Hi,
Mechanical and electrical engineering are core branches of engineering.
Mechanical engineering is the discipline that applies the principles of engineering, physics, and materials Science for the design, analysis, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems. It is the branch of engineering that involves the design, production, and operation of machinery. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering disciplines. Mechanical engineers are employed in operations and Maintenance roles in manufacturing and services industry. It is an evergreen branch with no cyclic trend in job market.
Electrical engineering is a field of engineering that generally deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. Electrical engineering has now subdivided into a wide range of sub-fields including electronics, digital computers, power engineering, telecommunications, control systems, radio-frequency engineering, signal processing, instrumentation and microelectronics etc.
Electrical engineers are employed in operations and maintenance roles in manufacturing and services industry. Electrical engineers are also employed in electrical power generations such as atomic power plants, hydel or thermal power plants. Electrical engineers are also employed in power distribution and services companies. Job opportunities for electrical engineers are available in both private and public sector like railways, civil aviation, electricity board and utility companies, electrical design and consultancy firms.
In addition, mechanical and electrical engineers can join Indian Engineering Services, DRDO, ISO, Defence and paramilitary forces also. Mechanical and electrical engineers are also employed in teaching and R&D besides working as independent consultant.
Most of engineering college’s admission in mechanical and electrical engineering branches is based on entrance examinations after 12th with PCM subjects. You may refer to following link for information on all engineering colleges offering B.Tech mechanical and electrical engineering degree courses:
