How is a dual degree in mechanical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar in comparison with NIT Surat (SVNIT) mechanical engineering?

I pursued my B.Tech Mechanical from SVNIT, thus, I can only comment on my college. The faculty of the mechanical department is top notch. Majority of our teachers are highly driven. It is because of them that mechanical is the most famous branch of our college. Our teachers emphasize practical knowledge over mere theoretical understanding. Many of them have more than 10 years of experience in teaching. The department has enough professors, so very few courses are taken by TAs. The faculty is very helpful for projects and research work. The curriculum for B.Tech Mechanical is very rich, and you’ll get to choose one elective per semester in the 3rd and 4th year. You can choose courses from other branches as well. You can choose management courses, programming courses, physics related courses, automobile courses, etc. SVNIT is probably the only college that teaches its students topics like Mechatronics, Computational fluid mechanics (CFD), Cryogenics, etc. at the UG level itself. Unfortunately, like most other colleges, our practical syllabus and lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The labs do not contain equipment of the latest technology. The workshop contains all conventional and non conventional machines like lathe, shoper, milling, grinding, welding, abrasive jet machine, EDM, 3-D printer, etc. As far as B.Tech Mechanical at SVNIT is concerned, I would say it is quite a decent option.

Should I take NIT Surat for mechanical engineering or BITS Goa for an MSc in maths?

There are different viewpoints for the same question. It primarily depends upon what is best for you, and whether or not the course you are willing to take interests you. One of my friends encountered a similar problem likewise, and addressing the same, here are some points you might want to consider before diving into any conclusion, A dual degree in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry is claimed as a part of Science, while others are considered in the case of Engineering. You will learn the theories of science instead of the application of technology. In Mathematics, you are supposed to learn the series of higher-order and their respective application. While, in Mechanical Engineering, you will learn more deeply about Engines, Boilers, Automobiles, Refrigerator Systems, and much more. A single degree, like Mechanical Engineering, CSE, EE, Civil Engineering, or Chemical Engineering, can be more advantageous than dual degrees. If you opt for a dual degree in Mathematics, you have a higher probability of becoming a mathematician or a professor. But, in case you pursue Mechanical Engineering from NIT Surat, then you bear higher chances of securing a placement offer at top-tier MNCs. Your choice should always remain ahead of most others. The one piece of advice is that in NIT Surat, you supposedly cannot change your degree from M.Sc to B.Tech following the 1st year and vice versa. You should research the same for BITS Goa and find whether or not the rule is similarly applicable in the institute. This is the basic difference you can find between both institutes.

Which is better NIT Calicut or NIT Surat for mechanical?

If you want to study mechanical engineering, I would recommend NIT Surat without a doubt. NIT Surat specializes in mechanical engineering. Let me share some details I got to know about while researching. It is the most organized and well-established department here. You could tell the difference between the faculties of the mechanical department and the others. The majority of the faculty are PhDs from prestigious IITs and well experienced in their particular fields. Furthermore, there are numerous mechanical clubs that are well established. So, in addition to excellent classroom teaching, you would gain hands-on experience on practical projects. Categories NIT Calicut NIT Surat Total course fee 5.42 lakhs 5.63 lakhs Placement rate 85% 90% Average salary package 8.1 lakhs 12 lakhs Top recruiters ABB, ADP, Amadeus, amdocs, Ashok Leyland, Bajaj Auto, CapGemini. Airtel, Ashok Leyland, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited, DE Shaw, EXL, Infosys So, if you are truly interested in mechanical engineering, I would recommend that you should not hesitate to apply to NIT Surat.

Which should I prefer, SVNIT mechanical or IIIT Vadodara computer science?

If you are not looking at the branch, then you should think about going to SVNIT for Mechanical. Having friends study in both the institutes, I might be able to provide some details about them. However, if you have decided that you would like to go for computers and if you could handle that field, IIIT Vadodara is a pretty good choice. But many people will also advise you to not compare the two branches as they are quite different. NIT Surat is a better option facility wise but let me tell you that getting a job in the mechanical core is quite difficult. A lot of students will also opt for software fields. Categories Mechanical at SVNIT CSE at IIIT Vadodara Course Fee 5.47 lakh 7.83 lakh Highest CTC 19 LPA 21-25 LPA Average CTC 6.09 LPA 12 LPA Recruiting Companies Tata, Infosys, L&T, Sapient, etc. Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon, HCL, etc. Placement-wise, IIIT Vadodara is the best as you can get a lot more than what you might be looking for in Mechanical. Hope this helps.
