Ans. BE Mechanical Engineering graduates from SCEM are recruited by companies in manufacturing, IT services, and core engineering sectors. Recruiters who visit SCEM for campus placements include Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and regional manufacturing firms based in coastal Karnataka. Mechanical graduates may also find employment in companies in the automobile, shipbuilding, and process industries active in the Mangaluru port and industrial zone. Students with higher KCET or GATE scores often pursue M.Tech admission at government engineering colleges in Karnataka after graduation.

Ans. BE Mechanical Engineering at SCEM typically has relatively accessible KCET cutoff ranks compared to CSE and ECE, as Mechanical is a less-demanded branch among recent KCET aspirants. Students with general category ranks in the range of 50,000 to 1,00,000 have historically found Mechanical seats at SCEM available in the later counselling rounds. The official KEA round-wise cutoff lists published after each allotment round are the authoritative reference for KCET 2026-27 seat planning at SCEM Mangalore.
