Mechanical Engineering: Prospects, Future and Institutes in India

2010 March 14

Mechanical engineering is one of oldest branch of engineering and this course is available in almost all engineering colleges across India. Mechanical engineering is really a broad field of engineering because of its application. It has application right from manufacturing plants, vehicles, ships, robots, heating and cooling systems, aircrafts, even in medical devices.

During the first year of Mechanical Engineering Degree students learn common engineering methods, mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering design. From second they are exposed to specialized subjects like mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials science, energy…etc. Mechanical Engineering students after graduation will have the knowledge of these engineering concepts and will be ready to use them for industry.

Mechanical Engineering have good prospects in industry as well as higher studies. Mechanical Engineering jobs don’t mean to work in a workshop like a labor. There are plenty of office work and because of vast application of computers in mechanical engineering. All designing and manufacturing process is automated and computerized. Therefore the job profile for mechanical engineering is almost similar to a computer engineer.

Every top university offering engineering courses have mechanical engineering and there is lot of research going on in very specialized fields of Mechanical Engineering. You can see a good amount of requirement for PhD and research students abroad.

Core Companies offering Mechanical Engineering Jobs: ISRO, DRDO, Indian Railway, ABB, TATA Motors, General Motors, Fiat, Reliance Industries, Reliance Power Ltd,
Asoka Leyland, Mahindra and Mahindra to name few.

Average Salary: 2.5~3.5 Lakh Rupees per annum

Institutes offering Mechanical Engineering Courses:
All IITs
All NITs
Almost All State universities and Private Engineering colleges
All Deemed universities

    sir what kind of packages are offered in mechanical engineering

  23. DINESH Permalink

    Plzzzz replyyy Sir…, **URGENT**
    I’m doing 3rd year Mech Engg and got specialisation in Manufacturing stream but not so good with design. And I’m interested to pursue my career in aeronautics stream. In what way (which further studies like MS/MTech) should I proceed with?
    I also have an opinion of doin a job for 2years and then complete MBA. Which would be better for a sound life?
    As a bottom line I’d like to add I’ve good grades so far and I’ve the confidence of excelling in whatever may be the stream you opt me.
