Due to the growing trends of computers in the country, usually, it is seen that there is no such demand for Mechanical engineering in the private sector. One of my friends is a mechanical engineering graduate. According to him:
- The only way that you can pursue your career in mechanical engineering is to clear the various government exams to get a job of your satisfaction.
- Students pursue various courses for programming to become well-known computer engineers. They get placed in the prestigious companies in the country.
- Apart from academics, these companies are much more inclined towards the TopCoder and GitHub profile of the candidate. This gives them an edge apart from others.
| Categories | Mechanical Engineering at IIT Madras |
| Course Fee | 4.02lakh |
| Highest CTC | 18 LPA |
| Average CTC | 8-9 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | TCS, Tech Mahindra, DE Shaw, Goldman Sachs, etc. |
So according to the overall placements provided to the students pursuing engineering in IIT Madras will be a good option. But Mechanical Engineering may have different results.
It is known that with fast-moving technology, the value of mechanical engineering has been somewhat degraded, especially in the private sector. So pursuing mechanical engineering is really not worth it in this computer age.
