Which college should I select for mechanical engineering, Christ University or PES Electronic City campus?
I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical student at Christ University Bangalore. I do not know much about PES Electronic City campus, but I can give some insight into my own university.
I was suggested to join Christ University for my engineering studies by my elder sister. She has some friends at the time who were also pursuing their B.Tech from Christ.
I selected Christ for engineering studies because-
- It follows a good curriculum with a decent grading system.
- The faculty is experienced and good at teaching.
- Christ offers good facilities to students. The university library is huge, and it has a vast collection of books related to engineering studies.
- The campus environment is good, there are sports facilities, and the campus also has a swimming pool.
- According to 2024 placement figures, B.Tech has received the highest package offer of 20 LPA among all the different courses offered at the university.
These are some reasons why I would suggest you choose Christ University Bangalore for your B.Tech Mechanical degree.
How is mechanical engineering of PDPU compared to the mechanical engineering of Nirma?
According to the reviews online and talking to some of my friends, I got to know that both the colleges are really good. Both the colleges have lively atmosphere and culture and also, the faculties are really good and give great placements. You won’t regret joining either of two.
- Though life in Nirma is a bit tougher and more suffocating than PDPU.
- But, the Mechanical Engineering department in both the colleges are amazing.
- But yes, it is much better in Nirma as far as course curriculum and studies are concerned.
- Placements are good in both colleges.
- Top companies such as Reliance and Adani Power come to PDPU for recruitment and in Nirma companies such as Cognizant, Evosys, ZS Associates, Reliance participates.
- So overall if you are getting mechanical at Nirma then go for it.
| Categories | Mechanical at PDPU | Mechanical at Nirma University |
| Course Fee | 9.73 lakh | 7.24 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 19 LPA | 20 LPA |
| Average CTC | 16 LPA | 12 LPA |
Also, from overall view I think you should opt for Nirma. But don’t rush into your decision, think as much as you want and choose the best for you. The decision is all yours at last.
Should I take NIT Surat for mechanical engineering or BITS Goa for an MSc in maths?
There are different viewpoints for the same question. It primarily depends upon what is best for you, and whether or not the course you are willing to take interests you.
One of my friends encountered a similar problem likewise, and addressing the same, here are some points you might want to consider before diving into any conclusion,
- A dual degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry is claimed as a part of Science, while others are considered in the case of Engineering. You will learn the theories of science instead of the application of technology.
- In Mathematics, you are supposed to learn the series of higher-order and their respective application. While, in Mechanical Engineering, you will learn more deeply about Engines, Boilers, Automobiles, Refrigerator Systems, and much more.
- A single degree, like Mechanical Engineering, CSE, EE, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering, can be more advantageous than dual degrees.
- If you opt for a dual degree in Mathematics, you have a higher probability of becoming a mathematician or a professor. But, in case you pursue Mechanical Engineering from NIT Surat, then you bear higher chances of securing a placement offer at top-tier MNCs.
- Your choice should always remain ahead of most others. The one piece of advice is that in NIT Surat, you supposedly cannot change your degree from M.Sc to B.Tech following the 1st year and vice versa.
You should research the same for BITS Goa and find whether or not the rule is similarly applicable in the institute. This is the basic difference you can find between both institutes.
Which is better, NIT Surathkal for mechanical or IIEST Shibpur for CSE?
Both NIT Surathkal and IIEST Shibpur are amazing institutes and the departments of the mentioned branches are at their best. The deciding factor here is your branch of interest.
- If you are inclined towards Mechanical Engineering, you must opt for NITK. If you are more into coding IIEST must be your choice.
- Another factor to look for if you are not that specific about the branch to study is the institute's proximity to your home.
- The one which is easily accessible must be preferably your choice.
- Shibpur is very well connected to all major cities. Frequent industry visits are conducted.
- NITK Surathkal is located in Karnataka. Their campus is the best. They even have a beach surrounding its campus.
| Categories | CSE at IIEST Shibpur | Mechanical at NIT Surathkal |
| Course Fee | 5.68 lakhs | 5.40 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 29-35 LPA | 28 LPA |
| Average CTC | 17-18 LPA | 10-15 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. | L&T, JP Morgan, IOCL, GAIL, etc. |
But when we compare placements in the CSE branch of IIEST Shibpur to the mechanical branch of NITK, IIEST Shibpur wins hands down. The decision here ultimately comes down to you. Consider all the above factors and choose wisely.
Which one should I choose for a BTech in mechanical engineering: IIEST Shibpur or Jadavpur University?
NIRF ranked Jadavpur University 12th in the top 100 universities and colleges of India. According to QS Asia rankings, it is ranked 136. Whereas, IIEST Shibpur has been ranked 19th by NIRF among the top colleges of India.

