Chemical Engineering

IIT Kanpur

Should I prefer IIT Hyderabad mechanical or IIT Kanpur chemical? Please guide me.

lives in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India

One of my close friends is a third-year undergraduate student in the Department of chemical engineering at IIT Kanpur. After considering all the other choices that his rank allows he finally chose Chemical Engineering.

A majority of IITians take non-core jobs because of their easy availability and much better packages. If you are one of them, then definitely go for Chemical instead of Mechanical. This is because Chemical Engineering has a lesser workload and rigor in comparison to Mechanical, which gives you a lot of time to prepare for non-core jobs. However, it’s important to note that this is applicable only if you are targeting non-core jobs in finance or coding.

But if you are planning to go for Civil Services preferably IES, it’s better to opt for mechanical because you cannot prepare for IES along with chemical engineering.

For core jobs, going for an old IIT like IIT Kanpur is the safest and best you can make Hyderabad doesn't even stand a chance in that case.

DTU New Delhi

NIT Jalandhar

What should I prefer: NIT Jalandhar mechanical or DTU MAM?

Raj Kumar Ray Posted On : December 7th, 2022

B. Tech from National Institute of Technology, Rourkela (Graduated 2013)

Between NIT Jalandhar Mechanical Engineering and DTU MAM, the latter is the better option. This is because the placements for DTU mechanical are excellent. Some of the most reputed firms that visit the campus are Bajaj, Volvo, Daimler-Benz, Brahmos Aerospace, Technip, Schlumberger, Caterpillar, etc. Most of my friends from the same branch were able to secure amazing packages at top firms.

The learning process at DTU is more extensive. It has a lot of Mechanical Engineering teams which can help you know your branch better.

So choose DTU over NIT.

DTU New Delhi

NIT New Delhi

Which is better - mechanical at DTU or ECE at the NIT in Delhi?

Abhay Pratap Singh Posted On : January 5th, 2021

Undergraduate Computer Science, Delhi Technological University (2021)

ECE at NIT Delhi is not good. If you want to stay in Delhi then IIIT Delhi is a better alternative. Also, you can easily apply for CSE at other NITs or apply for other colleges such as PEC, IIIT, YMCA, etc.

The table below gives an overview of ECE at NIT Delhi and Mechanical at DTU.

Category	NIT Delhi	DTU
Average CTC	7.5 LPA	8-9 LPA
Course Fee	3.21 lakhs	7.81 lakhs

Infrastructure:

Since NIT Delhi has been recently established, it does not have its own campus. There are limited facilities available for students.
The hostels are not good and have connectivity issues. They are located very far from the main campus.
The facilities offered are incomparable with other colleges.

Placements:

As NIT Delhi is a newly established institution, the placements offered are also not very enduring as compared to NITs and other colleges such as PEC Chandigarh or IIIT Delhi.
IIIT Delhi has better placements than NIT Delhi as they have more experienced departments.

Coding Culture:

The coding environment at NIT Delhi, in comparison with other colleges, is also not good.
IIIT Delhi has better facilities for coding environment than in NIT Delhi.

Class Schedule:

The class schedule is quite hectic. Students have to attend classes from 9:30 to 5:30 with a break of just an hour.
Students waste a lot of time traveling as the hostels are located very far from college.

Faculty:

The faculty at NIT Delhi are not very skilled and they have less experience if compared with faculties of IIIT Delhi.

If you like CS and want to explore plenty of opportunities then you should apply at IIIT Delhi or other NITs. ECE at NIT Delhi is more substandard than CSE at NIT Delhi. Between the choices given, DTU Mechanical is a better option than ECE at NIT Delhi.

Civil Engineering

NIT Raipur

Which is better at NIT Raipur Mechanical or Civil?

Subham Bajaj Posted On : September 12th, 2023

studied at National Institute of Technology, Raipur

Both branches offer enough opportunities and scope in their respective fields. However, choosing one between these two will depend on your own preferences.

Placement-wise, Mechanical is slightly better than Civil at NIT Raipur. But that certainly does not mean that Civil students don’t get any kind of opportunities. One of my friends did his internship at Delhi Metro (DMRC) and that opened many doors of opportunities in both public and private sectors. As a civil engineer, you can contribute your services towards the nation's development along with public services.

Here is a slight comparison of placement statistics of these branches

Particulars	NIT Raipur Mechanical	NIT Raipur Civil
Eligible Students	94	81
Total Offers	85	52

In my opinion, Civil Engineering seems to be a better option than Mechanical. This is because there are huge vacancies in the public sector so the demand for civil engineers is slowly increasing. However, one must bear in mind that NIT Raipur has very few core companies coming for placements. Some of them that have visited in the past are L&T, SPCL, S K Samantha, Buildkraft, and PSUs like BPCL, HPCL, and CIL.

Ultimately, choose the branch that suits your inclinations and future prospects.
