Which is good for fire and safety engineering, NFSC Nagpur or CUSAT?
Both the institutes are government institutes and provide best in class education when it comes to Fire and safety engineering. They offer good placement opportunities in government and private organizations with good packages. However, NFSC Nagpur might be the choice to go due to the following reasons.
CUSAT:
Let’s discuss CUSAT first.
- The institute offers both fire and safety which includes more topics related to engineering courses which are very useful from a placements perspective.
- CUSAT is both AICTE and NBA accredited so has a good curriculum.
- One of the downsides is that in CUSAT fire drills do not take place regularly which is required by some companies during the placement process.
- Even though it is a very famous college in South India and has a good placement record, the infrastructure is a bit old compared to NFSC Nagpur.
- The competition here for the Fire and Safety course is more and you need to have a good rank in the CUSATCAT.
NFSC Nagpur:
- NFSC Nagpur has a course curriculum that is in line with the world’s top institutes with more focus given to physical standards and course syllabus.
- The institute focuses more on the fire drill process and physical fitness along with the academic part.
- It is a central government institute and provides the best placements for its students. The institute's alumni hold top positions in top fire organizations in India. The value of fire engineering here matches the IIT tag when it comes to fire engineering.
- It is very much necessary to have proper time management to align yourself with daily routines. All the hard work you put in will be reaped as many top companies including PSU’s come for recruitment here.
- BE in Fire course is a newly added one in this institute and competition is a bit less. The first few batches have passed with flying colors and have good placement records with the average package being around 10 LPA.
Considering all the facts above it is safe to say that NFSC Nagpur is the best option of the two. It is a central Govt. college under the Ministry of Home Affairs and has a rich alumni network in major public and private organizations.
Why should I take Production Engineering at NIT Trichy?
Production Engineering has a majority of Mechanical syllabus but the value of both the degrees is piles apart. One of my friends was a student of Production Engineering and he completed his graduation in 2013. Today, he is working in a PSU NTPC. He told me that a student who does BTech in Production Engineering has a variety of future aspects some of which have been listed below
- You can sit for placements for companies like Hero Motocorp, Honda, Hyundai, Ashok Leyland, etc. but not if you are looking for a job in public sector companies.
- You can go for PSUs that accept this degree like
- NTPC, SAIL, BHEL, ISRO, Vizag Steel, NPCIL, etc.
- If you have an interest in CS, you can also target your IT/software or Data analyst profiles which are available in abundance during placements.
- You can prepare for competitive exams like CAT/GRE if you plan to pursue an MBA or MS.
- You can steer your career towards entrepreneurship which does not require a very high-level degree.
These were some of the options and reasons why you can take Production Engineering at NIT Trichy.

How do I choose between IIT Delhi engineering physics, civil, production & industrial, and chemical engineering?
I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only.
- The major criterion followed at IIT Delhi by all the branches is a well-maintained CG. To secure good placements one has to constantly score a good CG throughout the program.
- During your admission, the department does not play any role but your 85 percent constraint on minimum possible strength does.
- Engineering Physics is a unique branch for those highly passionate about Physics and want to pursue higher studies in the same
- To secure core jobs, one has to move to MTech in Engineering Physics from BTech in Engineering Physics.
- For Chemical Engineering students, BTech is more than enough to secure decent packages and great research opportunities outside India.
- Consultancy and Analytics jobs are offered equally to students of all the departments
- Engineering Physics graduates usually take up consultancy or IT jobs
- Chemical Engineering is the most laid-back department of IIT Delhi with very flexible academics thus making it easy to maintain a decent CG throughout.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.
How is production engineering at BIT Mesra?
I am an alumnus of BIT Mesra and pursued my B.E. in Production Engineering from this institution. In my opinion, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is an excellent course.
BIT Mesra Production Engineering faculty is learned and supportive at the same time. If you want a job in the manufacturing/production industry, the curriculum over there is useful and interesting. However, a few topics in the curriculum are obsolete and an update is required with the advancement in technology and production practices.
Production Engineering at BIT Mesra has an almost negligible workload when compared to the other branches. The faculty is not as strict with quizzes and assignment submissions. With some effort, you will perform quite well academically.
Placement-wise, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is not an ideal branch. However, the top 10-15 students have a great chance of getting placed during campus recruitment. Not a good number of firms and industries related to this branch show up during campus recruitments. However, your skills and hard work will also determine your fate. During 2022, the placements for Production Engineering were decent with 33 students getting out of 42 registered students (and 36 eligible students).
Thus, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is a really good stream, but not an ideal one in terms of placements.
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.
