Which is better: chemical engineering in BITS Pilani or mechanical engineering in PEC Chandigarh?

Sugandhi GuptaStudied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

Choose what interests you. If you are interested in Chemical Engineering, BITS Pilani is a great option. It offers decent academics and exposure. Core Chemical companies and oil companies recruit from the institute. Schlumberger, ONGC, Reliance, etc. are among the major recruiters for the branch. BITS Pilani placement highlights show the average CTC to be around INR 12 LPA for Chemical Engineering.

But if you are interested in Mechanical Engineering, you should choose PEC Chandigarh.

Which college should I take for mechanical engineering? I am confused among PEC Chandigarh, NIT Kurukshetra, and NIT Jalandhar.

Harish ShahStudied at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar ( NITJ ) (Graduated in 2021)

NIT Kurukshetra or PEC Chandigarh are the best options for you. You can certainly cross NIT Jalandhar off your list.

The practical labs at NITJ are not well-equipped, and the majority of the equipment is broken. The faculty, on the other hand, is excellent. You should not make NITJ your top priority.

Should I go for PEC Chandigarh Mechanical or NIT Calicut Production?

Disha SenguptaStudied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

You should go for PEC Chandigarh Mechanical. The institute offers decent placements and career opportunities. The placement rate for Mechanical is around 90%. Companies visiting PEC Chandigarh placements recruit students in both core and non-core profiles. The salary packages offered are in the range of INR 3.6 LPA - 22 LPA.

Also, Production is a niche branch. The career opportunities available in the production field are limited compared to the Mechanical field.

Which is better, NIT Patna in ECE or PEC Chandigarh in mechanical?

Madhav AnejaLived in Chandigarh, India

Choosing between NIT Patna in ECE and PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering can be a difficult decision. It depends on your interests, career goals, and personal preferences. Here are some factors to consider that can help you make an informed decision:

NIT Patna in ECE:

ECE is a rapidly growing field with plenty of job opportunities.
NIT Patna is an esteemed institute, known for its excellent faculty and research facilities.
ECE offers a wide range of specializations, such as communication, signal processing, VLSI, and embedded systems.
The course curriculum is rigorous and includes both theoretical and practical aspects of electronics and communication engineering.

PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering:

Mechanical Engineering is a traditional field that offers various job opportunities in diverse industries, such as manufacturing, automobile, aerospace, and energy.
PEC Chandigarh is a reputed institute, known for its strong industry collaborations and research facilities.
Mechanical Engineering offers various specializations, such as design, manufacturing, materials science, and robotics.
The course curriculum is comprehensive and includes theoretical and practical aspects of mechanical engineering.

Therefore, to choose between the two, you need to consider your interests, career goals, and your preferences. If you are interested in electronics, communication, and signal processing, and want to pursue a career in this field, NIT Patna in ECE may be the best choice for you. However, if you are interested in mechanical engineering, design, manufacturing, and robotics, and want to work in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, or energy, PEC Chandigarh in Mechanical Engineering may be a better option for you.

Is the electrical course better than the mechanical course at PEC in Chandigarh?

Rohan Basustudied at Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh (2019)

Two years ago, one of my friends was in the same situation. He could have taken electrical and sit for every company’s placements. If he chooses mechanical, then only core opportunities are open. Given the circumstances, he chose electrical in the first round of counseling. It was so because he would at least get a chance to sit in almost every business.

Sitting in a good company does not guarantee a good job, and mechanical engineering at PEC is far superior to that of many NITs and even IITs. Trusting his seniors and teachers, he switched to mechanical on the spot round to which he doesn't regret till now.

If you're interested in electrical, go for it. Since my friend had no particular interest in any of these subjects, he preferred mechanical over electrical.

What is the better option for an undergraduate course from PEC University Chandigarh, mechanical or aerospace?

Sarthak Chaudhuristudied at Chandigarh University (2018)

It all depends on your personal preferences and what appeals to you the most. However, if none of these two branches piques your attention, then definitely mechanical engineering in PEC is the way to go.

Mechanical is often favored over Aerospace in terms of placement, faculty, or any other criterion.

Mechanical is an evergreen branch, as they claim, and they call it that for a reason.
It is in high demand. All industries will need the mind of a mechanical engineer today and forever.

Categories	Mechanical at PEC	Aerospace at PEC
Course Fee	6.39 lakh	6.39 lakh
Placement Percentage	80%	-
Highest CTC	15-23 LPA	10-12 LPA
Average CTC	6 LPA	6-7 LPA
Recruiting Companies	JP Morgan, MySQL, Amazon, HPCL, etc.	Airbus, Boeing, Goodrich, GE, etc.

It would be advised that mechanical is always a better choice than aerospace. You can choose to go for Mechanical engineering without giving it much thought and discussion.

How is PEC Chandigarh for mechanical engineering? Is it comparable to NITs? Which college should I prefer?

Praveen SharmaB.Tech. Mechanical Engineering, Punjab Engineering College, Chandigarh

One of my friends is an alumnus of PEC Chandigarh. According to him, the Mechanical branch has good placement statistics. Here are a few highlights of the branch that may be helpful.

You can easily secure an average package of 6-7 LPA.
In recent years the highest CTC offered to students of this branch is around 15 LPA. Although companies offering software-based profiles even offer 22 LPA.
Some of the major recruiters for the Mechanical branch are JP Morgan, Tata, ITC, Hero, Bajaj, ZS Associates, Maruti, etc.
The placement average of the branch is almost 80% and only students with low CGPA remain unplaced.
PEC doesn’t have a good research culture. If you are interested in good research exposure, go for an internship at any IIT.
According to my friend the quality of teaching is average.

Lastly, if you have options to go for better NITs such as Allahabad, Bhopal, Raipur, etc. go for it. Many reputed PSUs visit the campus placements of these NITs and offer Design profiles.

Which is better, PEC Chandigarh mechanical or MNIT Jaipur chemical?

Riddhi SarkarStudied at MNIT Jaipur (2019)

There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.

If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.

The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.

Categories	Mechanical at PEC Chandigarh	Chemical at MNIT Jaipur
Course Fee	6.39 lakh	6.56 lakh
Highest CTC	15 LPA	17 LPA
Average CTC	6.5 LPA	8-9 LPA
Recruiting Companies	Tata, JP Morgan, Amazon, MySQL, etc.	Hindustan Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Tata Chemicals, Carron Oil, etc.

However, if you are thinking of branch change after entering the college then MNIT Jaipur does not provide that option while PEC Chandigarh offers that option. So choose one according to what matters more to you.
