IIEST, Shibpur formerly known as BESU is doing really well in all the departments. Whether it is about faculty or infrastructure it is growing steadily and gradually.
But as one wants to take a deeper look in comparing mechanical engineering, EE and ETC, let’s take a look on it:

The college is very good for students interested in any of the three departments as mentioned. All the three mentioned departments are very good in IIEST. The thing that matters is your interest and will.
The mechanical department at NIT Surathkal is hands down the best among most of the NITS and some of the new IITs as well. Given below is some of the information regarding the Mechanical department in NIT Surathkal.
Pros:
Cons:
According to few reviews, the syllabus of Mechanical Engineering is at NIT Surathkal is outdated. However, it is the same with most of the institutes.
You should read more about the college and its curriculum before coming to any conclusion.
IIT Bombay and IIT Madras were established in 1958 and 1959 respectively. Both these institutions have emerged as highly renowned centers of Engineering studies in India. Both IIT Bombay and IIT Madras are more than an institution, they are in fact a brand with a high relevance and strong network in the industry.
The ‘Bombay’ or ‘Madras’ is a part of this brand name. This is not the address of these institutions, as both these cities have long been renamed as Mumbai and Chennai respectively. The institution name has not been altered because of the prestige and legacy carried by both these titles.
Thus, IIT Bombay and IIT Madras haven’t been renamed over the years.
IIT Hyderabad and IIT Madras are some of the most prestigious engineering institutes in India. There’s a huge competition to get into either of them, and both accept JEE Advanced results for B.Tech admissions.
Here is a comparison between B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad and B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras-
Parameters | B.Tech EEE at IIT Hyderabad | B.Tech Mechanical at IIT Madras |
---|---|---|
Highest Package (2023) | INR 63.78 LPA | INR 66.26 LPA |
Average Package (2023) | INR 20.07 LPA | INR 15.92 LPA |
Top Recruiters on Campus | Google, Oracle, Deloitte, Paytm, Accenture, Jio, Razorpay, L&T, Paypal, KPM. | Texas Instruments, Bajaj Auto Ltd, Cetak Ltd, Qualcomm, and others. |
Total Fee | INR 8 Lakh | INR 2.15 Lakh (1st Yr Fee) |
Curriculum | Microwave Engineering, Communication Theory, Semiconductor Packaging Technology, Introduction to Automated Testing, VLSI Digital Signal Processing. | Functions of Several Variables, Physics 1, Thermodynamics, Introduction to Programming, Chemistry, Engineering Mechanics, etc. |
Both the options offer equally good academics and placements. But if Mechanical Engineering truly interests you, I would suggest you opt for IIT Madras without second thoughts. Take some time and thoroughly think about your interest and passion before choosing one branch over the other.
As far as the placement reports say, placement for mechanical engineering in NIT Raipur varies in between 70%-80%. Although the placements are not as high as IT/CSE branch when compared with mechanical engineering. But yes, there is a most essential perk of job security in the mechanical engineering branch which most of today’s software companies and startups lack.
Now moving from core to non-core campus visitors in the fields of Software & Analytics for all the branches, the package offered is usually very low around 3.5–5 LPA.
Some companies like BPCL AND HPCL have strict rules of allowing only topper of some branches to appear for the placements. Whereas Coal India does not have vacancies for mechanical every year.
Though, the job openings for Mechanical Engineers are always there. This is a reason why Mechanical is called an evergreen branch. Moreover, placements everywhere on the country’s economic situation.
Don't go for placement packages, it may disappoint you. Just keep a good CPI and be conceptually strong, you will surely end up in good companies like Tata and Maruti.
First of all you need to lose this ideology that mechanical has more scope and mining has less scope. Every field has top notch research going in it and provides dynamic and challenging work opportunities.
I also had the same dilemma and I chose Mining at IIT Kharagpur over other departments for to following reasons:-
As a second year B.Tech Mechanical Student at IIT Bhubaneswar, I can provide some insight on the benefits of joining my college for this particular course:
Here are some other factors like ranking, fee, and placement for comparing Mechanical Engineering at the three IITs:
Parameter | IIT Bhubaneswar | IIT Gandhinagar | IIT Mandi |
---|---|---|---|
NIRF 2024 Engineering Ranking | 26 | 8 | 20 |
Total Tuition Fees | INR 8 lakh | INR 8 lakh | INR 8 lakh |
Average Package | INR 12.57 LPA | INR 19.60 LPA | INR 15.96 LPA |
Median Package | INR 15 LPA | INR 9 LPA | INR 14.10 LPA |
Top Recruiters | Amazon, BYJU’s, Gojek, Unacademy, Mathworks, Goldman Sachs | Jio, Oracle, Larsen & Toubro, Deloitte, Infosys | Flipkart, 1mg, Microsoft, Uber, Amazon, Walmart |
As a student of IIT Bhubaneswar, I can assure you that our institution is a good choice for Mechanical Engineering. You’ll be provided with good research facilities, labs, and an experienced faculty.
If you are certain about your branch choice, then go for Civil at IIT Kanpur. If you aren’t sure about the branch then choosing IIT Kanpur among these three IITs will be better. In 2021, NIRF ranked IIT Kanpur #6 in the country. Although it’s not easy you can change your branch after a year. But you can’t change your college.
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.
One of my friends studied in the PSG Mechanical branch. In his opinion, both the colleges are well known and quite famous for Mechanical Engineering. Let me state some facts about them which might help you decide.
Categories | Mechanical Engineering at PSG | Mechanical Engineering at NIT Trichy |
Course Fee | 2 lakh | 5.65 lakh |
Highest CTC | 9 LPA | 15 LPA |
Average CTC | 5 LPA | 9 LPA |
Recruiting Companies | Caterpillar, Bajaj, Nissan, L&T, etc. | L&T, Reliance, GE, Tata, etc. |
NIT Trichy develops your physical as well as holistic personality. It makes you confident with all the extracurricular activities it has to offer. Nit Trichy would be better overall and will definitely help you grow as an individual.
Artificial Intelligence is a specialization that is expected to be in high demand in the near future and its scope is yet to be determined. I don’t think it’s safe to go for a newly launched field that too from a new IIT. The program and institution both lack the necessary credibility. I would recommend you go for a general branch at a new IIT, a specialization like AI from a well-reputed institute. There are many factors one should consider like faculty, subject content, etc before going for a new specialization.
Mechanical at IIT Guwahati on the other hand is a very safe choice considering the high credibility of the long-standing Institute.
