Although the Punjab University was established as early as 1882, its UIET, the engineering department was established in 2002. Here are a few highlights pertaining to Mechanical Engineering at UIET

  • Curriculum: UIET Mechanical Engineering has a decent course structure at par with top NITs and some IITs. Exclusive subjects like Finite Element Methods,  Robotics,  Mechatronics, and Automatic Controls are taught in this branch.
  • Faculty: Most of the professors are learned and experienced although you will find some average teachers too.
  • Extracurriculars: UIET is well-known for its dynamic campus life owing to a variety of events. Students here can be seen participating in the national level events organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) such as BAJA, Efficycle, etc. Occasionally events like AAVISHKAR and GOONJ are held in addition to other cultural and literary fests.
  • Achievements: UIET has a list of achievements the biggest is that it hosts SAE Efficycle which is a huge event. Additionally, a team from UIET went to NASA for the “Moonbuggy” project in 2013. UIET also has a record of excellent performance by Mechanical Engineers in GATE, CAT, and other Competitive Exams. The cutoffs are increasing every year.
  • Alumni: UIET has an elaborate alumni pool that can be found in big PSUs like  IOCL, BPCL, ONGC, HPCL, SAIL, Government Research Organisation, and almost every top management college.
  • Placements: Although good, UIET placements can never be at par with IITs and NITs. The department is new and still needs to grow to attract big recruiters. Currently, it’s visited by companies like Honda, HMEL, Technip, Oceaneering, Mondelez International, ZS Associates, DESL, JSW, Nestle, etc 

In all, UIET focuses on the holistic development of its students thereby helping you grow as a person thanks to its lively hostel and campus life.

Mechanical branch in UIET Chandigarh is a good decision but it comes with a drawback. My cousin just completed his B.Tech from this institute and according to him, the following are some of the insights.

  • The professors are well qualified and quite regular. You will be well guided throughout your journey.
  • You can take part in various mechanical events like Efficars and EFFicycles.
  • Regarding campus placements, many mass recruiters visit the campus such as Infosys, TCS, etc.
  • One notable thing at UIET is that many of the students prefer to go for higher education after completing their B.Tech. Also, some of my cousin’s seniors bagged top ranks in AIR GATE!

However, the placement is much better for subjects like IT, CSE, and ECE. This is because Not too many core mechanical companies visit UIET and many non-technical companies don't allow mechanical and electrical students to sit in their placements as they look for coding experience.
