    First part:
    All branches of engineering are best for girls, now the employers are mostly gender neutral, so all the conservative thoughts are now meaningless. YES ME is good for girl if her interests, aptitude, passion, favorite subjects, personality traits and aspirations point towards mechanical. If you choose according to these, you will have ample opportunities in your chosen branch. Second part:
    And must choose the college by comparing them on the curriculum development, teaching pedagogy, industry interface, infrastructure, alumni and placements. Some good ones are IITs, BITs, VIT, PEC, Thapar and LPU. Hope this helps. DVD.

    There are many girls who have done mechanical engineering. But due to mind set less girls choose mechanical engineering. But career wise you won't have any difficulty as a girl only during your third semester and 4th semester we have some labs wherein you have to do certain minimum physical work as a part of learning, which won't be that difficult. Many girls have done. Once you are done with your education you may look for a job in design or analysis. Most girl choose the same. But many girls are also working in production industry etc. My sister has completed B.Tech Mechanical from Lovely Professional University, LPU is helping her g

    Hi Aathira, In yesteryear's, it was common thing that Odd one's are out. But now the trends are changing. Girls mechanical Engineers are also acceptable in the corporate companies. For eg: Subordinate companies of Maruti Udyog in Manesar, Gurugram plant. Now the employers are mostly gender neutral, so all the conservative thoughts are now meaningless. For putting more spark in your profile you can pursue MBA further as a higher Education. MECH Engineering at LPU is one of the promising school and very much trustworthy for both safety, security and Academic Education. Admission are open online better to take admission prior to 20th sep

I've had a really good experience with the mechanical engineering faculty at Chandigarh University. Most of them are PhD holders, so you can tell they know their subject inside out. What I like is that they're not just teaching from books—they share real-world examples, guide us in labs, and help with projects. The faculty is approachable, so if you ever get stuck on something, you can just ask, and they'll explain patiently. They also encourage students to explore electives like Thermal & Energy Engineering, Industrial Manufacturing, or Design & Robotics, and help you pick what suits your career goals. 

Plus, with all the collab

Yes, Chandigarh University is a good choice for B.E. in Mechanical Engineering. What I really like about the programme is the variety of specializations you can pick, like Thermal & Energy, Industrial Manufacturing & Management, or Automation & Robotics. The labs are another strong point from 3D printing and advanced welding labs to industry-backed centres by Honda, Mahindra, Hyundai, and MG Motors. These collaborations give you hands-on exposure that feels very close to real-world industry work. On top of that, the department is both ABET and NBA accredited, which adds global recognition. With regular industrial visits, workshops, and
