I'm getting a seat at NIT Jalandhar in production engineering. What is the scope of the branch in India? Which master's should I choose: an MBA or an MTech?
Scope of Industrial and Production Engineering is good at NIT Jalandhar. But you will be offered less salary in comparison to Mechanical Engineering.
But if you go for a non-core job, the salaries offered might be above average.
Between M.Tech and MBA, I will recommend you go for MBA. This is because M.Tech placements are very low and very little scope is there.
Choosing MBA will get you the following benefits:
-
Better salary than M.Tech.
-
The curriculum for IPE is easier so you can also prepare for CAT alongside
-
The faculty is extremely supportive
-
The syllabus of IPE and MBA is somewhat similar so it becomes easy for you
People choose M.Tech thinking its a bit similar to IPE. But in reality IPE has a practical and managerial subjects whereas M.Tech has more technical subjects. So don’t get confused and just go for IPE.
Should I take production engineering at MNNIT Allahabad or mechanical engineering at NIT Jalandhar?
Mechanical is an option at NIT Jalandhar.
Although MNNIT Allahabad has a better brand name than NIT Jalandhar, the production branch has many disadvantages when compared to the mechanical branch.
Unless someone specifically mentions Production Engineering, you will have to compete with mechanical students at NIT Allahabad during placements and off-campus interviews. When compared to Mechanical, there are fewer job opportunities.
There may now be one or two PSUs with separate vacancies for Production students. Mechanical paper is required in order to obtain PSUs, which are extremely difficult to crack. GATE is very important for core branches, and Mechanical has a high level of competition compared to other branches. Only if you intend to change your branch after one year should you enroll in NIT Allahabad; otherwise, do not.
What should be the preference order in NIT Jamshedpur Metallurgy, Civil, production for JoSAA Counseling?
One of my friends chose ProductionCivil and Metallurgy at NIT Jamshedpur. Honestly, the preference may vary from person to person depending on their career prospects and inclinations. However, I can certainly guide you to decide the right one
- If you are a Physics or Maths guy who wants to study Mechanical or is planning to pursue an MBA later then the right choice for you is Production Engineering
- If you are interested in Chemistry and want to pursue a research-based career in or outside India then go for Metallurgy.
- If you want to land a decent government job or prepare for UPSC, then Civil is the right option for you.
So the preference order in my opinion is Production>Metallurgy>Civil. Ultimately it’s your own preferences that will determine the choice.
Which college will be better for me, NIT Trichy (production engineering) or NIT Jalandhar (CS, IT)?
Comparing the two NITs we know NIT Trichy has a better ranking than NIT Jalandhar. It also holds a stronger brand name. Unless you are extremely interested in Software, I suggest Production Engineering is a better choice. Some points to prove my opinion are:
-
NIT Trichy ranks in the top 15 engineering institutes in the country from a placement perspective.
-
More companies visit for campus placements like Amazon, Microsoft, Flipkart, and Cisco.
-
NIT Trichy has an upper hand in faculty, infrastructure, competitive environment, peers, resources, curriculum, labs, and alumni network.
-
Many finances, banking, consulting, etc. based roles are offered at NIT Trichy and these opportunities are considerably low at mid-level NITs such as NIT Jalandhar.
-
Post Graduation, if you wish to switch sectors then the brand name of NIT Trichy will help you along the way.
So don't lose a much stronger brand simply because of a simple stream issue. Years down the line, your credibility will be determined by the brand of NIT Trichy solely and not by production engineering at NIT Trichy.
What should I choose NIT Allahabad production, NIT Bhopal chemical or NIT Raipur electrical?
Irrespective of whichever branch you are getting the preference order for the aforementioned NITs is NIT A > NIT B > NIT R.
However, your interest plays a big role in determining the right branch for you. Some choose a branch they are genuinely interested in while some go for a branch that provides better opportunities.
In the first case, their passion leads them in their career while in the second case, the plethora of opportunities will be the guiding light. Students are in general confused about choosing a good college over a good branch or vice versa. I will advise you to always prioritize your interests in that case because you will have to pursue that field not just for 4 years of graduation but throughout life.
Here is a brief overview of these colleges:
