Should you pick ME Thermal Engineering at Jai Narain Vyas University?
This course suits students who want core thermal work in a public university setting.
Pick it if:
You want core heat work: Jodhpur has workshops and energy sites, so thermal projects feel useful.
Your family wants low fees: the full course fee is INR 1.60 Lakhs, so loan pressure stays low.
You have a valid GATE score: JNVU can use it before the university entrance test route.
You want a small batch: the seat list shows 25 seats, so project attention can be closer.
Skip it if:
You want only software jobs: the course is built around heat, energy and machines, not coding placements.
You need a yearly salary table: the university does not publish a branch placement report every year.
You need private hostel comfort: government hostel rooms are basic and depend on room supply.
You cannot visit Jodhpur: the seat is confirmed only after papers and the first fee.
Counsellor's advice
Pick this course if you want thermal jobs or a GATE-backed PG seat. Skip it if you need software placements.

In short
MBM University costs less and pays more on average, but its score is tougher. If your score clears both, take MBM University; if it clears only JNVU, take this seat.
In short
Rajasthan Technical University has more seats and a higher placement rate, but it costs more. If JNVU gives you a seat first, take the lower fee.
In short
Vivekananda Global University has the same fee in this row but lower pay and fewer seats. If JNVU allots you a seat, keep it above this option.
In short
Poornima University has more seats, but the fee is higher and the average pay is lower. If money matters, keep JNVU above it.
In short
JECRC University is cheaper and has more seats, but its average pay is lower. If JNVU fits your score, take JNVU for the public university fee.
Fees and pay can change. Check each college site before you decide.
FAQs on Jai Narain Vyas University ME Thermal Engineering
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is ME Thermal Engineering at this college worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who get placed. The full fee without hostel is INR 1.60 Lakhs and the last batch averaged INR 4.5 LPA, so the fee comes back within the first working year. If a loan will pay the fee, read the EMI line in the fee block above before you decide.
Should I take this seat if my score is just above the cutoff score?▾
Not on last year's number alone. The General Rajasthan quota seat closed at score 12,400 in last list and it got tougher three years in a row, so a score that just cleared last year may miss this year. Keep this college in your list with a safer college above it, and use the score checker above for your own category.
What job will I get after this course?▾
Most students get software jobs with product and IT services companies that hire on campus in the seventh semester. The Class of 2025 averaged INR 4.5 LPA, the median was INR 4 LPA and 38% of the batch was placed. If you want a core electronics job instead, this branch is not the right pick.
Who should not take this course here?▾
Skip it if you need a single room from the first year, or if you want internships in a big city. First-years share three to a room and single rooms open only from year 3. The campus is in a small industrial town, so the placement cell brings most internships and few come on their own. If either of these matters more than the placement figures, pick a city college.
Is this course good for higher studies and research?▾
Yes, if you plan for it from year 2. The course has no minor and no specialisation before year 3, but the electives in year 3 and 4 cover machine learning and networks, and the final project can lead to a research paper. Talk to the department in year 2 about a project with a faculty member, because that is what a good master's application needs.
Should I wait a year and try for a better score?▾
Only if you can raise your score by a lot, not a little. The General cutoff score got tougher three years in a row, so a small gain may still miss the seat next year. If you already clear this year's cutoff, take the seat now and try a branch change after year 1 if you want a sibling branch.
Will I get placed if I am in the bottom half of the batch?▾
Most likely yes, but later and at a lower package. 38% of the last batch was placed, and the median of INR 4 LPA is lower than the average of INR 4.5 LPA because the last students take the smaller offers. Keep your CGPA above the cutoff the companies set, usually 7, and join the placement training the cell holds in year 3.
Is this branch better than ECE at this college for me?▾
Pick ME Thermal if you want a software job and ECE if you want a core electronics job. ME Thermal places a bigger share of its batch with product companies, and its cutoff score is the tougher of the two. If you get ECE now and want ME Thermal, the branch change after year 1 needs a top CGPA, so do not count on it.
How do I get admission to this course?▾
Take the GATE or JNVU entrance exam and fill this college in your JNVU counselling choice list. A seat comes in the list your score clears, and you must accept it and pay the seat fee within the days JNVU counselling gives. Then report with your papers on the date in the admission dates block above, or you lose the seat.
What is the full fee for the course?▾
The full 2-year fee is INR 1.60 Lakhs without hostel. With hostel and mess it comes to INR 2.80 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above, and the toggle there shows what the hostel adds each year.
Can I pay the fee in parts?▾
Yes. You pay the tuition fee semester by semester, so the money is never due all at once. If you need smaller parts than that, write to the fee office before the semester starts; the request opens every August.
Do I get the fee back if I drop the seat?▾
It depends on when you leave. If you leave before the counselling body's exit date, most of the fee comes back. If you leave after it, the college keeps a part, so read the refund table in the fee block before you pay.
