One of my friends was a former student of this institute, and he was 2015 pass out batch. As per his advice, you would definitely face a difficult time getting success and fulfilling your dream if you opt for Production Engineering. 

However, a small number of students get jobs in the core sector after studying this engineering stream. If you are satisfied with the jobs in IT companies, like Infosys, TCS and so on, you can go for this subject.

In the following, a brief overview has been given about the placement facts of this institute.

However, my friend has studied Metallurgical Engineering in this institute, but a maximum number of his friends was from Production Engineering Stream. Thereby, the student must act wisely.

Production Engineering is the course for creating safe and efficient processes and transforming raw materials into finished items. IT Dual degree aims for doing collaborative projects under foreign universities. 

MNNIT Allahabad ranks 48th among the top private engineering colleges as per NIRF 2020 ranking. This institute provides top quality placements of 100% for all departments.

IIITM Gwalior is IT-oriented and ranks 100 among the top engineering colleges in India as per NIRF 2020 ranking. This institute always maintains above 90% placement by providing jobs in top-quality MNCs. 

Admission Process 

IIITM Gwalior:-

• The primary eligibility criteria is a minimum of 75% marks in 10+2.
• The final selection of the candidates depends on the JEE Main scores.

MNNIT Allahabad:-

• The primary eligibility criteria is a minimum of 75% marks in 10+2.
• The final selection of the candidates depends on the JEE Main scores.

Placements:-

MNNIT Allahabad is one of the best engineering institutes in North India. 792 students bagged placements in top-notch MNCs in 2019. 

In the 2019-20 placement session, more than 200 students were placed in top-notch MNCs. A total of 18% students were offered PPOs. More than 65 recruiters participated in the campus recruitment who offered 70 students a package above INR 10 LPA.

The top companies are Amazon, Citrix, Cipla, Dell, Google, Infosys, Deloitte, Airtel, Britannia, Accolite, etc. 

Faculty:-

The faculties of both the institutes are very much helpful towards their students. They are very much renowned for their research works. They always help the students for get jobs during their campus placements. 

IIITM Gwalior is a far better choice than MNNIT Allahabad. IIITM Gwalior is way ahead than MNNIT Allahabad in terms of placements. It is because the job opportunities after pursuing IT/CSE course from IIITM Gwalior is plenty and provides tremendous scope in future.

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.
