Which course is better...mechanical engineering dual degree at IIEST Shibpur or 4 years degree mechanical engineering degree at NIT DURGAPUR?
When you complete a course of four years normally, you complete your graduation with the fundamentals of your branch which allows you to pursue higher studies if they are in your interests. It also gives you the option, at the same time, to complete your undergraduate degree in another subject if you wish to.
If you want to pursue a dual course, it can probably put a dent in your freedom to pursue your interests and you will be ‘rewarded’ with the master’s degree. Another problem after receiving the master’s degree would be the confusion about looking for a job, pursuing a doctorate in the field of your interest(s).
The dual degree in mechanical will demand more dedication from you but the four-year degrees are easier compared to those. Mechanical engineering is a good option if going for higher studies is in your interests.
Which is better: CS from KIIT or mechanical from Thapar University?
Having known some people studying in both these institutions, I can say that KIIT is promising and is getting better every year. Thapar is a well-known and much older institute. You can choose either by preferring the college or the branch.
- If you are interested in studying mechanical engineering then go to Thapar. It has good placements for Mechanical. The faculty department is also decent.
- If you are more inclined towards coding go for CSE from KIIT. It is a more practical-oriented subject.
- If the interests do not lie in either and you just want a B.Tech degree and want to pursue higher studies or MBA, then go for CSE as that is the easiest among all the others.
- It will be more practical-based learning, more industry-oriented and it has the best scope after graduation.
| Categories | CS from KIIT | Mechanical at Thapar |
| Course Fee | 12.91 lakhs | 13.23 lakhs |
| Highest CTC | 30 LPA | 19 LPA |
| Average CTC | 12-16 LPA | 11 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies | Wipro, Infosys, Dell, Deloitte, etc. | Tech Mahindra, TCS, JP Morgan, Cisco, etc. |
So you should decide your field of interest and what type of job or higher studies you would like to do and then opt for the branch that fits best for you.
What should I choose between CSE (5 years) at IIT Bhubaneswar or mechanical (4 years) at IIT Madras or CSE Dhanbad(4years)?
The general preference order is
- College wise - IIT Madras > IIT Bhubaneswar > IIT Dhanbad
- Branch wise - CSE > Mechanical
It is best to make a decision based on your individual preferences.

Is NIT Surat better than NIT Calicut for mechanical?
As one of my friends is in the Computer Engineering Department of NIT Surat. I might be able to answer the question.
NIT Surat is well known for its Mechanical Branch. Compared to all branches, the quality of professors in the Mechanical Department is far better than the other branches.
If you have any interest in robotics we have Drishti, a student club that is completely dedicated to robotics and SAE for designing cars.
Thus, it is suggested that if you want to pursue mechanical engineering then go for NIT Surat. Whichever institute you choose you won't regret much. NIT Calicut also has good reviews on the internet.
