How good is the Mechanical Dept. at Haldia Institute of Technology?
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology has established a nice reputation for itself over the past few years.
- The professors and other members of the faculty for the mechanical engineering department are experienced.
- The department also has good facilities for the laboratories.
- The teaching methodologies are considered to be above average by a majority of students enrolled in mechanical engineering courses.
- The only shortcoming of Mechanical Engineering at Haldia is on-campus placement drives. Very few core companies visit the campus to recruit students almost every year.
- In case you want to be recruited by a reputed core company after graduation then you must maintain a good academic record from the first semester itself.
Following table is a brief description of the course:
| Categories | Mechanical Engineering at Haldia Institute of Technology |
| Course Fee | 3.95 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 6 LPA |
| Average CTC | 3.2 LPA |

Some rules for the recruitment drives have been established according to which only the top students based on their CGPA score would be eligible to appear for the selection rounds of core companies. These rules to shortlist the top candidates are usually set up by the corporations visiting the campus for recruitment of students. The options for off-campus recruitment would always be available for you. You can always prepare and apply for job roles via off-campus recruitment of core companies.
I'm about to pursue my B.Tech from MSIT (CSE). I've heard that people in IPU don't get time to pursue other stuff like programming and other hobbies. Is it true?
One of my friends is a final year student at MAIT - IT. And here is some statistics provided by him, which I think will clear your doubts.
- Several students from MSIT, more than even a 100, are seen to regularly participate in online coding contests. You check on Codechef to find out the ratings, participants, and various similar information. Apart from that, students actively participate in various other platforms like TopCoder, SPOJ, Codeforce, HackerRank, and more. MAIT has many great programmers.
- You will encounter many such individuals on campus who are preparing for examinations like GRE, GATE, CAT, and more.
- The same students are also involved in several clubs and societies, besides initiating blueprints of their own startup. This is despite managing above 80% academically.
- Students also engage in sports like football, cricket, badminton, and various others.
You can have hobbies and maintain your academic profile side by side. It depends on whether or not you are interested in accomplishing it.
Is it worth joining KLE Technological University?
Yes, it is worth joining the KLE Technological University. One of my friends graduated from KLETECH and here are some snippets of his experience at the institute.
- College Management - The staff in the administration especially the vice-chancellor, has great aspirations. They are trying to introduce new education methods like flipped classrooms, practical learning, industry-collaborated projects.
- Faculty - The faculties are very cooperative. They try to finish the syllabus in time.
- Atmosphere - The college atmosphere encourages you to pursue whatever you want. If you want to start a company you can take the help of CTIE. If you have a start-up plan, you can take help from startup street.
- Students - Fellow students are friendly with almost no raggings. Girls-Boys interaction is a bit less.
Placements - The placement percent is increasing every year for CSE, ECE, and EEE but the Mechanical branch is struggling a bit because of the less market demand.
- Top recruiters are Accenture, Infosys, TCS, Hexaware, Mindtree, Wipro, EVRY, DCX Technologies, etc. The top roles offered are developer, programmer, cybersecurity, etc.
- Vikas classes are of great help to the students in terms of placements but effective only in the 6th sem.

I left aerospace engineering at IIEST and joined Heritage Institute of Technology, Kolkata with Electronics and communication engineering a year later. Was it the right decision?
Well, I cannot say whether the decision you took is right or wrong because if you have taken the decision you have given certain thought and time into it.
Very few have the guts to leave a premier institute like IIEST and join Heritage. If you changed institute because you wanted to change your branch there but you couldn’t, then you made the right choice.
If you’re interested in higher studies after B.Tech then Heritage does offer good opportunities. ECE has huge scopes. Coming to Heritage, ECE faculty and labs are very good, the teachers will guide you in the best possible way to help you pursue your dreams. One of my friends left civil at NIT, Durgapur for ECE here. Heritage has a decent placement record. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered is 4 LPA.
If you’re interested in higher studies, then choosing the branch you are passionate about is always a better option than choosing a good institute.
Which is a better choice, CSE at CGC LANDRAN or CCET Chandigarh?
