I am a second year B.Tech Mechanical student at IIT Bhubaneswar. NIT Surathkal is a top ranked NIT, but joining Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar has its own advantages:

• One of the best things about BTech in Mechanical Engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar is that it welcomes interdisciplinary studies and extracurricular pursuits like athletics, music, dancing, fine arts, entrepreneurship, social work, projects, and internships. 

• The faculty and academic atmosphere of the Mechanical Department at IIT Bhubaneswar is very student-friendly. The department has excellent faculty members with expertise in core concepts as well as high-impact research in various specialisations.

Here is a comparison between NIT Surathkal IT and IIT Bhubaneswar Mechanical for your reference:

Out of personal experience, I can assure you that B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Bhubaneswar is a good choice in terms of academics and placements. Rest, the choice depends on your personal preference. 

IIT Hyderabad offers an excellent curriculum for Mechanical Engineering.

• IIT Hyderabad offers a wide range of subjects like Engineering Mathematics, Strength of Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Manufacturing Processes, Heat Transfer, Machine Design, Control Systems, Robotics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Materials Science, Engineering Drawing, Industrial Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Renewable Energy Systems and more.
• IIT Hyderabad Mechanical students also get the opportunity to undertake internships, and research projects and also get hands-on practical training as a part of their well-structured curriculum.
• Some of the core mechanical engineering jobs that the students of IIT Hyderabad get offered after the completion of the course involve roles directly related to the field of mechanical engineering.
• Students can get jobs in fields like manufacturing, energy, automotive, aerospace, and more.

The cut-offs for IIT Goa for mechanical engineering for 2024 are expected to be opening cut-offs of 10361-10371 in the Gender Neutral category and closing cutoff of 13480-13490 in the Gender Neutral category.

For female Mechanical Engineering candidates, the cutoffs are expected to be 21060-21027 in 2024. Given below is the list of expected cut-offs:

As per IIT Indore Placements 2024, the BTech mechanical engineering average package is INR 22.17 LPA.

Lets take a look at the other details of the IIT Indore BTech-Mechanical Engineering Placements 2024 below.

BITS Pilani is a renowned institution that is known for its engineering courses both nationally and internationally.

Yes, a lateral entry admission at LPU for BTech will be a better option than other private universities. Here are the top reasons why:

• BTech graduates at LPU are offered excellent placements with the highest being INR 54.90 LPA.
• LPU is ranked 50 among the top engineering colleges in India by NIRF 2023. 
• You get the opportunity to avail various scholarships for the tuition fee waiver.
• You get an overall comprehensive idea of the subject in topics like thermodynamics, design knowledge, etc.
• Students are given regular industry visits and lab sessions to instil software skills.

Since you have completed a diploma in Mechanical Engineering, you can take admission in either BTech Mechanical Engineering or BTech Automobile Engineering. After taking a look at the details of each of the programs, you can choose whichever aligns more with your interest. I have listed the pros for both branches below.

Pros of LPU BTech Mechanical Engineering:

• International Credit Transfer Option, i.e. start your degree at LPU and finish it abroad at a foreign university.
• International ties with top foreign universities like Nottingham UK, Nantes University, NAU, etc.
• Option of selecting automobile engineering as an elective course.

Pros of LPU BTech Automobile Engineering:

• International Credit Transfer Option, i.e. start your degree at LPU and finish it abroad at a foreign university.
• International ties with the University of Huddersfield, UK.
