Although the Punjab University was established as early as 1882, its UIET, the engineering department was established in 2002. Here are a few highlights pertaining to Mechanical Engineering at UIET

  • Curriculum: UIET Mechanical Engineering has a decent course structure at par with top NITs and some IITs. Exclusive subjects like Finite Element Methods,  Robotics,  Mechatronics, and Automatic Controls are taught in this branch.
  • Faculty: Most of the professors are learned and experienced although you will find some average teachers too.
  • Extracurriculars: UIET is well-known for its dynamic campus life owing to a variety of events. Students here can be seen participating in the national level events organized by the Society of Automotive Engineers(SAE) such as BAJA, Efficycle, etc. Occasionally events like AAVISHKAR and GOONJ are held in addition to other cultural and literary fests.

Currently, it’s visited by companies like Honda, HMEL, Technip, Oceaneering, Mondelez International, ZS Associates, DESL, JSW, Nestle, etc 

In all, UIET focuses on the holistic development of its students thereby helping you grow as a person thanks to its lively hostel and campus life.

What is the rank of CUSAT in India?

SK
Shishir Kharbanda Posted On : April 5th, 2021
B. Tech(Hons) Civil Engineering, Cochin University Of Science and Technology (2018)

Firstly, you should clearly know that CUSAT ranks in the Top 100 Universities in India. In 2017, it ranked #36 and from then in 2021 it has climbed down to #62. Nevertheless, it is still a good university because of the number of published research works and a few of its excellent departments. 

Since a university is judged on different parameters of academic excellence, faculty, facilities, tuition costs, etc; it'll be unjust on highlighting it solely on the basis of its rank. The courses it offers must be judged on the same parameters. So here are some highlights-

  • The engineering department is distributed in two campuses- the first is in SOE in Kochi and the CUCEK, which is known as the second campus is in Alleppey.
  • Within these, some of the branches like Naval Architecture, Fire and Safety, Information Technology, and Computer Science are highly competitive and get good placements with names like TCS, Wipro, Infosys, Cisco, etc.

Here is a placement table as well-

Batch

2020

Number of Offers Received

300

Number of Students Placed

595

Number of Companies Participated

35

Highest Package Offered

INR 24 LPA

Lowest Package Offered

INR 4.7 LPA

Top Recruiters

Cisco, Larsen and Toubro, TCS

So as you see, 595 students have placed last year and the CUSAT placement officer Jacob Elias informed that more than students have been offered more than 17 LPA in 2020 and this year some have been placed with an amount of over INR 44 LPA.

What is the average package in NIT Raipur for Mechanical engineering??

GH
Gagan Harjai Posted On : March 31st, 2021
Studied Computer Science and Engineering at National Institute of Technology, Raipur (2021)

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.

  • The automobile companies like Maruti Suzuki India Limited, Tata Motors, and Fiatwhich visit NIT Raipur for campus placements all give packages more or less between 5.5–6 LPA.
  • Vedanta Resources do provide a better package than automobiles but their package includes a large amount of variable pay which depends on individual as well as company performance.
  • So in the long run they are paid more or less the same as automobile placed people get.
  • PSUs like Coal India Limited, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) which visit NIT Raipur are among those few ones who actually increase the average by providing a very good pay scale of 10–12 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.

How is IIT Bhubaneswar for an MTech along with GATE preparation?

AP
Anuj Patel Posted On : January 8th, 2021
B.Tech CSE IIT Bhubaneswar 2019

The IIT Bhubaneswar is indeed a preferable choice for Mtech along with GATE preparation. One of my friends did the same and got selected in ISRO, BARC, and NPCIL. Though, full-time preparation will not be possible as time has to be given for Mtech too. Most of the faculties are very supportive of job-seeking students, though not all.

  • The best time for preparation is during the weekend when the classes are off. You can also spend a few hours daily on weekdays for the preparation after the classes. 
  • There is also an ample amount of free time available after the completion of each semester.
  • The most inspiring aspect of pursuing Mtech along with GATE preparation is the syllabus of MTech. It covers a lot of topics such as advanced thermodynamics, advanced heat transfer, etc which are helpful for the preparation of GATE. 
  • Various of my friend's classmates also got selected in various organizations such as IES, IOCL, BARC, ISRO, OPSC, ONGC, BPCL, etc. The students who failed to get selected through GATE got placed through IIT BBS placement.

So, if you are thinking of preparing for GATE, along with your MTech, you should definitely go for IIT Bhubaneswar.

How is the PGDM executive (fulltime) course of IMT Ghaziabad? How are the placements? How is it compared to IIM Shillong and SPJAIN PGPM?

RL
Rishabh Luthra Posted On : February 16th, 2023
MBA in Finance (college major), Institute of Management Technology, Ghaziabad (Graduated 2018)

An executive course is a one-year MBA degree for working professionals, whereas a full-time PGDM is for two regular years, like all other MBA degrees. The executive course at IMT Ghaziabad is quite good. They have concise and to-the-point courses and complete almost the whole two-year program in one year. Placements for executive students may not be as many, as most of them are already working, but they do help in placements for other students.

If you choose to pursue a correspondence course, it does not matter as much where you pursue it.

IIM Shillong, being an IIM, has its own prestige. But when compared to all B-schools Rankings, IMT Ghaziabad is definitely higher up the charts than IIM Shillong or SPJAIN PGDM. If given the option, it would be better to choose IMT Ghaziabad or IIM Shillong over SPJAIN PGDM. If you are looking for a campus experience, Ghaziabad would be a better personal preference.
