Mechanical engineering is not good in PSIT Kanpur. You will regret your decision of taking admission there. Following are the reasons why you should not join PSIT Kanpur

• PSIT Kanpur has very strict rules and regulations and parents have to pay a fine for everything.
• 90% attendance is compulsory, CCTV cameras are installed inside all the classrooms. 
• You cannot even sit and study in the library if you have some boring lectures going on. 
• You will not gain any knowledge even after spending 4 precious years.
• PSIT Kanpur lacks a competitive environment for GATE, CAT, etc. If a student wishes to prepare for any competition exam, the college rules are so strict that there will be no time left for your preparation

Here’s presenting some facts about Mechanical Engineering at PSIT Kanpur -

One of my friends qualified GATE with a respectable score that will lead him to do masters from IIT Bombay but believe me PSIT has no role in this. I even believe that if he would have done B.Tech from any other college then he would have got a better score in my final year.

Therefore whoever is planning to take admission in PSIT. I will suggest you not to take admission here.

Among the above two institutes, for students interested specifically in computer science, JMI CSE should be a better option. But, students having no specific preference in streams should consider Mechanical at DTU. 

The table below gives a brief level of comparison among the two departments of the institutes.

Key Highlights:

• As discussed above, students interested in Computer Science and IT should take JMI CSE, which generally has some decent opportunities. The top 7% of the batch gets more than 7 LPA package salary in JMI CSE.
• Students having no specific preference can choose DTU Mechanical, which provides a large amount of exposure inside the campus, along with several good opportunities during and after the course.
• Students at DTU Mechanical usually get a 7.5+ LPA package offer in some of the best companies working in the core mechanical sector. The course of DTU Mechanical is considered to be one of the best in India.
• JMI has much lesser fees than DTU, which makes it a lot of a more preferred option. For students successful in getting a decent placement offer at JMI, it provides a much better return on investment than DTU.

Considering all the above factors, both the institutes have their own set of advantages and are worth considering.

Both of the institutions are situated at a distance of 80 km from each other. IET Lucknow is situated in the industrial capital of Uttar Pradesh and the HBTI Kanpur is situated in the Political capital. If you live in one of the two cities, you can choose accordingly; otherwise, this factor has no significance.

1. According to AKTU, both the institutes are ranked at number 1 and number 2 in UP, but the situation is completely different analytically. HBTI is a well-known institution and has been the parent institute of IIT Kanpur and Uttar Pradesh Textile Institute. 
2. Both the institutes are government-run with complete control over examinations and the curriculum of courses offered by them.
3. If you enjoy programming, Computer Science would be the appropriate course for you, while Mechanical Engineering is for those who want to acquire a genuine sense of what engineering is all about.
4. The faculty of IET Lucknow is better than that of HBTI. 
5. You will have numerous opportunities outside the campus. The placement statistics for the mechanical department are not very good at both institutes, but placement in the CS department is extremely good.

Make your decision based on the branch and not the institution as it would have a major impact on your career. 

IEM Kolkata is a very prestigious private college in West Bengal and it is basically known for some of its branches such as Computer science, Information Technology and Electronics, and Communication engineering. 

Mechanical at IEM:

• Few new branches including Mechanical introduced in the institution that has been added in the recent year.
• The students do not have much of a college life. There are not any extracurricular activities.
• There are only a handful of supportive faculties in these branches.
• There are no proper classrooms, labs for the mechanical branch. The Mechanical engineering department is situated on the Management campus.
• The students are made to follow some irrelevant rules and attend classes and seminars that have nothing to do with their future goals.
• The course curriculum is not industry-oriented. 
• In placements, students are mostly placed in IT companies.
• You won’t get much assistance for GATE preparation here too. Faculties are not very supportive and focus more on attendance.
• Although, students of the Mechanical branch at IEM are doing a good job in student chapters like IEEE, ISHARE, etc. 

The college is good for other branches but for mechanical, you should look for other options.
