According to the reviews online and talking to some of my friends, I got to know that both the colleges are really good. Both the colleges have lively atmosphere and culture and also, the faculties are really good and give great placements. You won’t regret joining either of two.
Categories | Mechanical at PDPU | Mechanical at Nirma University |
Course Fee | 9.73 lakh | 7.24 lakh |
Highest CTC | 19 LPA | 20 LPA |
Average CTC | 16 LPA | 12 LPA |
Also, from overall view I think you should opt for Nirma. But don’t rush into your decision, think as much as you want and choose the best for you. The decision is all yours at last.
Having friends in both the colleges, I can say that MNIT Jaipur and IIIT Lucknow are equally good in their own ways. If you get a chance in any of these colleges, go for it.
Apart from getting admission in any one of either the only thing which would give you trouble is which field to choose? But, I would like to say that whatever field you choose, if you work hard and be honest with your studies you will land in a better place.

And talking about IIIT Lucknow, Their campus just started functioning in 2020. Earlier IIIT Lucknow runs from IIIT Allahabad campus.
Further, getting a job in core trade is very difficult to go to IIIT Lucknow but do check the infrastructure and previous year placement record of IIIT otherwise join MNIT Jaipur in mechanical without any second thought.
There are many things to consider while choosing a college such as placements, location, branch, choice, your expectations after 4 years of engineering life, etc.
If you have a liking for a particular branch then go to that college all things considered. Being a student of MNIT myself, I can say that, if you are only concerned about placements then MNIT Jaipur will prove to be a better choice.
The following data comparing the placements at both institutes will hopefully give you better clarity.

However, if you are thinking of branch change after entering the college then MNIT Jaipur does not provide that option while PEC Chandigarh offers that option. So choose one according to what matters more to you.
Having friends in both IIIT Guwahati and BITS Pilani, I can say that colleges are well recognized in India and abroad.
CSE and Mechanical are completely different from each other. CSE definitely has more advantages over Mechanical. It’s worth mentioning that CSE growth has been on a positive incline and will remain so. There is much more demand for CSE than that of Mechanical in today’s world.
Now coming to the second option giving the institute a preference then BITS Pilani is way too ahead of IIIT Guwahati. BITS Pilani has better international outreach than any IIIT so it will be really helpful if you have decided to study abroad for your higher studies.

The Mechanical branch of BITS Pilani is good for research and for higher studies too. So if you do not want to go into the corporate sector, Mechanical at BITS Pilani will be perfect for you.

No, it is not possible to get admission to the mechanical engineering branch of NIT Puducherry with a rank of 40k, through another state quota. According to the 2020 cutoff trend, the closing cutoff of Mechanical Engineering for general category students was 31725.
So, your chance of getting admission with a rank of 40k through another state quota is pretty slim.
I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical Engineering student at IIT Bhubaneswar.
The professors in our department are outstanding. Besides possessing expertise in the fundamental concepts of this field, they have produced high-impact research papers on a variety of subjects.
As of now, the 2023-24 B.Tech Mechanical batch at IIT Bhubaneswar has recorded 94.34% placements. Presently, the highest package is INR 27 LPA, the 4th highest among all B.Tech branches. The average ctc is INR 11.96 LPA for B.Tech Mechanical. The placements will continue till the end of August 2024.
Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar and Electrical Engineering at IIT Dhanbad:

Although the ranking and placements of IIT Dhanbad are superior, the School of Mechanical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar has some of the best teachers and a rich course curriculum.
I would personally recommend you join Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar, but the choice is ultimately yours.
Both NIT Surathkal and IIEST Shibpur are amazing institutes and the departments of the mentioned branches are at their best. The deciding factor here is your branch of interest.
Categories | CSE at IIEST Shibpur | Mechanical at NIT Surathkal |
Course Fee | 5.68 lakhs | 5.40 lakhs |
Highest CTC | 29-35 LPA | 28 LPA |
Average CTC | 17-18 LPA | 10-15 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Deloitte, Wipro, Infosys, Tech Mahindra, etc. | L&T, JP Morgan, IOCL, GAIL, etc. |
But when we compare placements in the CSE branch of IIEST Shibpur to the mechanical branch of NITK, IIEST Shibpur wins hands down. The decision here ultimately comes down to you. Consider all the above factors and choose wisely.
For Mechanical, IIT Gandhinagar will be the best option among the institutes mentioned. IIT Indore is also a decent option. You shouldn’t consider the other IITs for the Mechanical branch.
Reputed companies like MRF, EY, Deloitte, Hyundai, and many renowned start-ups recruit Mechanical students from IIT Gandhinagar. According to the highlights of IIT Gandhinagar placements, Mechanical students get an average CTC of INR 6.5 LPA.
If you don’t have any particular inclination toward Mechanical Engineering, then Civil Engineering from IIT Guwahati will be the better choice. It is an old IIT and offers good infrastructure, faculty, and a well-developed alumni base.
According to the statistics of recent years, IIT Guwahati Civil Engineering placement statistics are pretty good. Around 80% of the students get placed each year and the average CTC offered to the students of this branch is INR 17.5 LPA.
