Is there any scope in industrial and production engineering in NIT Jalandhar?
Whatever the scope of the industry, the "average pack" one receives is determined by one's skills and abilities, not by the degree or institution.
Choose one track to which you can relate. Then, work hard to gain knowledge and skills so that you can one day demonstrate your worth to a selection board.
Which is a better choice among industrial systems engineering at IIT Kharagpur and electrical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar?
Ans. - IIT Bhubaneswar is a young institute with immense potential for growth and accomplishment. In contrast, IIT Kharagpur is a well-established institute with a long-standing reputation.
If you are seeking an institute with outstanding campus life and facilities, then IIT Kharagpur is the perfect fit for you. If you are uncertain about your branch of study but confident about your ability to compete, you can consider opting for a branch change after your first year by earning a high GPA. Keep in mind that this option is not an easy one.
Considering the scope of job and academia, Electrical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar may be a better option for you, even if you are unaware of the current placement scenario. Students have been receiving better offers over the years, indicating positive growth.
In the end, your decision depends on your interests and what you want to study. Both of these institutes are excellent places to pursue either of these streams, with their respective strengths and opportunities.
Should I take production engineering at MNNIT Allahabad and try for a branch change or should I take CS in NIT Raipur?
There will be a handful of seats available for branch change and branch modifications do not only occur when you fill in a form. You will have other brilliant and ambitious students to compete with.
Choosing the right branch:
If you are facing trouble choosing the right branch, you should remember the following things.
- Don’t opt for a branch just because of the higher CTC, or college brand name, etc. Because the degree you will get is for life. So, make sure you are interested to work in the field that you are choosing.
- Also, go through the syllabus given on the official website and see if you can do the coursework for the branch of your choosing.
The table below gives a brief overview of the two courses.

My brother was a student of MNNIT Allahabad and for his 1st year, the highest CGPA was 9.67, while many scored 9. So, the chances of branch upgradation are quite slim.
Should I go for PEC Chandigarh Mechanical or NIT Calicut Production?
You should go for PEC Chandigarh Mechanical. The institute offers decent placements and career opportunities. The placement rate for Mechanical is around 90%. Companies visiting PEC Chandigarh placements recruit students in both core and non-core profiles. The salary packages offered are in the range of INR 3.6 LPA - 22 LPA.
Also, Production is a niche branch. The career opportunities available in the production field are limited compared to the Mechanical field.
Which one is better: chemical engineering from University of Chandigarh or production and industrial engineering from PEC Chandigarh?
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 -

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.

The faculty of this department is really cooperative, they will not pressurize you during their B.Tech. It is your responsibility to take the initiative and explore the opportunities because you will not be spoon-fed in college. But you can always approach the faculty regarding any problem.
If we talk about the placement scenario, there are a good number of companies that come to the campus and you can only get placed if you study hard. The campus scenario for the previous years has not been good but it has still ranked among the best campus placements. You can also try and study some advanced courses in classes that will help you to improve your CV.
Which is better, production engineering or metallurgy engineering at PEC Chandigarh?
I have friends studying production engineering at PEC Chandigarh and they have come across that it is somewhat similar to mechanical engineering. You can expect a lot of mechanics and physics, however, some subjects differ as you get into the core.
Coming to the question, it totally depends on your pool of interest whether you are into mechanics and production or metallurgy. Here are two major factors you might consider before choosing any of them
- Production Engineering can get you jobs and packages similar to mechanical engineering. Also, it is a versatile branch where you can learn about manufacturing, operation, maintenance, etc.
- If you are planning to get into research work after completion of engineering, then you must choose Metallurgy. It has broader research scopes than production engineering.
At the end of the day, follow your passion and know where you can invest these 4 years of your life. Nevertheless, if getting a job is your goal then go for production engineering. On the other hand, metallurgy engineering can open doors for good research work if you are interested in doing so.
Which is better, production engineering at NIT Agartala or ECE at NIT Mizoram?
Your decision completely depends on your priority as to what is the most important to you, the branch or the college. Being a graduate from NIT Agartala, I would suggest you go for NIT Agartala rather than NIT Mizoram.
- If college is the most important to you then you should go for NIT Agartala. The infrastructure is far better than most of the NITs.
- You may have to face some trouble regarding the faculties as they are not up to the mark.
- If the branch is your priority go for ECE, however, Production Engineering also has grown as a department. You can make your careers in Supply Change, Quality Management, and Control, etc.
- Other than this, your choice should depend upon the location. Give preference to the one that's closer to your home.
- Both the colleges are tier 3 Indian engineering colleges and the graduates have been working in companies with a package of 3 to 4 lakhs per annum.
| Categories | Production Engineering at NIT Agartala | ECE at NIT Mizoram |
| Course Fee | 6.31 lakh | 5.43 lakh |
| Highest CTC | 8-10 LPA | 6-7 LPA |
| Average CTC | 5.5 LPA | 3.5 - 4 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | L&T, NTPC, JP Morgan, Reliance, etc. | Bharat Electronics Limited, Tech Mahindra, IBM, HP, etc. |
Both branches are equally good in their own ways. But ultimately it is your decision to choose where you want to study. It is suggested that you go for NIT Agartala as it is a more experienced institution than NIT Mizoram.
How good are the placements for a B.Tech in safety and fire engineering at CUSAT?
I have a few friends at CUSAT, so I think I can give you an idea about the placement opportunities available for their Fire and Safety department.
Fire and Safety Engineering can be quite challenging. If you are serious about your studies and put in the required effort you will definitely have enough opportunities at the time of placements. But if you are not that serious about academics and end up having backlogs the faculty will not help you during placements.
If you are sincere you can get packages similar to the ones offered at reputed IITs and NITs. Here is a brief highlight of the recent placement statistics for the branch.
- Highest CTC - 14 lakhs
- Major recruiters - BPCL, IOCL, JSW, etc.
Also, it is worth mentioning that CUSAT is NBA Tier - 1 accredited. Other than CUSAT, only IITs and NITs have NBA accreditation. So, CUSAT is definitely a worthy choice for a B.Tech in Fire and Safety Engineering.
