Should I go for B.Tech Automotive Engineering in DTU or B.Tech (Data Sciences) in PEC Chandigarh?
Thank you for the ask to answer. I am a student of DTU and pursuing Automotive Engineering. In July, I will be sitting for placements, so I can provide you with a perspective on this choice. Firstly, it's important to note that Automotive Engineering is closely related to Mechanical Engineering, with about 80 percent of the syllabus being similar. Additionally, we study 5 to 6 subjects related to Production and Industrial Engineering. During placements, around 70 percent of the companies that recruit for Mechanical Engineering also consider Automotive Engineering students. This can be seen as a drawback since our branch is often perceived as similar to Mechanical Engineering due to the name change. DTU offers ample research opportunities and co-curricular activities. I would suggest you consider your confidence in scoring better in your chosen field. If you believe you can excel, then go for it; otherwise, it might be worth exploring other options.
