How is a dual degree in mechanical engineering at IIT Bhubaneswar in comparison with NIT Surat (SVNIT) mechanical engineering?
Posted On - Jul 28, 2021I pursued my B.Tech Mechanical from SVNIT, thus, I can only comment on my college.
The faculty of the mechanical department is top notch. Majority of our teachers are highly driven. It is because of them that mechanical is the most famous branch of our college. Our teachers emphasize practical knowledge over mere theoretical understanding. Many of them have more than 10 years of experience in teaching. The department has enough professors, so very few courses are taken by TAs. The faculty is very helpful for projects and research work.
The curriculum for B.Tech Mechanical is very rich, and you’ll get to choose one elective per semester in the 3rd and 4th year. You can choose courses from other branches as well. You can choose management courses, programming courses, physics related courses, automobile courses, etc. SVNIT is probably the only college that teaches its students topics like Mechatronics, Computational fluid mechanics (CFD), Cryogenics, etc. at the UG level itself.
Unfortunately, like most other colleges, our practical syllabus and lab equipment needs to be upgraded. The labs do not contain equipment of the latest technology. The workshop contains all conventional and non conventional machines like lathe, shoper, milling, grinding, welding, abrasive jet machine, EDM, 3-D printer, etc.
As far as B.Tech Mechanical at SVNIT is concerned, I would say it is quite a decent option.
NIT Surat Mechanical Engineering is a better option among these. The institute has an excellent mechanical faculty. NIT Surat placements are also good for Mechanical. Each year around 80% of students get placed from the branch. The average CTC received by the students of Mechanical is around INR 6.09 LPA. While the highest CTC for the branch is around INR 19 LPA.
It is very important to get clear about the dual degree and whether it is available in both the institutes with the same branches or not.
SVNIT's mechanical branch is very good as the faculties are well experienced and they won't let you down in any circumstances and would be very supportive. They are quite good and would help in academics and non-academics things also.
From the placement perspective, the placement record of SVNIT mechanical engineering is quite high. Many core companies for the core branches like mechanical visit the campus for the on-campus placements. They also offer two student chapters to enhance and improve the student's technical skills.
IIT's are considered higher than the NIT's and are provided by more budget. Therefore, they have slightly more advantages than NIT.
