What is the prospect of production engineering in NIT Trichy?

HB

Himani Bose

23 Mar 21

Many people think that production engineering is mechanical minus thermodynamics. Which is not true. Production engineering is completely different from mechanical as the subjects are different.

My friend is currently in the 4th year of production engineering, NIT Trichy and according to him, it doesn’t really have a good prospect. Here’s why:

  • While other departments have 6 subjects per semester you’ll be having 7. This can get quite hectic for you at times.
  • Despite so much hard work, placements are not good at all. You will never be treated equally to your mechanical friends, however good your profile is.
  • Although you can go into most of the mechanical engineering fields like automobiles, industrial tools making, etc. you will be paid lesser than your mechanical engineer mates.

However, if you are planning for higher studies and research, then production is a very good choice. Being a production engineer opens up the manufacturing, industrial, and mechanical higher study options too. So, if placement after B.Tech. is your focus, please look elsewhere but if you are into higher studies then surely go for it. Choose wisely.

Is production engineering good in NIT Jamshedpur?

AS

Ashish Singh

20 Apr 21

Yes, both Production and Industrial Engineering of NIT Jamshedpur is a good department. Apart from your academics, you get time to work on your self-development. There is not much pressure on academics. 

After completing your studies in production engineering at NIT Jamshedpur, several opportunities will open for you. Let’s take a look at the future in Production Engineering.

  1. Data Analysis: Data Analysis is one of the popular fields in which students opt. You can also enhance your skill by doing an online course. Companies such as Excel, Futures First, Mu-Sigma, Tredence, etc have NIT Production Engineering students as their employees.
  2. IT Sector: If you have strong coding skills, then you can get recruitment in Wipro, Capgemini companies.
  3. Core Field: If you wish to study mechanical engineering and opting for production engineering is a stepping stone, you could definitely shift branches. They both have subjects like quality control, supply chain management, manufacturing engineering, etc. Thus the branch usually does not matter if you hone the skills properly.
  4. Competitive Exams: You can also appear for GRE/GATE/ESE exams. Mechanical students too can sit for competitive exams such as GATE/ESE.
  5. Further Studies: You can also go for higher studies, such as MBA, M.Tech, PhD. The government also launched several schemes for scholarships for PhD students.
  6. Business: After completing your studies in Production Engineering you can also start your own business putting your unique ideas at work.
  7. Other Jobs: You can also go to the creative field. There are lots of creative fields in which Engineering students are opting including film making, content writing, graphic designing, stand-up comedy, etc. These jobs are rewarding and in demand too.

Therefore, you can NIT Jamshedpur, as it is a good college. They have good facilities, average faculty, good hostel, good sports facilities, including basketball, football, etc. You can also join clubs which will help you in enhancing managerial as well as technical skills. NIT Jamshedpur also has a canteen, library, internet facility, and organizes cultural fests. 

Its placement record is also good. The average salary students are offered is INR 12 LPA.

Which is better- IEM in Ms. Ramaiah or EEE in Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering?

SR

Sushmita Raj

17 Sept 21

After doing some research online, I would suggest not to go for IEM at Ramaiah, until and unless you are extremely interested in studying that particular subject. Since it will not pay you anything and you will eventually wind up in the same category of mass placement at one of the service-based companies. 

Double-check the topics you will be studying. EEE is usually less exposed than IEM, yet EEE is regarded as the most complex branch to be studied. 

The majority of EEE / ECE / other branches receive job offers from Infosys, HCL, Accenture, or Tech Mahindra.

Parameters IEM at Ms. Ramaiah EEE at Dayanand Sagar College of Engineering
Tuition Fees INR 3.47 lakh  INR 10 lakh
Placement Percentage 95% 70%
Highest Package 13 LPA 15 LPA
Average Package 7.6 LPA INR 8 LPA

So, what is the point of learning core Electronics if all you have to do at the conclusion of your engineering degree is code? If you want to build a career, think seriously about the branch you select. Regardless of the institution you attend, I believe EEE is far superior to IEM. Pursue EEE only if you are truly passionate about the subject.

How is production engineering at nit calicut?

SS

Shaurya Singh

25 Mar 21

You must know what you are getting yourself into. The mechanical engineering department of NITC offers 2 BTech courses that are Mechanical and Production. Both of these departments share faculties, labs, some courses, and other facilities. But at the end of the day, both are different courses.

