Is it possible for a student studying Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kharagpur to get placed in a decent coding company?

NG
Nikhil Goal Posted On : March 22nd, 2023
Mechanical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur (IIT KGP)

Honestly, a true coding lover needs not to worry too much about placements. They should just be good in what they do and certainly, an opportunity will come their way.

Let’s explain this through an example of a friend who was a graduate of Industrial Engineering and Management, IIT Kharagpur, and is currently in Amazon as a Software Development Engineer.

Owing to his Industrial Background, he faced backlash initially and couldn’t sit for placements in big companies like Adobe, Google, Microsoft, and Goldman Sachs. He then came across a startup company - BankBazaar that visited the campus on the 2nd day of placements and also had a coding test. He passed the test with flying Colors and 

for the first offer during that placement season.

Ever since then, he started receiving calls from top companies like Amazon, Google, Walmart Labs, etc. He soon joined Amazon and worked for a few years. Recently, he got a call from Goldman Sachs HR for the Goldman Sachs, Strategic Group. This came as a surprise since this company only prefers toppers from IITs and IIMs. It was his dream job to make mathematical models and program them. Fortunately, all his interviews went pretty well and in the end, he was introduced to the Managing Director of the Finance Division, at Goldman Sachs. who conducted a discussion on the projects he would be working on. 

After experiencing almost 3 years in the Software Industry, my friend only advised coding lovers to focus solely on their passions and let the world find them.

B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, National Institute of Technology Durgapur (2017)

As a Mechanical Engineering student at NIT Durgapur, I am listing down some important points about my branch-

  1. Mechanical has a busier schedule than the other branches.
  2. Some professors of Mechanical are good while some are rude.
  3. Mechanical students get more assignments. This branch will demand a lot of hard work from you.
  4. You can easily score well in Mechanical. However, you’ll have to manage your time well if you are planning to study for competitive exams side by side.
  5. You’ll face 25-hour lectures in a week, and extra classes will also be arranged. 
  6. B.Tech Mechanical recorded 84.05% placements during 2023. The students were placed at an average CTC of 9.72 LPA.

As per my personal experience, you can definitely consider B.Tech Mechanical from NIT Durgapur.

Should I go for DTU for mechanical or IIIT-Delhi for ECE?

DS
Darshan Sethi Posted On : October 5th, 2023
Lives in Delhi

I have friends in both the colleges DTU and IIIT Delhi so I can give you a comparative analysis of these colleges

  • IIIT Delhi charges almost double the fees of DTU, so if you have financial constraints, DTU is a better choice.
  • IIIT Delhi has a rigorous campus life and heavy workload sparing no time for extracurricular activities. 
  • DTU students score better CG even though they are involved in many nonacademic activities. A high CG score is crucial for MS or further studies and even more so during placements.
  • IIIT Delhi has a smaller batch size so it's easier to become part of any cultural competition because of quantitatively fewer people competing for the same.
  • DTU has a bigger campus and better infrastructure than IIIT Delhi which operates from a tiny campus.
  • Except for core electronics, you can almost pursue any career as a DTU student because of the free time you have. The mechanical societies of DTU are excellent.

The choice between the two is a matter of personal goals and inclinations.

Is branch change from Mining/Metallurgy to Chemical/Mechanical easy at VNIT Nagpur?

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : November 18th, 2023
B.tech from VNIT Nagpur

Your possibilities of a switch mainly depend on the number of vacant seats in the desired branch, and the merit of all those aiming for that same branch. 

But roughly, for Mechanical you need a score of 9.3 CGPA+ during your first year. On the other hand, for Chemical, you need 8.5 CGPA+. 

If you pay attention in the classroom, solve class assignments on time, and your concepts are clear, you can easily score well in your first year. The student notice board on the official college website releases the cutoffs for branch switch each year. 

This is the basic information regarding branch switch to Chemical/ Mechanical at VNIT. Branch switch at VNIT Nagpur isn’t difficult given that you work hard, and things work in your favor.

What is the highest package in mechanical engineering in IIT Kanpur?

SN
Saugata Nayak Posted On : April 19th, 2023
Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (2020)

If you are looking for monetary statistics, you are in the wrong place. IIT Kanpur does not release branch-wise placement statistics.

Packages hardly depend on the branch. Your performance throughout the 4 years and your small and big achievements determine the kind of packages you are offered.

Infact, even a CS student shouldn’t expect great packages if his grades are below average and he has not worked hard and gained knowledge and skills. Even Sundar Puchar was a metallurgy BTech student but today is the CEO of Google. 

The conclusion is that your branch does not determine your package, your grades do.

Is mechanical engineering at BITS Hyderabad good?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : December 19th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

The mechanical department of BITS Hyderabad has its own advantages and disadvantages. These are-

Advantages-

  1. The department faculty is quite decent, with the faculty members having published a sizable amount of their research work in esteemed journals like Elsevier, ResearchGate, etc. The department receives decent industry projects. 
  2. The research scholars are highly qualified, and their selection criteria has become more and more strict over the years. The department lays importance on industry relevant research. The research projects are receiving good funding, and research has become more relevant and of better quality.

Disadvantages-

  1. The department lacks good societies and clubs. Moreover, the students of Mechanical do not perform well in various competitions like BAJA, ESVC, HyperLoop, etc. The SAE society of Mechanical department is in a poor condition.
  2. The department students do not put much effort into learning advanced concepts, because of which very few of them get good coursework related projects under the faculty. The faculty in turn, has become more and more disinterested towards putting in extra efforts for the students. 

I would recommend you choose Mechanical Engineering at BITS Hyderabad only if you are interested in a research career. This is not the best option for on campus placement.

How are the placements of the mechanical branch at NIT Rourkela?

NT
Nivedita Trivedi Posted On : August 14th, 2023
NIT Rourkela (2020)

The placement scenario of the Mechanical branch of NIT Rourkela is great. Many core companies like Tata Steel, Vedanta, Tata Motors, Maruti - Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra visit the campus to recruit talented students as Graduate engineer Trainees. 

A few PSUs also visit NIT Rourkela to recruit students from one of the best NITs in the country. For instance, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (IOCL) visited the institute and recruited 4 Mechanical Engineering students. The core companies offer average packages of around INR 8 LPA.

Most students have to go for Analytics, Consultancy, and IT sectors due to limited opportunities in the Mechanical branch. Companies like TCS, Mu Sigma, Infosys, etc recruit such students.

Overall, the placement scenario of ME at NIT Rourkela might not be excellent but it is quite satisfactory.
