Which engineering branch is better among mechanical and electrical engineering?

It depends on the college in which you are taking admission. Some colleges have better placements record for mechanical and some for electrical.

Electrical engineering is better than mechanical engineering because it has high scope now when compared to mechanical engineering and also has good placement opportunities.

Akash don't go with which stream is better. Go with what you want do after studying B.Tech. You may take following considerations. If you like computer, want to build crazy application or something related to software go with Computer Science engineering. If you like playing with machines/motors or electricity go ahead with Mechanical engineering. Or Electrical engineering. If you are India, after studying Electronics and communication engineering most of the students gets job/work in IT companies. Only few percent gets chance in electronics companies. So I would suggest, better to study Computer Science engineering. If you want to sail through vast sea go with Marine engineering. If you have not decided what you want to do after B.Tech, sit for one or two days and decided what you want to do. If still confused, select any of the engineering mentioned in point # 1, 2 and 3 (Computer Science, Electrical, Mechanical, or Electronics). Best of luck.

Hi, You can go for electrical engineering or mechanical engineering if you have studied Physics, Mathematics and English in class 12th. Eligibility criteria for taking admission in B.Tech Electrical Engineering or mechanical engineering is pass with 60% aggregate marks in 10+2 (with Physics, Mathematics and English) and you have to qualify entrance test along with it. Electrical Engineering includes the concepts from basic science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects for building the problem solving skills, keeping in view industry requirements. Students develop competence in areas like Power Systems, Control Systems, Power Electronics, etc. Mechanical engineering seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects for building the problem-solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place for Design, Manufacturing, Thermal, etc., specialisation. So, you can select any of the above depending on your interest. It is most important that you enroll yourself in any of the top universities offering good practical and industrial exposure, good placements like: Lovely Professional University-Punjab, BITS Pilani Delhi College of Engineering VIT, Vellore PSG Technology Coimbatore National Institute of Engineering, Mysore BIT Ranchi NSIT, New Delhi College of Engineering, Pune Faculty of Engineering & Technology, Jamia Millia Islamia I hope it helps.

Hello Aakash, Electrical engineering is the design and study of electronics, power, and electrical systems while mechanical engineering is the design and study of power, energy, weapons systems, aircraft and transportation products, and other equipment. Electrical engineering is one of the main branches of engineering which is concerned with the use of electricity to transmit energy while mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical devices and tools. Both can involve the field of mechatronics and robotics, but electrical engineering is also concerned with electronics and telecommunications while mechanical engineering is also concerned with nanotechnology and drafting. Good luck. Thank you.
