    All the branches of engineering are equally good and have tremendous job opportunities. It entirely depends on how well you understand and handle the stream and increase your scope of growth. Different branches of engineering are popular at different places and the popularity depends upon the day to day requirement of that place. In my opinion these days the major opportunities are there for the students of computer Science/information technology but I would say you should choose stream based on your interest as that will open a wider scope for your future. As per today's requirement, Lovely professional university is the one which pro

    Choose a subject in which you are interested. Don't think about what will happen rather concentrate on what you can do for your career. In today's market CSE and IT are in demand. But you can't predict the situation after 4 years. So go for the subject in which u have interest. Suggested streams are CSE, IT, mechanical. All the best. Thank you.

    It depends on your interest first because if you are interested in something and actually want to do that thing the you can perform better in that field. As per my suggestion every branch is good and worthy at their place. Otherwise sometime person step in the field by looking others or better job prospects but later on they regret because they feel no interest.

    Choice depends upon the person that in which area he/she is interested, for this you have to do a ground research not only in current perspective but also looking towards the future. However courses like aerospace, mechatronics, chemical and petroleum engineering. Provides path breaking success to the candidate with multiple opportunities. LPU provides these course along with traditional with best of its faculty members.

    Don't think after 4 years, choose a career based on your interest. All the disciplines are exceptionally good, all they need is hard work. Say if you are interested in innovation and design, you can go for mechanical engineering and if you have interest in the IT field, you can go for Computer Science and Engineering or IT engineering. Be cautious while choosing the college as it matters a lot for your placements and package. Here are some of the colleges where you can get admission:
    1. IIT
    2. BITS
    3. Lovely Professional University

    As someone already said, all streams are good. It all depends on your interest and your life goals. To be successful in engineering field, you should have analytical mind set and logical thinking. Rest, the solid background in Maths & Physics is a pre-requisite for any stream as numerical and analytical analysis should be in your DNA to become a successful employable engineer. Otherwise, mere passing a degree with no such skills will not be any help to you. Now, talking about choosing a stream, there is a lot more choices available over the past few years. Some new field like Nano Technology, Ceramics, Plastic Engineering, Mechatronics

    It all depends on you what is your passion and what you want to study.
    But if we go by present market trend then, computer science and IT branch are the hotshots of the market and are very promising.New age jobs in the IT sector surely carry a charm as they offer high initial packages and also carry a scope for growth.

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.

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.
