National Institute of Technology, Srinagar

NIT, Srinagar has been ranked 67 by NIRF,2020. The Mechanical Engineering department of the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Srinagar offers full-time BTech and MTech courses.

The faculty of the department is experienced and well-qualified. A lot of emphases is laid upon practical exposure and internships. Students are taken on industrial visits. Projects are given for a better theoretical understanding.

Students also get pre-placement training to get ready for the placement drive at the institute. Students are encouraged to get internships as it increases their chance to get good jobs compared to students who don’t pursue an internship.

Placements:

  • Some students get paid internships while others work in unpaid settings. Companies like DRDO, IISC, NPTC hire students for internships stating that if students do well during their interning period, they would be offered a job once the internship period is over.

  • Placement opportunities are average. Although many good companies visit the campus to hire students only a few companies are from the core Mechanical sector.

  • The average salary offered is 6.5 LPA. Companies like ABB, L&T, Maruti Suzuki, Indian Oil, AFCON infra, IISC Bangalore, NPTC, etc.

  • Students who do not get placed on campus apply for jobs off-campus.

  • Compared to other branches like CSE or IT, Mechanical engineering has a lower placement average of around 70%.

  • The highest salary offered is around 19 lakhs per annum.

The only drawback is that on-campus core- sector jobs are less. Searching and applying for jobs outside is always an option. Many students apply for jobs themselves and do get those jobs.

Which is best, ECE at NIT Srinagar or CS in HBTI Kanpur?

AD
Arushi Debnath Posted On : April 19th, 2021
B.Tech Chemical Engineering & Paint Technology, Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur (2021)

Considering this question, the first criteria are always the student’s preferences. According to that, they should choose the colleges, either NIT Srinagar or HBTI Kanpur.

NIT Srinagar is a reputed institute; additionally, HBTU is also an ancient and esteemed institute. The new Vice-Chancellor of the second one is completely dedicated to institutional development, and the institute is developing radically over the past few years.

Besides, if you consider the placement facts, then CSE is just edged that ECE regarding the CTC. But, ECE also has several opportunities in both Government and private sectors. It is also quite close considering the placements facts to CSE because IT companies also allow ECE students to sit in the recruitment process.

In the following, a brief overview has been given considering the placement facts of these two institutes.

Criteria

Another important thing that you may consider is that location is which institute is nearer to your home.

So, it can be concluded that both of these institutes are equally good. One of my friends was a former student of HBTU, so he was quite partial to his institute, as he studied there, so he knew better.

From the year 2018, to get admission to HBTU, the student has to qualify 12th standard board exam from UP, or their parents must belong to the UP domicile.

Which is best for mechanical engineering, Nirma University or NIT Srinagar or North East NITs?

GS
Gargi Sengupta Posted On : July 6th, 2021
B.Tech Civil Engineering, Institute Of Technology, Nirma University (2020)

NIT Srinagar is the best option among the ones mentioned in the question. But living in Srinagar is challenging. If you can deal with frequent disruption and non-functionality of the institute then you can choose NIT Srinagar.

Nirma University can be a good alternative too. It is one of the best engineering colleges in Gujarat as well as India. As it is located on the Gandhinagar-Ahmedabad highway, many reputed MNCs visit the campus. Nirma has a 120-acre campus. It offers good infrastructure. Their placement record is also quite impressive. Almost 90% of students get placed in reputed companies. The only disadvantage of choosing Nirma is that they don’t offer a hostel.

In North-East, you can go with Agartala or Silchar.

How is the scope (placement and package) for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar?

SG
Sheetal Gaur Posted On : September 19th, 2023
Studied at NIT Srinagar (2020)

I have to admit that the placement opportunities are not very satisfying and the packages offered are quite average.

Previous placement statistics reveal that the scope for chemical engineering at NIT Srinagar is not very satisfying. Last year 53 students enrolled for placements in the Department of Chemical Engineering, and 15 of them, or 28% of the total, were placed in key businesses including IOCL, GAIL, BARC, SAIL, etc. The average compensation package is 8 LPA, and the highest salary package is 10 LPA. Chemical engineering students were hired by analytics firms like ZS Associates, Vedanta, and others for an average pay package of 9 LPA.

Finding a job after completing a B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering at NIT Srinagar can be a daunting task for many students. According to statistics, only a small percentage of students, around 9-10%, can secure a job right away. However, for those who do not find immediate employment, there is a viable option to consider. Preparing for and passing the GATE examination can open doors to better job opportunities and pave the way for future career growth.

The CS branch of Thapar University has much better ranking placements, and faculty as compared to NIT Srinagar.

  • Academic excellence: Thapar University has ranked 20 among the top engineering colleges of India according to the NIRF report 2023. This proves its academic excellence in terms of study, faculty, infrastructural ability, and placement as well.
  • Faculty: The students will get an opportunity to learn under the guidance of highly educated and experienced faculties in their respective fields with an extensive understanding of the industry.