There are two types of people seen in Production Engineering at NITC:

  1. Students who wanted to study mechanical, but didn’t have the rank for it or could only get mechanical at other NITs. Production is after all similar to mechanical.
  2. Students who didn’t have an appropriate rank to choose a branch/college of their choice, but still wanted to study in an NIT.

There are few things that students commonly felt during their days:

  • Students are often seen saying that they should get mechanical equivalent certificates. There is no purpose in saying this as they are two different branches.
  • Students also complain that teachers are biased. Few teachers refrain from teaching students from production batches. Mechanical batches are taught mostly by permanent faculty while production batches get guest faculties.
  • There are very few placement opportunities for Production batches in comparison with Mechanical. Core companies are even fewer.
  • The students of Production are often isolated from other batches of students. They are allotted spare rooms.

So in the end one can say that, if the student truly wants to be a mechanical engineer, then this college probably isn’t for you. If they just want the NIT experience, then they should know what options they will have after college.

Computer science is a rapidly evolving field, and as a student, you will have the opportunity to learn about the latest advancements and trends in the industry.

However, before making a decision, it is important to figure out if you have a genuine interest in either of the programs. You can read a few blogs and articles about computer science and any other program you are considering to find out which one sounds more interesting to you. It can also be helpful to talk to a few IIT pass-outs from both of these majors and observe their career growth.

If you still find it difficult to choose, taking a blind leap of faith and studying computer science can be a great decision. Computer science is a versatile field, and a degree in this area can open doors to various job opportunities in the IT industry. The demand for computer science professionals is high, and it is a field that promises a good salary, job security, and career growth.

Overall, the choice between computer science and any other program ultimately depends on your interests, career aspirations, and personal goals. If you have a genuine interest in computer science and are willing to put in the effort, then it can be a great choice to pursue.

Which would be better to take from NIT Trichy: instrumentation and control or production?

AB

Anirban Biswas

04 Sept 21

I know a little bit about ISI Kolkata since I have a few friends from the institute. Here is what you should know about the internships between semesters. 

The course curriculum specifies that in the summer after completing your first year of M.Tech, you have to do an internship either in the industry or academia. You will have 3 options. 

Industry:

  • Many companies that visit the Campus for placements of 2nd-year students also select interns for the same.
  • Some of such companies are Samsung Research Labs, Google, General Electric, Reliance, Flipkart, De Shaw, JP Morgan Chase, etc.
  • The average stipend offered last year was 65,000 rupees/month.
  • Some companies offer more than 1 lakh/month. One of my friends interned at Samsung Research Labs.

Academia:

  • As per ISI guidelines, you need to pursue an internship at a different academic Institute or industry.
  • A friend of mine went to NUS Singapore, while two others went to a university in Germany. You can also apply to other institutes in Japan, USA, and Europe. People also go to IITs, CMI, and other Tier-1 Institutes of India.

Within ISI:

If for some reason you could not get an internship in the above-mentioned ways, you can approach any of the 250+ faculty members across all 5 ISI‘s and can ask to work with them in their labs.

You will have internships at the end of the first year. In the second year, you will have placements, dissertation, academics. So, the only time left to do an additional internship is the winter break after the first sem. Unless you are extremely enthusiastic, I will suggest that you take a break during this period. Because after the break you will be swamped with coursework for 1.5 years.

Should I choose BIT Mesra or NIT Agartala for production engineering?

VK

Vineet Kumar

20 Apr 21

BIT Mesra is hands down a better choice over NIT Agartala. A few of my friends have studied at both BIT Mesra and NIT Agartala. Following points are based on their respective experience:

  • BIT has an amazing infrastructure, facilities, brand value, and student culture. Hostels are well maintained and are connected with High-speed internet facilities. The campus has a student-friendly ambiance and the weather at Ranchi is top-notch.
  • The curriculum is well balanced and up-to-date with today's technological trends. Apart from studies, the institute even focuses on various personality development and career counseling programs.
  • Many core companies visit the campus frequently and IT companies are always there for backup in the worst-case scenario so that you will not remain unplaced. 
  • The only factor in which NIT Agartala seems better is in terms of tuition fees. BIT Mesra has twice the fee of NIT Agartala but it is justified for the quality of education, infrastructure, and facilities they provide.

Quick comparison:

Is there any scope in industrial and production engineering in NIT Jalandhar?

RS

Rohit Sharma

05 Jan 23

Whatever the scope of the industry, the "average pack" one receives is determined by one's skills and abilities, not by the degree or institution.

Choose one track to which you can relate. Then, work hard to gain knowledge and skills so that you can one day demonstrate your worth to a selection board.
