Hi there, being an alumnus I would like to share some of the crucial points of Automobile Engineering: Automobile Engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with designing, manufacturing, mechanical mechanisms as well operations of automobiles. It is also an introduction to vehicle engineering which includes cars, motorcycles, trucks and buses etc. The chances of you getting placed at a company solely depend upon you and not on anybody else for that matter. There is no set package that you receive after graduating. Job is used to sustain yourself while doing what you love. It isn't like that you provide money to the college to spend 4 years and after that, you get a job. You are getting educated and universities are not some job agencies so stop looking at a degree like that. Anyways, LPU gives great placements to capable students of automobile engineering. PLACEMENTS: The maximum package availed by students at LPU in the Automobile Engineering programme is 10 LPA from Hettich India, Intellipat. The majority opt for Teaching/Research. Students get internships at Tata Motors Jamshedpur, Century Pulp & paper, Aeolus Aero-Tech Pvt Ltd, Volvo Eicher Commercial Vehicles, Sonalika Agro Solutions Tractors Ltd, Chopra Industries PVT LTD, Ultratech cement Limited, Shiroki Technico India PVT limited, Imperial Society of innovative engineer, Air India, Kartar Valve PVT LTD, INDO MIM PVT LTD, Geo Chem International Independent Inspection and testing Company, etc.
