Chandigarh University (CU), the youngest university to be ranked by NIRF. It is placed at 84th in the NIRF ranking of 2020 for engineering institutes. The university has also got NAAC A+ accreditation, which gives it international recognition. 

Studying at CU as one of its students has its own perks and benefits. Students and teachers from not only CU but other universities also know the value of a CU degree in your resume.

Without a doubt, CU is far better than UIET KUK for the B.E. Mechanical Engineering course. The brand name of CU is enough to add feathers to your resume. The best part about CU is that it is an entirely student-oriented university.

A few perks of CU which gives it an upper hand over UIET KUK are listed below:

1. CU is parallel with technology. They have advanced laboratories even for the mechanical students.
2. CU inculcates practical learning in students by giving them good industrial exposure. For example, the industrial visit to the Gurugram plant which is Asia’s biggest manufacturing plant of Maruti Suzuki. 
3. Top companies like Samsung, Wipro, Godrej, Tafe, Amazon, etc. frequently recruit students from CU.
4. CU prepares students for the competition by organizing technical events and allowing students to participate in the various events or fests to enhance their extra-curricular activities, skill-sets, and knowledge. It also organises expert lectures from prominent personalities and conducts events for different social-causes.
5. In CU, you will find yourself learning from the best professors of the university.
6. CU also has a well-equipped library with all genres of books. 
7. The whole campus is WIFI enabled.

The Mechanical Engineering (ME) from CU is the most promising program to take. However, a disadvantage of CU is the fee structure. The fees for the BE in Mechanical Engineering is Rs.6.4 Lakh and the fees for B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering in UIET KUK is Rs. 4.2 Lakh. The quality of education is unbeatable in CU. They provide a better engineering education than UIET KUK.

It depends on what it is that you want as both are different subjects. It depends on your preference. According to my cousin who studied CSE at MNIT, if you want a challenging job and you are aiming for PSUs, then mechanical engineering may be good. But the placements of mechanical even in top colleges like IITs will be lower than their CSE counterparts.

• If you like corporate sector private jobs in the IT or software sector, then CSE at MNIT Jaipur is a very good option.
• Campus placements will be much easier with packages far higher than mechanical.
• This does not mean that CSE is an easy subject. It can be difficult especially if you do not have a coding background in your class 11th and 12th.
• For that, you need to put extra effort during your graduation.

Mechanical engineering is going to be tougher even at IITs to secure a job. However, with some struggle, hard work, and years of experience, you may land a PSU job. However, CSE is not easy but getting an initial start to your career is easier in this branch with a good starting salary.

Pick the one which suits you better according to your career choice and the career progression you want after some years.

If you have a GATE Scorecard, you will be able to secure a place on the PSIT for mechanical engineering. This is because of the availability of the one Interview Round. But try applying online or calling them for any opening if you are a graduate. They will inform you and organize an interview if they find you relevant.

Whether you will be appointed as a faculty or laboratory assistant according to your qualification. You will continue to work for approximately 2 years as Lab Assistant.

In terms of actual placement at the campus, top recruitment firms like Infosys, Capgemini, TCS, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro visit the campus. Students are given leading jobs such as assistant system engineer, software developer, and business analyst.

The top salary package provided is 26 LPA and the lowest pay package is 3 LPA. The average package available is 3.6 LPA.

In order to better understand the concept, PSIT offers E-classrooms, laboratories, workshops, and training. It focuses not only on teaching academic information but also on implementing it in practice, and hence their practicals are given some importance compared to lectures.

If you are not looking at the branch, then you should think about going to SVNIT for Mechanical. Having friends study in both the institutes, I might be able to provide some details about them.

However, if you have decided that you would like to go for computers and if you could handle that field, IIIT Vadodara is a pretty good choice.

But many people will also advise you to not compare the two branches as they are quite different. NIT Surat is a better option facility wise but let me tell you that getting a job in the mechanical core is quite difficult. A lot of students will also opt for software fields.

Placement-wise, IIIT Vadodara is the best as you can get a lot more than what you might be looking for in Mechanical. Hope this helps.

It depends where your interest lies. But if you think according to the placement opportunities, safety, and fire engineering is much more preferred due to the high demand in the industry. The faculty is also well-qualified along with the quality education that the college provides. But safety and fire engineering deal with a lot of safety responsibilities so, if you are opting for this branch be prepared for that.

However, if you don’t want to be confined in one specific area then go for Mechanical. As it is a core branch, you can get many specializations later.

So, choose a branch according to your interest.

This query hints that you are not inclined towards a particular branch. Instead, you wish to opt for the best option as per your ranking. 

As per placements-

1. During 2022, B.Tech ECE at MNIT Jaipur recorded 97.75% placements, and the average package was 18.01 LPA. 

1. During 2022, MANIT Bhopal B.Tech CSE recorded an average CTC of 17.45 LPA.

1. This year, B.Tech Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad recorded 90.24% placements, and the average CTC was 12.51 LPA.

Based on the average package, I would recommend you opt for either MNIT Jaipur ECE or MANIT Bhopal CSE. MANIT Bhopal is a good option for B.Tech CSE. You’ll have good placement prospects as a CSE student at this college. Do consult some seniors from all these colleges/branches to make a more informed choice.
