Should I choose mechanical or civil engineering?

SA
Saransh Agarwal Posted On : February 22nd, 2022
B.Tech Mechanical Engineering & Cars and Automobiles, Sikkim Manipal University (2016)

Mechanical and Civil Engineering are core branches of engineering and both offer good future prospects. You should choose one according to your interest. 

  • Both Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering require good knowledge of Applied and Material Physics. If you are interested in Physics, you should consider other branches of engineering. 
  • Even though the base of these branches is Physics, the syllabus differs widely. So you should take a look at the syllabus for both branches before choosing one. 
  • Talk to the people who are currently working in these domains and get to know what exactly they are doing. This can help you a lot to select the right course for you.
  • It will be better if you take a look at the M.Tech syllabuses for both branches as well. This will clear your vision in case you want to pursue higher studies in the future.
  • You will get decent job opportunities from either of these branches. There are govt sector jobs as well as the private sector. 

So, factor in all these points and see what interests you more.

Studied at Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani

BITS Pilani recently concluded its placement drive for this year and the average package stood at INR 30.37 LPA whereas the highest package stood at INR 60.75 LPA. 

The Institute does not release branch-wise packages and thus I consulted a friend who was a part of the BITS Pilani placement drive 2021. As per the information obtained from her, around 80% of the students of the mechanical branch got placed. The average salary package offered was 13 LPA and the highest salary package offered was 40 LPA by Daikin for the mechanical course. Decent roles were offered to students of this branch.

Have I done a mistake in choosing IIT Delhi mechanical over DTU CS? I preferred to do CS, but due to ego, I chose IIT Delhi.

SG
Sushmita Gupta Posted On : April 1st, 2023
studied at Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi

I don’t think anyone choosing IIT Delhi over any other engineering college has made a wrong decision given the opportunities and life experiences that come with it. While both are crucial, your choice of Institute is more important than your branch. 

Here is a friend's journey for your reference l was a BTech student (Civil) at IIT BHU with a rank of 3600. 

  • First, he completed a Nanodegree program from Udacity in Self Driving Cars and Machine learning
  • Next, he worked as a Derivative Trader in Future First where he performed Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
  • After gaining great experience and exposure he joined Quantela Inc for 2 Years where he worked as a Data Scientist.
  • Today, after a lot of job switches and immense experience he is working at Derq in Dubai as a Machine Learning Scientist and doing Online MS from Georgia Tech University in Computer Science.

This journey of a 7-pointer Civil Branch student to a high-tech CS company proves that branch does not matter in the end. He made the most of his campus life and kept struggling to switch his branch and eventually succeeded. That being said, you have made the right decision as only IIT Delhi can give you the right set of opportunities and exposure and not DTU.

Which is better: BITS Pilani Hyd mechanical or VIT Vellore CS?

DS
Divya Saraf Posted On : June 28th, 2023
Lives in Hyderabad

Rather than focusing on the institutes, it’s best to give importance to your branch. I know a friend who gave up on BITS Hyderabad Mechanical production for core Mechanical at VIT. When I asked her the reason she told me that for her it was the branch that mattered more and VIT offered the branch of her choice.

So I will advise you to do the same. Analyze where your interests lie and choose the institute accordingly.