There are a plethora of parameters based on which one can decide which college is better than the other. But at the same time, your choices and your priorities also matter to decide which college you will opt for. You might not get all the fulfillments in the college checklist but you can set your priorities. Coming onto the question, if you are willing to decide among CGC Landran and CCET Chandigarh, you are comparing two very different colleges.
Let’s decide based on different criteria:
Placement: If you are one among the students to whom the ultimate goal is to get into a reputed company after Engineering, CGC Landran will be the right choice. You know why? Go through the placement records given below:
|
Placement Stats |
CGC Landran |
CCET Chandigarh |
|
Highest Package |
35 Lakhs |
12 Lakhs |
|
Average Package |
7 Lakhs |
4.07 Lakhs |
The placement stats of CGC Landran is way better than CCET Chandigarh.
If you want the stamp of Panjab University on your degree, then you can opt for CCET Chandigarh. Although, CCET will not provide you with any extra benefits/royalties like Panjab University. Instead of CCET, UIET is a better choice.
From the study point of view, there is not much difference between these two colleges.
Should I go to IIIT Bhagalpur (Bihar) for CSE considering that it is being mentored by IIT Guwahati?
If you are considering IIIT Bhagalpur as a new college, it is important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of attending a newly established institution. On the other hand, IIT Guwahati has a well-established reputation as one of the premier IITs in the country. Here are some things to keep in mind:
- IIIT Bhagalpur is a new college: As a new college, IIIT Bhagalpur may face some difficulties in establishing itself and proving its worth as a good college. It may take some time for the college to build its reputation and for its students to benefit from the resources and facilities that come with a well-established institution.
- IIT Guwahati is a premier institution: As one of the premier IITs in the country, IIT Guwahati has a well-established reputation and a long history of producing successful engineers. The college is known for its high-quality faculty, excellent infrastructure, and strong alumni network.
- Funding can make a difference: Both IIIT Bhagalpur and IIT Guwahati receive funds from the government and other sources. However, IIT Guwahati may be able to make more significant changes to its infrastructure and facilities due to the larger amount of funding it receives as an established institution.
- IIT Guwahati has a bright future: Given its reputation and the funding it receives, it is likely that IIT Guwahati will continue to improve and maintain its position as one of the top engineering institutes in the country. Choosing to attend IIT Guwahati may provide you with access to top-notch faculty, resources, and placement opportunities.
In conclusion, while IIIT Bhagalpur may have potential as a new college, it is important to weigh the risks and benefits of attending a newly established institution. If you are looking for a well-established institution with a strong reputation, then IIT Guwahati may be a better choice. The college's history of producing successful engineers and strong funding may provide you with a better overall educational experience and greater career opportunities.
What is the scope of Mechanical Engineering in Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai?
One of my close friends attends Thisgarajar College of Engineering, Madurai, and here is her insight into the Mechanical Engineering branch.
- Despite the college being government-aided, the faculty is stellar with really good experience. All of them either have a Ph.D. or are pursuing one.
- The department has also collaborated with TVS and the courses are now being restructured as per industry requirements. TVS starts monitoring students in the first year so that by the 4th year, they are ready to work there.
- The labs are also fully well equipped with instruments like UTM, injection molding machines, and CNCs.
- The alumni network is also quite strong. There are frequent get-togethers and meetings held at the department.
- The teachers are also well renowned nationally in their fields of work. You will also receive support for higher education from the college for pursuing MS, ME, Ph.D., MBA, etc.
- Despite the geographical drawbacks, the college has many top companies visiting for placements. But, due to the lack of mechanical industries around the college, securing an internship or work experience may prove to be difficult for you.
- The courses offered might be a little restricted. Due to this, it might prove a little hard for you to secure a specialization in a specific field.
- There are also only 120 students per batch of mechanical engineering admitted to the college. Because of this, it is quite tough to find like-minded people who share your interests and would like to work with you.
Thus, despite being a good college, every place has its pros and cons. In the end, it boils down to your interests and if the course curriculum fits your requirements.