Which college should I choose for mechanical engineering: SRM Sonepat or UPES?
If you are considering the main SRM campus, you don’t need to hesitate. The campus is quite good. The faculties might not be great, but there are departments where they are found to be standard.
The hostels however are not quite up to the mark, so you can opt to search for a PG. The student crowd is quite impressive. You will be among talented peers. Also, SRM has a standard placement record.
Additionally, the other bonus point is that this institute is one of the most known private universities all through India. VIT, Manipal, BITS being the other three, while Thapar RVCE and so on follow straightaway.
A brief highlight of both institutes is briefed below.

Which is better for mechanical engineering in Pune: VIIT, VIT, or MIT?
I have many friends pursuing Mechanical Engineering in Pune from institutes like CIIT, VIT or MIT. Here is a comparative analysis of the two based on some common aspects
- Infrastructure: Infrastructure-wise, MIT is way ahead of VIIT and VIT. It has better campus facilities and a more diverse curriculum than other institutes. VIIT also has a decent infrastructure followed by VIT.
- Academics : All the aforementioned institutes have a well-updated curriculum mainly because they are autonomous. The faculty pool in general is of similar quality and you will have to depend on self-study more or less everywhere you go.
- Diversity : MIT has a more diverse student pool and you will get to interact with people coming from different states. Based on the crowd diversity, the preference order would be MIT> VIT> VIIT
- Practical exposure : VIT offers the best practical exposure because its Mechanical Engineering program is the oldest among the aforementioned institutes. VIIT and MIT ME branch is new so the exposure offered is very limited. In fact, these students are taken to VIT for exposure.
- Placements: VIIT and MIT have a similar average package of around INR 7 LPA while VIT had a lower average package of around INR 4.77 LPA.
The final decision will depend on your future prospects and inclinations.
How is VIIT Pune college for Mechanical Engineering?
VIIT Pune Mechanical Engineering program is a 4-year course and the course fee is around INR 5.96 Lakhs (General). The hostel fee is INR 1.21 Lakhs.
You should not waste your year and get admitted to VIIT Pune for your Mechanical Engineering. VIIT Pune is quite a good college. If you drop a year, you might regret that decision because then you will need to explain your gap to the recruiters during placements.
All the institutions in Pune are similar in terms of facilities. The crowd at VIIT Pune is pretty good. The faculty is average. The placement scenario for Mechanical at VIIT
Pune is average.
Here are the placement statistics for B.Tech Mechanical Engineering (2022) at VIIT Pune-

Is IIT Gandhinagar better than BITS-Pilani for Mechanical Engineering?
Yes, it was confusing once, two years ago and now I can happily confess that I do not regret choosing IIT Gandhinagar over BITS-Pilani. Since I also have friends in both the colleges, I can provide a detailed overview of the good and bad aspects of the colleges.
Also, information on BITS might be limited due to it will depend mostly on other people’s experiences, but the answer will talk about the good and bad side of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Gandhinagar.
Following are the merits of IIT Gandhinagar:
- Limited batch- The class consists of 30 students. This makes the interaction simple and competition healthy. The classes are interesting and interactive. And BITS here, has a classroom filled with 100 students.
- Friendly professors- All the professors are cooperative. They will always be present to help you.
- Constant branch parties/meetings- The Mechanical Branch will always witness regular meetings wherein the latest course will be the topic of discussion and how things can be done to modify it and gather suggestions accordingly. These meetings include Mechanical Engineering students (no freshers) and professors.
- New course- In case 10 others from your branch decide to go for an entirely new course which isn't taught in the department- you can always consult the professors and if they can teach that, your will certainly be granted.
- Lab facilities- Your lab experiences would be such that you'd work under time-limits. Objectives that will be given to you would have to be completed under a time-limit present along with it.
- Inter-disciplinary ideas- Unlike the rest of the colleges, IIT Gandhinagar has neighbours who are from a background of MSE and CSE. While sharing ideas, you get to learn much more than you can imagine.
One thing that students could miss at IIT Gandhinagar is the cultural fests and events. They don't have grand cultural fests of their own. This privilege was taken away by the seniors, which we were trying to rectify. But gratefully, we already have enough, so, that doesn't make us expect too much of these grand fests for ourselves.
Which is better, core branches at IIT Bhubaneswar or engineering design at IIT Madras?
I am opting for the core branches at IIT Bhubaneswar rather than engineering design at IIT Madras.
- IIT Bhubaneswar has both BTech and MTech courses for various engineering streams.
- The average course fee for 4 years of BTech program is INR 10 Lakhs.
- The placement scenario at IIT Bhubaneswar is perfect, with 92.86% of students placed in EE, 87% in Mechanical Engineering and 90.91% in ECE in 2023 placements.
- The highest package is INR 55.6 LPA, and the average package is INR 17.5 LPA.
- Top recruiters are Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, and more.
