Why should I take Production Engineering at NIT Trichy?
Production Engineering has a majority of Mechanical syllabus but the value of both the degrees is piles apart. One of my friends was a student of Production Engineering and he completed his graduation in 2013. Today, he is working in a PSU NTPC. He told me that a student who does BTech in Production Engineering has a variety of future aspects some of which have been listed below
- You can sit for placements for companies like Hero Motocorp, Honda, Hyundai, Ashok Leyland, etc. but not if you are looking for a job in public sector companies.
- You can go for PSUs that accept this degree like
- NTPC, SAIL, BHEL, ISRO, Vizag Steel, NPCIL, etc.
- If you have an interest in CS, you can also target your IT/software or Data analyst profiles which are available in abundance during placements.
- You can prepare for competitive exams like CAT/GRE if you plan to pursue an MBA or MS.
- You can steer your career towards entrepreneurship which does not require a very high-level degree.
These were some of the options and reasons why you can take Production Engineering at NIT Trichy.

Which would be better to take from NIT Trichy: instrumentation and control or production?
I know a little bit about ISI Kolkata since I have a few friends from the institute. Here is what you should know about the internships between semesters.
The course curriculum specifies that in the summer after completing your first year of M.Tech, you have to do an internship either in the industry or academia. You will have 3 options.
Industry:
- Many companies that visit the Campus for placements of 2nd-year students also select interns for the same.
- Some of such companies are Samsung Research Labs, Google, General Electric, Reliance, Flipkart, De Shaw, JP Morgan Chase, etc.
- The average stipend offered last year was 65,000 rupees/month.
- Some companies offer more than 1 lakh/month. One of my friends interned at Samsung Research Labs.
Academia:
- As per ISI guidelines, you need to pursue an internship at a different academic Institute or industry.
- A friend of mine went to NUS Singapore, while two others went to a university in Germany. You can also apply to other institutes in Japan, USA, and Europe. People also go to IITs, CMI, and other Tier-1 Institutes of India.
Within ISI:
If for some reason you could not get an internship in the above-mentioned ways, you can approach any of the 250+ faculty members across all 5 ISI‘s and can ask to work with them in their labs.
You will have internships at the end of the first year. In the second year, you will have placements, dissertation, academics. So, the only time left to do an additional internship is the winter break after the first sem. Unless you are extremely enthusiastic, I will suggest that you take a break during this period. Because after the break you will be swamped with coursework for 1.5 years.
How do I choose between IIT Delhi engineering physics, civil, production & industrial, and chemical engineering?
I will restrict my answer to Engineering Physics and Chemicals only as I know the same only.
- The major criterion followed at IIT Delhi by all the branches is a well-maintained CG. To secure good placements one has to constantly score a good CG throughout the program.
- During your admission, the department does not play any role but your 85 percent constraint on minimum possible strength does.
- Engineering Physics is a unique branch for those highly passionate about Physics and want to pursue higher studies in the same
- To secure core jobs, one has to move to MTech in Engineering Physics from BTech in Engineering Physics.
- For Chemical Engineering students, BTech is more than enough to secure decent packages and great research opportunities outside India.
- Consultancy and Analytics jobs are offered equally to students of all the departments
- Engineering Physics graduates usually take up consultancy or IT jobs
- Chemical Engineering is the most laid-back department of IIT Delhi with very flexible academics thus making it easy to maintain a decent CG throughout.
I wouldn’t suggest anyone go for Engineering Physics if they have no intention of pursuing it later. Instead, look for other options in BTech and explore your interests.
How is production engineering at BIT Mesra?
I am an alumnus of BIT Mesra and pursued my B.E. in Production Engineering from this institution. In my opinion, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is an excellent course.
BIT Mesra Production Engineering faculty is learned and supportive at the same time. If you want a job in the manufacturing/production industry, the curriculum over there is useful and interesting. However, a few topics in the curriculum are obsolete and an update is required with the advancement in technology and production practices.
Production Engineering at BIT Mesra has an almost negligible workload when compared to the other branches. The faculty is not as strict with quizzes and assignment submissions. With some effort, you will perform quite well academically.
Placement-wise, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is not an ideal branch. However, the top 10-15 students have a great chance of getting placed during campus recruitment. Not a good number of firms and industries related to this branch show up during campus recruitments. However, your skills and hard work will also determine your fate. During 2022, the placements for Production Engineering were decent with 33 students getting out of 42 registered students (and 36 eligible students).
Thus, Production Engineering at BIT Mesra is a really good stream, but not an ideal one in terms of placements.
Which one is better: mechanical engineering at IIT Roorkee or production and industrial engineering at IIT Delhi?
I am a student of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee. Both IIT Delhi and IIT Roorkee are top engineering colleges, so the choice should be based on which stream would be the best for you.
Here is a comparison between Mechanical Engineering at IIT Roorkee and Production and Industrial Engineering at IIT Delhi-
| Parameter | Mechanical at IITR | Production & Industrial Engg. at IITD |
|---|---|---|
| Scope of Study | Design, Manufacturing,Thermal Sciences, and more. | Production Systems, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, and Industrial Engineering Principles. |
| NIRF Engineering Ranking 2024 | 6 | 2 |
| Median Package | INR 17 LPA | INR 20.50 LPA |
| Recruiting Companies on campus | Accenture, Adobe, CITI Bank, Facebook, Honda Cars, IBM,Oracle, PayPal, TATA, and others. | Google, Microsoft, ICICI Bank, Anheuser-Busch Inbev, JP Morgan, Case and Corporation, and others. |
| Level of Difficulty | More Difficult and Time Consuming | Comparatively Easier. Will spare you time for coding and hobbies. |
If Mechanical Engineering interests you, I would suggest you choose IIT Roorkee. It is a great institution, and you'll get plenty of learning on campus.
Which is a better option: aerospace engineering in IIT Kanpur or production and industrial engineering in IIT Delhi?
IIT Kanpur has several advantages over IIT Delhi. A few are mentioned below:
- Unlike IIT Delhi, branch change facility is not restricted to the first year only and one can change branches even after the 2nd year
- IIT Kanpur offers an enriched campus life with great relations between students as well as students and faculty.
- There are no LAN restrictions at IIT Kanpur whereas, IIT Delhi restricts usage of LAN from 1 a.m. to 6 a.m.
Lastly, once you enter IIT, your branch rarely matters. Your placements solely depend on your CG, your skills, and the efforts you invested throughout. So, go for a branch that matches your area of interest and you are good to go.
