Question

rakesh Sati · Answer

Both of them have good scope but if you are good in physics then mechanical is best for you.

Suni K · Answer

Mechanical engineering is called the evergreen branch as mechanical engineers find suitable placements in almost all segments in industry. Civil engineering is still a fruitful option with several construction companies and metro rail corporations emerging. In public sector there are opportunities for Civil Engineers in academics, PWDs, public health engineering and water authority and irrigation departments. Entrepreneurial opportunities are limitless. Remember, dreams are not what you see in sleep, dreams are those that do not let you sleep.

The scope of the course is the first thing a student considers before joining the engineering sector. Mechanical and civil engineering, in specifically, are rising in popularity with each passing year. Previously restricted for the computer Science and IT disciplines, the boom and frenzy has transferred to the mechanical and civil fields. Mechanical engineering, on the other hand, has a broader scope than civil engineering because it is a fundamental area. Mechanical engineering has a greater scope than civil engineering due to its superior and larger themes. Civil engineering focuses on a certain topic, whereas mechanical engineering is separated into a number of subfields. This makes it a better choice for the students who are looking for higher studies in the desired direction. The better possibilities for higher education from a reputed institution, you can get better job opportunities and scope as a Mechanical Engineering student rather than being a Civil Engineering student where there are not so vast higher education choices to go with. The Department of Civil and mechanical Engineering at Lovely Professional University has been at the forefront of creating a rich legacy of alumni, who have excelled in various job positions of the field ranging from academics to project management. I am an LPU student at present time so I can share some of the points with you to clear your doubt. LPU provides an atmosphere to create civil engineers for the upliftment of society through ISR activities. This university works to develop a fair and transparent evaluation system that will positively improve the competency of the students.

Dear Arjit, If you get overwhelmed by the structures and construction, civil engineering is the one for you. If you are intrigued by machine designs, their mechanics, and dynamics, go for mechanical engineering. LPU is the best engineering college in India. LPU becomes the best place to pursue an engineering degree with highly qualified teaching staff, best laboratories, and modern technologies. LPU provides abundant opportunities for students to think out of the box. Both are good streams but it depends on your interest as to which stream you want to join and interested in. Mechanical engineering yields some similarities, the biggest difference between the two careers is what professionals in the field engineer. A civil engineer helps design and create buildings, infrastructure, and other large-scale structural projects. The professional life is much, much different between the two. But if you must know, mechanical engineering is more difficult. The core classes use higher-level maths far more than in civil engineering. Aside from that, there is no real difference between difficulties. LPU provides placement opportunities to all the deserving candidates, from all courses. It's up to the student's capability to be able to grab the opportunity or not. Till now thousands of students are placed at a very good package all around the world.

Hello, See both the branches are a very great option to go for it basically depends on your interest and passion that how hardly you are trying to learn new concepts and technology. In India, there are various job opportunities for both of these branches in public sector. There are many government jobs available for mechanical and civil engineers but for that you have to clear the examination that is conducted by the government councils and you must be eligible to appear for such kind of examination. You can also go for private jobs in the desired field of your choice but all you need is the combination of theoretical knowledge of practical knowledge with prior skills to get placed in a reputed company. Thus, follow you passion and interest always to become successful in life. As you mentioned you are good in physics, you can go with Mechanical engineering. This also depends upon the college you are going to join and the faculty there and which stream gets better placements and packages. (coz nowadays stream doesn't matter much until and unless you're joining a core company which specifically requires your skill sets and knowledge in a particular domain. And most of us end up in IT industry). You should choose your college or university wisely. Getting an engineering degree done from a well reputed college is what matters. University or college which not just focus on content but also helps you with the placements. Few of the best options for engineering are IIT, NIIT, Lovely Professional University, Thapar, Symbiosis, and few more. Now another point to be kept in mind is choosing a best university or college, that not only inculcates the content part but also, helps in developing your overall personality. I have done my engineering from Lovely Professional University. And I can say that LPU has all the best facilities for engineering. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Every branch is good provided you have a strong interest in that. I will brief you both and its prospects then you can decide as per your orientation. As we all know that Civil engineers are responsible for building things like tunnels and highways, while mechanical engineers focus on mechanical products. Mechanical engineers may work with smaller items, such as medical devices, or they may work on mechanical systems in buildings, such as power generators etc. B.Tech Mechanical Engineering is the branch of engineering that involves production, designing, and operations of machines whereas B.Tech Civil articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology through lab practice and projects to gain knowledge in areas like Structural, Environmental & Highway Engineering, Construction Management etc. Which are in sync with industry requirements. So, if you want to travel and have interest in building the tunnels, bridges etc. Then CE is the best for you whereas if you have an orientation for mechanical systems, power generators, medical devices or machinery then ME is fit for you. Both branches has its own prospects but before that the point is which institute you are targeting. There are institutes like IIT, NIT, VIT and LPU which you can explore. I am somehow aware of LPU as it is known as the India's leading private university and its Engineering programmes are the heart of LPU. The university has a stellar record in placements in almost all the fields be it like CSE, ME, AE, Ce etc. LPU believes in delivering the quality, for same, it has hired faculty from the reputed institutes like IITs, NITs. The syllabus is vetted from the company officials of Cognozant, SAP, Microsoft etc. To provide updated curriculum. LPU has his own space shuttle programme, where students and faculty members are working on satellite programme with the joint help of ISRO. For more details, I will advice you to visit the website of LPU and plan the things accordingly.
