on the projects he would be working on.
After experiencing almost 3 years in the Software Industry, my friend only advised coding lovers to focus solely on their passions and let the world find them.

As a Mechanical Engineering student at NIT Durgapur, I am listing down some important points about my branch-
As per my personal experience, you can definitely consider B.Tech Mechanical from NIT Durgapur.
I have friends in both the colleges DTU and IIIT Delhi so I can give you a comparative analysis of these colleges
The choice between the two is a matter of personal goals and inclinations.
The Department of Instrumentation and Control Engineering at NIT Trichy has fifteen permanent faculty members with teaching and research interests that cover a broad range of fields.

Manipal University is highly known for its multinational facilities and the modern campus. The University is spread over 313 acres of the land, also the campus being the prime reason for the selection of Manipal University by various students.
Manipal University consists of various centers under the Manipal University of Higher Education offering innovative and entrepreneurship related opportunities to the students with rankings and recognitions from highly reputed organizations in the industry.
Your possibilities of a switch mainly depend on the number of vacant seats in the desired branch, and the merit of all those aiming for that same branch.
But roughly, for Mechanical you need a score of 9.3 CGPA+ during your first year. On the other hand, for Chemical, you need 8.5 CGPA+.
If you pay attention in the classroom, solve class assignments on time, and your concepts are clear, you can easily score well in your first year. The student notice board on the official college website releases the cutoffs for branch switch each year.
This is the basic information regarding branch switch to Chemical/ Mechanical at VNIT. Branch switch at VNIT Nagpur isn’t difficult given that you work hard, and things work in your favor.
If you are looking for monetary statistics, you are in the wrong place. IIT Kanpur does not release branch-wise placement statistics.
Packages hardly depend on the branch. Your performance throughout the 4 years and your small and big achievements determine the kind of packages you are offered.
Infact, even a CS student shouldn’t expect great packages if his grades are below average and he has not worked hard and gained knowledge and skills. Even Sundar Puchar was a metallurgy BTech student but today is the CEO of Google.
The conclusion is that your branch does not determine your package, your grades do.
The mechanical department of BITS Hyderabad has its own advantages and disadvantages. These are-
Advantages-
Disadvantages-
I would recommend you choose Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad only if you are interested in a research career. This is not the best option for on campus placement.
The placement scenario of the Mechanical branch of NIT Rourkela is great. Many core companies like Tata Steel, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Maruti - Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra visit the campus to recruit talented students as Graduate engineer Trainees.
A few PSUs also visit NIT Rourkela to recruit students from one of the best NITs in the country. For instance, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) visited the institute and recruited 4 Mechanical Engineering students. The core companies offer average packages of around INR 8 LPA.
Most students have to go for Analytics, Consultancy, and IT sectors due to limited opportunities in the Mechanical branch. Companies like TCS, Mu Sigma, Infosys, etc recruit such students.
Overall, the placement scenario of ME at NIT Rourkela might not be excellent but it is quite satisfactory.
