What one is better among computer engineering and mechanical engineering?

Question

Devesh Lathi · Answer

In India there are better job prospects for CS. But if you are the kind of person who likes Physics and feel happy in the company of machines and love hardcore engineering, then Mechanical is the field for you. But be aware that not many engineering colleges in India have amazing labs and workshops for Mechanical. So before opting for any college, do check out the facilities online.

anand kumar prajapati · Answer

I will suggest you for mechanical engineering. If you have good numerical solving capacity and imagination, you can go for mechanical because after mechanical engineering, you have lots of scope in government as well as private sector.

Mayank Kumar · Answer

It depends completely on your choice and aspirations. Both require determination and patience. All the best.

Hello Jadav, Both of these branches have different and unique essence. The answer totally depends upon your interest, capability, talent, grasping power and inclination. If you are kind of guy who is good with not just computers but with its soul, i.e., hardware, software and most importantly programming languages (C, C+, VB, .NET, Java, etc.), and you don't get frustrated with complications of these, instead enjoy dealing with them, then, Computer Science is the branch for you. If you are the kind of guy who gets fascinated by the mechanics of everything that you see in your day to day life, say for example, the way your bike behaves in odd or good manners, the way steering acts, gearing mechanisms, machinery, etc. then mechanical engineering is the branch for you. One of the most important and interesting fact about Mechanical Engineering is that it consists fundas of each and every branch, be it chemical, electrical, electronics, computer science, physics, etc. If you are good in mathematics then you won't have much problem in solving numericals in mechanical. Mostly computer science engineers get the white collared jobs whereas mechanical engineers might get white collared job if he/she is in design field or might get field work. So before choosing the branch you need to understand the kind jobs you might get after graduation and whether you are actually enjoying the course of learning without any kind of frustration or not. Although in India mostly people choose either of these branches only but before making any decision check out the various branches, the kind of job opportunities they offer in India or in any other country (if you have no problem going abroad) and most importantly which branch is appealing to you the most. After all you need to be in the same branch (if you don't plan to change your stream in second year). P.S.: don't choose on the sole criteria of money, choose based upon your interest. An average paying job might give immense pleasure to an individual if the stream and job are of his/her interest but the highest paying job might frustrate an individual so much if the job and stream are not of his interest.

As per my knowledge both the specialisation is good in their own place. You only have to understand your interest and passion in which field you can become successful with the help of your hard work. If you are looking for the best University for both these branches, I would suggest you go for Geeta University as it is the growing University in India. The University offers more than 70+ programmes in Management, Hotel Management, Computer Application, Engineering, Commerce, Fashion Design, Special Education, Pharmacy, Media Studies, Arts & Humanities, Allied Health Sciences, etc. University offers various scholarship schemes for students. They also conduct their own entrance exam called GUTS to avail of maximum scholarships. University focuses on quality education a lot and all the professors of GU are highly qualified and friendly, University also focuses on practical knowledge a lot and agriculture students of GU have to go through various practical tasks and projects which makes it very easy to understand the concepts and develop a deep knowledge of the subjects. Regarding placements, Many companies are coming to GU for the recruitment of mechanical students. The packages vary from 3 Lacs to 6 Lacs per annum. On average, the packages are 3 Lacs in a very core company which gradually sees a couple of rapid promotions based on your handwork.

In my personal opinion, CSE branch has more scope as compare to Mechanical Engineering. Almost all sectors function with the assistance of computer Science engineers. It is one of the branches of engineering which has experienced an exponential increase in demand. Computer engineers are responsible for developing, testing, implementing, and maintaining computer software and hardware. They make sure that the physical hardware and software programming components of their client's systems are in working order. They may specialize in a variety of fields like programming, security, hardware or IT. Computer engineers also collaborate with different groups of professionals, evaluate system requirements, and develop hardware and software components. They can work in a variety of industries ranging from healthcare and infrastructure to aerospace and automobile engineering. The B.Tech degree in Computer Science and Engineering is focused on providing foundational knowledge and skills to the students. This includes knowledge of core subjects as well as introductory content for advanced areas. Students learn such skills as programming, communication skills, presentation skills, teamwork, and project development, which are aimed at producing a lifelong self-learner and a good individual with a team working ability. However, the degree lacks in imparting education related to ethics and morality. Below are some of the best Private Universities:- BITS Pilani, ICT Mumbai, Mumbai. VIT Vellore, Vellore. Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology - [TIET], Patiala. ITER Bhubaneswar, Bhubaneswar. LDCE Ahmedabad - LD College of Engineering. Geeta University, Panipat MSRIT Bangalore - Ramaiah Institute of Technology. BMSCE Bangalore - BMS College of Engineering.

If you are intrigued by machine designs, their mechanics, and dynamics, go for mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering yields some similarities, the biggest difference between the two careers is what professionals in the field engineer. The scope of higher education is high after B.Tech CSE, and students who are planning to go abroad for higher studies will be most beneficial with this degree. B.Tech CSE is the best option if you want to start your own business or venture into the field of Software or IT. Both are good streams but it depends on your interest as to which stream you want to join and interested in. LPU is the best engineering college in India.
