Which is better for B.Tech. mechanical at NIT Jalandhar or mechanical at NIT Rourkela overall

AT
Archana Tiwari Posted On : December 8th, 2022
B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated 2018)

My friend is an NIT Jalandhar pass out so I can speak about that only. She regretted getting admission into NIT Jalandhar. She faced some serious problems

  • Faculty: The professors were below average in their teaching methods. Most lacked the basic knowledge and just read out from books. Moreover, if you don’t win their favor you get fewer marks in assignments. This affects your overall CGPA.

  • Crowd: It will be hard to find a diverse crowd here as most of the students hail from Punjab itself. Even their language is common within the campus.

  • Placements: Talking specifically about Mechanical Engineering placements, the condition is pretty bad. The average package this year was INR 7.87 LPA while the highest CTC was just INR 8.4 LPA.

  • Hostels: The first and second-year hostels do not have Wi-Fi connections which is a major drawback. Hostels 3-7 are also averagely built. Mega Hostels have better facilities in comparison to other hostels at NIT Jalandhar.

These are some shortcomings of NIT Jalandhar which might affect your overall experience. You can research the same for NIT Rourkela and make a comparison. In case NIT Rourkela is even worse, then NIT Jalandhar is your last option.

Anindita Mukherjee Posted On : April 30th, 2021
Studied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2019)

The CSE department at PEC Chandigarh has a great faculty, well-established infrastructure, and excellent placements. Many of my friends have left NSIT for PEC. The environment is cordial and accepting in PEC. 

CSE like ECE and Electrical, attract software companies that provide students with immense options to choose from. Core companies also take part in PEC Chandigarh’s placement program.

Companies like Arcesium, Amazon, GS, SanDisk, etc. offered students a salary package of 34 LPA. Though very few students are offered an amount like this.

Which is better in every respect DTU IT, DTU SE, NSIT IT or MNNIT Allahabad CSE?

TA
Tithi Aggrawal Posted On : August 23rd, 2023
Lives in New Delhi

If I was in your place and had to choose between the aforementioned institutes, I would set my preference order as follows

NSIT IT >= DTU IT > DTU SE > MNNIT CSE

The reason I have placed NSIT and DTU in the first place is because of their location in the capital city. This opens multiple doors of opportunities and exposure that might not be available in other colleges. Also, the quality of students these colleges attract is top notch and you will end up befriending some of the most genius minds. 

However, if you are passionate about programming and CS, then choose IIIT Delhi because its curriculum and overall ambiance are CS oriented. The research culture and facilities here are unmatched and students conduct high-end research under the guidance of some great faculty.

Your last option should be MNNIT mainly because of its poor location.

Hope this helped you make a wise decision!

Which one is better: chemical engineering from University of Chandigarh or production and industrial engineering from PEC Chandigarh?

PB
Paras Batra Posted On : April 30th, 2021
B.Tech Production and Industrial Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2019)

The University of Chandigarh and Punjab Engineering College are equally good. It finally depends on you and what you are passionate about, as chemical engineering has a broader curriculum than IE. 

Students opting for Chemical Engineering can specialize in the fields of Heat Transfer, Fluid Mechanics, Polymer Science & Technology, Energy Management, Biochemical Engineering, Separation Processes, Reaction Engineering, Pulp and paper, and Environmental Engineering. 

Industrial Engineering is somewhat similar to Mechanical Engineering but not quite. Students will get to learn about manufacturing processes, manufacturing systems, systems engineering, IT, Networks, basic shop floor communications, and much more.

In the following table, you will get basic information about the colleges - 

Category

Chandigarh University (CE)

PEC (PIE)

Fees

INR 4.80 LPA

INR 3.46 LPA

Recruiters 

SABIC, Sinopec, ExxonMobil, Formosa Plastics, LyondellBasell Industries, DuPont, Bayer, Evonik Industries, Toray Industries

Trident, Maruti, JP Morgan, Loreal, Mu Sigma, Amazon, Exxon Mobil, Maruti Suzuki, Airbus, Hero Motocorp, Tata, L&T, Goldman Sachs, Maruti, McKenzie, Aakash IIT-JEE, ABB, ACC, Fiat, Sandisk, Eicher, Volvo, Minda, Reliance, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, IBM, SAP, MISYS, Chase

Highest CTC

INR 15 LPA

INR 9 LPA

Average CTC

INR 8.75 LPA 

INR 5 LPA 

Lowest CTC 

INR 3.6 LPA

INR 3.5 LPA

But the Production and Industrial Engineering Branch of Punjab Engineering College is better. It also gives lots of opportunities to students both in education and placement. Also, even if you go for chemical engineering, you will for IE.

Therefore, choosing Production and Industrial Engineering from Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh is a better option than Chemical Engineering of Chandigarh University, as it has more opportunities.

Sushmita Mondal Posted On : March 22nd, 2021
Studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee (2019)

According to my alumni connections from both the colleges, IIIT-Allahabad should be your priority for any degree in information technology. There should be no doubt if you are comparing with IIITM Gwalior. IIIT-Allahabad has an edge over IIITM Gwalior because of these two major reasons:

  • This institute has produced a well-known alumni network around the globe that too in a short span of time. So, choosing such an institute with a good academic, industrial and alumni record will definitely prove to be much helpful for you.
  • Also, IIIT-A has a better placement record than IIITM Gwalior which is often seen as a priority by many of you.

Categories

How good is Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering for a BE in mechanical engineering?

DK
Dinesh Kumar Posted On : September 23rd, 2021
Studied at Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering,Bangalore

Yes, Dayananda Sagar College of Engineering is good for Mechanical Engineering. Be it faculty, labs, department, infrastructure, branch, or any other aspect, the college is a perfect fit. 

The only disadvantage of DSCE Bangalore is that it doesn't provide any offers from core companies. The students of the mechanical branch end up getting a job in the IT sector. If any core job offers are available, these companies will only hire students in single digit. 

Companies like Accenture, Cognizant, Infosys, and Tech Mahindra hire students irrespective of the branches.

If a job in the IT sector suits you after graduating from the mechanical branch, then you can opt for Dayanand Sagar College for Engineering as it is the best college. It will furnish a job but in the IT sector.

B.Tech Information and Communications Technology & Electronics, Ganpat University (2020)

Ganpat University Mehsana offers a decent Megatronics course. As compared to other colleges in Gujarat, it has better labs and infrastructural facilities for the Mechanical and Mechatronics departments. 

But Ganpat University placement scenario is not that good. There is almost little to no placement for the Mechatronics branch. Although many companies come to the institute for placements, most prefer Mechanical students over Mechatronics students.
