If you are extremely desperate for a job, you should switch domains instead. 6 years is a long time for one to realize that their domain did not offer them any good opportunities. 

Firstly, give up the idea of core jobs and open yourself to IT, the most demanded discipline right now.

For those who have basic knowledge of coding, things will become a tad bit easier. But if you are new to the coding world, don’t worry, you will be able to cope well. Start with learning one programming language preferably JAVA. After gaining a certain level of knowledge, appear for either of these exams

  • AMCAT - Easy evaluation with a plethora of noncore-opportunities from mediocre to average package
  • Elitmus - Quality assessment, a bit challenging for beginners but opens doors for high-paying jobs at MNCs. Additionally, your IIT tag will help.

Based on your inclination and level of preparation choose anyone one of these 2 exams and wait for excellent job opportunities.

If you are still adamant about Mechanical, ask any of your friends who work in a reputed firm to drop your resume or refer you for internships that can be later converted to full-time jobs.

What is the average package for mechanical engineering at VSSUT Burla?

SS
Savi Sharma Posted On : October 12th, 2023

Usually, mechanical engineering students in VSSUT get placed in software companies. Around 10% of students get into Core Jobs with an average package of INR 5.5-6 Lakhs and the rest 60-70% get Software Jobs with an average package of around INR 3.2-.3.5 LPA. The reason it’s the average package is not at or with NITS and IITs or colleges is because of its poor location. Nevertheless, VSSUT is known to produce talented graduates.

In 2022, BTech Mechanical Engineering students of VSSUT received 80 offers and the highest package stood at INR 7.6 LPA.

Hope this helps you.

How are the placements in VIT Pune (mechanical)?

DB
Devesh Bhatt Posted On : October 17th, 2023
Vishwakarma Institute of Technology

I will shed some light on the placements for B.Tech Mechanical at VIT Pune-

The placement figures aren’t very promising. 26.4% students were placed from B.Tech Mechanical 2022. Many students aren’t eligible for the placements due to backlogs or low CGPA. Some companies require a minimum of 60-65% in 10th, 12th and graduation. 

Many don’t opt for placements. Instead, they prepare for UPSC or opt for higher studies.These factors contribute to the low placement percentage. The average package stands at around 4-5 LPA. During 2022 placements, the highest package was INR 9LPA, and the average package was INR 4.77 LPA.

The companies mostly come seeking sales engineers, very few come for design engineers. Some offer different profiles in a production plant.

For B.Tech Mechanical, VIT Pune is the next best option after COEP/VJTI. However, the placement figures aren’t very promising.

Which is better, manit bhopal chemical or sgsits indore mechanical?

Sabeer Chalana Posted On : November 11th, 2023

First of all, your field of interest matters the most. If you are interested in Chemical, opt for MANIT Bhopal. But if you are inclined towards Mechanical, opt for SGSITS Indore. 

MANIT will offer you the prestigious NIT tag. But as a student of SGSITS, I would like to highlight some advantages of joining Mechanical at my college-

  1. Prithampura is the industrial hub of Indore. It has many industries, where you’ll easily get a job as an SGSITS student. Most of these industries visit the campus for placements as well.
  1. SGSITS is located at the heart of Indore city. So you can easily access coaching centers for UPSC, GATE, CAT, etc. These coaching centers are located very close to the campus. The students of our college perform really well in all these competitive exams. 

Based on the limited information provided by me, I hope you get a rough idea on which path will be best for you.

Can I leave engineering mechanics as an exception in the JNTUH R16?

HJ
Hirdekh Jain Posted On : August 3rd, 2023
Studied at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad (2016)

As per the Academic Regulations R16 of JNTUH, once you have secured 192 credits you can leave 02 courses (06 credits). These might be

  • one open elective and one professional elective subject 
  • two professional elective subjects for optional dropout, 

As a result, you will have a total of 186 credits for your performance evaluation. Only these 186 credits will be taken into consideration for the calculation of your CGPA and the same will be mentioned in your grade card.

However, it’s important to note that you have to secure all 192 credits. The option of leaving 2 subjects is just to improve your CGPA. 

From the above information, it can be concluded that you cannot be exempted from the Engineering Mechanics course because it is one of the Foundation courses of Engineering and not an elective.
