How is IIT Kanpur mechanical?
Mechanical at IIT Kanpur is a very poorly managed branch and I am strongly against anyone joining it. Here’s why
- There are excessively monotonous compulsory courses
- The academics lack flexibility in terms of choice, of course,
- The professors lack empathy and teach just for the sake of it with no real passion. They hardly motivate and praise you.
- The placements scenario of Mechanical at IIT Kanpur is equally haywire with only a handful of companies like ITC and HUL offering mediocre packages
- Most of the students have to resort to programming or other CS concepts to make themselves employable and secure good packages
- Top CS companies don’t even open roles for Mechanical students.
- The program is lacking in terms of research as well and is not interesting at all
A few options better than ME IIT Kanpur are
- BS in Mathematics and Computing
- Electrical Engineering or CS in a newer IIT
- Branch change to EE or CSE which is actually very difficult.
- A double major in CSE, which requires an excellent CPI at the end of the second year.
All in all, I will strongly condemn you for choosing ME IIT Kanpur. Let’s hope for some revision in the program in the future.
How is the mechanical engineering department in IIEST, Shibpur as compared to departments like EE and ETC (placement & research wise)?

What is the average package in nit raipur mechanical engineering?
As a student of Mechanical at NIT Raipur, I am sharing important placement details for this branch with you-
The average package offered to Mechanical branch last year was INR 7.56 LPA. The package offered varies according to the company which accepts you.
- Core Jobs-
- In the core sector, Automobile companies like Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Tata Motors, and FIAT offer decent packages between 5.5–6 LPA.
- Companies like Vedanta Resources Plc offer higher packages than these automobile brands. But a large part of that amount is variable pay which depends on the performance of the individual and the company. In the end, the in-hand salary turns out to be equal or even less than the automobile brands.
- PSUs like Coal India Ltd, BPCL and HPCL offer really good packages of 10-12 LPA. But you can’t rely on them. BPCL and HPCL strictly allow a handful of branch toppers to appear for placements. On the other hand, Coal India Ltd. doesn’t have vacancies for mechanical engineers each year.
- Non Core Jobs- Some software firms as well as analytics companies are open to all engineering branches. But they offer very low packages, around 3.5 to 5 LPA.
Mechanical Engineers earn comparatively less than CS/IT students. However, this branch offers more job security. Based on this data, you can figure out the current state of placements for Mechanical at NIT Raipur.
