Which is the better college for pursuing mechanical engineering in Tamil Nadu, PSG or NIT - Trichy?

One of my friends studied in the PSG Mechanical branch. In his opinion, both the colleges are well known and quite famous for Mechanical Engineering. Let me state some facts about them which might help you decide. NIT Trichy holds a certain advantage over PSG. It is considered one of the top 5 NITs. It has earned recognition not only in India but also globally. In NIT Trichy you will get much more opportunities and the proper exposure. PSG is not bad but while comparing it with NIT Trichy, it gets more leverage. In PSJ the faculty members are really good in their respective fields. In PSG students mostly like to learn their subjects by themselves and are independent of the teachers. NIT Trichy has all the things required for such a core branch, like Good faculty members, excellent academics, internships, connection with industries, placement statistics, etc. All this makes NIT Trichy a better option for Mechanical Engineering.

Should one take mechanical in NIT Trichy or CSE in BITS Pilani main campus?

Both NIT Trichy and BITs Pilani are prestigious institutes offering high-quality engineering education. Moreover, CSE and ME are equally good with different opportunities and prospects. So the choice between BITS Pilani CSE and NIT Trichy Mechanical depends on what your preferences and career prospects are. BITS Pilani CSE is a great option if You want to join a top private organization like Google, Facebook, Quora, Amazon, Microsoft, etc Your primary goal is getting high packages even at the cost of extreme work conditions and workload If you have a strong passion for coding If you have no financial constraints and can afford the high BITS Pilani fees. However, NIT Trichy Mechanical is a good option if You are looking for a stable Government job through UPSC Engineering Services Examination You want to go for PSUs such as IOCL, ONGC, NTPC, etc through GATE If you are a research enthusiast and want to work in a research-oriented government job as a Scientist or Engineer in organizations like RDO, ISRO, BARC, etc If money is your secondary preference and you primarily focus on attaining a better work-life balance. If you have financial issues and BITS Pilani fees are out of your budget. Ultimately, it’s you who can decide the right college and stream for yourself. Just remember that these are just stepping stones to success and it’s you who has to work hard to become successful.

Your branch of choice is more important than your college preference. In terms of opportunities, Mechanical Engineering has a slight advantage over Civil Engineering Mechanical at MNNIT Allahabad has a consistent placement record.
