What is specialty of Mechanical engineering programme at LPU? Do students get placed?

Hi.

1. Meet Eligibility Criteria: Candidates must have passed the 10+2 examination with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) as compulsory subjects, usually with a minimum aggregate mark of 50-60% (75% for IITs).
2. Appear for Entrance Exams: Admission to most reputable engineering colleges is based on national, state, or university-level entrance exam scores.
3. Submit Applications: Candidates must apply online to the specific colleges or participate in centralized counseling processes like JoSAA.
4. Attend Counselling/Interviews: Shortlisted candidates participate in counseling sessions for seat allotment or may have to attend interviews/group discussions, particularly for merit-based admissions at private colleges.
5. Document Verification and Fee Payment: Final admission is confirmed after successful document verification and payment of the course fees. 

Mechanical Engineering from Chandigarh University offers a broad career landscape combining theory and practical exposure. Alumni often find roles in machine design, HVAC systems, industrial engineering, and research & development. The university's industry tie-ups and placements help graduates enter startups or established firms in sectors like oil and gas, automotive component manufacturing, or heavy machinery. For those inclined toward innovation, there is scope in additive manufacturing, automation, and smart factory systems.

Additionally, graduates can opt for specialisation via higher studies (MTech, MSc) or certifications in project management, Lean Six Sigma, or robotics to increase employability. The skillset also lends itself to non-traditional roles such as sales engineering, technical consulting, or education.

Joining Chandigarh University for mechanical engineering is easy if you meet the eligibility criteria. You should have completed 10+2 with physics and mathematics and one additional subject like chemistry or IT, scoring at least 50%. You can secure admission through CUCET, which also offers scholarships based on your score—top scorers can get the entire tuition fee waived. 

Besides CUCET, this university provides scholarships for academics, sports, and girls under programs like the Kalpana Chawla Scholarship. After eligibility and scholarships, you just need to submit the application online, pay the semester fees, and you're set. The department offers great labs, industry collaborations, and a supportive faculty, making it a rewarding choice for mechanical engineering.

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 collaborations with companies like Honda, Hyundai, and Mahindra, the professors make sure we're prepared for actual industry challenges. Honestly, having such experienced faculty makes studying mechanical engineering here feel very practical and rewarding.

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 placement drives involving well-known companies, students get solid exposure and career opportunities.
