How is production engineering at nit calicut?

You must know what you are getting yourself into. The mechanical engineering department of NITC offers 2 BTech courses that are Mechanical and Production. Both of these departments share faculties, labs, some courses, and other facilities. But at the end of the day, both are different courses.

There are two types of people seen in Production Engineering at NITC:

1. Students who wanted to study mechanical, but didn’t have the rank for it or could only get mechanical at other NITs. Production is after all similar to mechanical.
2. Students who didn’t have an appropriate rank to choose a branch/college of their choice, but still wanted to study in an NIT.

There are few things that students commonly felt during their days:

• Students are often seen saying that they should get mechanical equivalent certificates. There is no purpose in saying this as they are two different branches.
• Students also complain that teachers are biased. Few teachers refrain from teaching students from production batches. Mechanical batches are taught mostly by permanent faculty while production batches get guest faculties.
• There are very few placement opportunities for Production batches in comparison with Mechanical. Core companies are even fewer.
• The students of Production are often isolated from other batches of students. They are allotted spare rooms.

The placement options are not as rare as students may make out, but it may not be in the field that they are looking for.

So in the end one can say that, if the student truly wants to be a mechanical engineer, then this college probably isn’t for you. If they just want the NIT experience, then they should know what options they will have after college.
