Which branch in B.Tech is good for having a good future and a good job among mechanical engineering and computer science engineering?

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.

Placements for Mechanical Engineering at Chandigarh University are really impressive! Companies like Royal Enfield, Ashok Leyland, Atlas Copco, and LG Electronics hire CU graduates, and the top packages go up to 11 LPA, with most students getting around 6–7 LPA. The branch you choose depends on what you want for the future. If you love coding, software, AI, or IT, CSE might be better. But if you're into machines, cars, energy, or robotics, Mechanical is perfect, especially because CU gives so many hands-on projects, workshops, and industry exposure. Honestly, both branches have great opportunities, but it comes down to whether you want a tech/software path or an engineering-machinery path.
