IS LPU, SRM or VIT good for mechanical engineering?

Question

Puneet Singh · Answer

Dear Aspirant, SRM and VIT are leading private universities in India for higher studies. My friend did B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from LPU, so I would be sharing a few details of ME at LPU. School of Mechanical Engineering is the best Mechanical Engineering college in Punjab, India equipped with 40+ labs and modern machining to provide an extra edge to the existing curriculum which focuses on developing a strong basic knowledge. A Mechanical Engineering student goes through an experiential learning process surrounded by high-end the latest labs and equipment including robotics and automation. International tech-fests and competitions encourage all-round development in our students in addition to giving them international exposure. Highlights of the programme: Credit Transfer, International Exposure Option: Semester Exchange. With Quality of Education, Placements in LPU is also amazing, with the top brand in the world coming for Campus Recruitment provides great opportunities to its students. The highest package offered for the programme is 31 LPA. Some of the companies that visited LPU for mechanical engineering are - BOSCH ENGINEERING AND BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LTD BOSCH AND SIEMENS HOME APPLIANCES GROUP BSHG DRISHTI SOFT SOLUTIONS PRIVATE LIMITED ANGLO EASTERN SHIP MANAGEMENT LTD etc. Hope this is helpful! Thanks!

Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the design, manufacturing, maintenance and testing of machines. It is also considered as one of the most diverse and versatile disciplines of engineering. Mechanical engineering also includes the application of mechanics, material Science, applied mathematics and Physics. With the rise of modern technology, mechanical engineering has witnessed newfound importance with more and more students opting to learn less explored domains of robotics, mechatronics, nanotechnology, etc. While I was surveying the course and curriculum I found LPU a very happening university. LPU is good for Mechanical Engineering. Good placements in core company as well as multinational companies. Other than participating in various events like Go Kart, project expo, entertainment events like One India, One World etc. Practical based learning, live projects and valuable sessions rendered by industry experts creates a larger spectrum of learning. LPU provides ample job opportunities to each and every students to secure a good placement. Zee News Survey rated us as 11th Best in India in Placements. T op companies visited for placements are: Volkswagon, Voltas, Anglo Eastern Ship Mgt. , Asahi India, Rockman (Hero group), Dharam Consulting, Samundra, Indo-MIM, Sandhar Technologies, JK Lakshmi Cement, Maruti, Lava, XL Dynamics, Asahi India, Cleanmax Solar, Elgi Equipments, etc. Apart from their placements, LPU also provides rich support to its students to focus on their entrepreneurship projects that can help the student set up their own start up. LPU provides SEED money for prospective projects proposed by the students. This encourages the concept of made in India more strongly. Such steps only can lead to big achievements like "School of Mechanical Engineering and Automobile Engineering has been conferred with the 'Corporate Award 2019-20' by SAEINDIA Foundation - India's leading resource for advancing the mobility industry in India.

LPU will be a better choice for Mechanical Engineering. Mechanical Engineering here is surrounded by all kinds of all experimental learning which is a must for this programme. Also, the curriculum of LPU in the case of Mechanical Engineering is very impressive. A proper note is taken so that students have a very strong basic knowledge of their course. Also, when you talk about LPU, innovative learning is theirs one of the most important priorities. Similar is the with B.Tech in Mech. Engineering as well. Almost every year, the Mech. Engineering department at LPU shines in various fest, challenges, etc. Held in the campus as well as across the country. Talking about the placements, it is also exceptionally good here. You will definitely land with a very good job offer if you are sincere and work hard on your academics and skills. If you develop some coding skills too during your course, that would really boost your presence but if you are unable, there won't be any problem because there are many core companies visiting the campus as well. Some of those companies include- Indo Farm, Honda, Voltas, Tech Mahindra, Hyundai, etc. LPU alumni are working in top MNCs across the globe like Voltas International, Honda Two Wheelers, Asahi India Glass Ltd. , Indo Farm Tractors Ltd. etc. LPU Students have been offered International locations like Dubai and Oman by Voltas.
