Which field has better opportunities among mechanical or computer science?

Question

Khushal Arora · Answer

Hello, I would say both are best or the worst options until they matches with your areas of Interest. If you gravitate towards complex mechanics that machines of different types integrate, mechanical engineering is the right choice for you. On the other hand, if you are interested in computing technology, you'll grow in your career by taking up computer Science engineering. Another major point to be considered here is choosing a right college or university. As this plays a vital role. Being an LPU Alumni from engineering background, I can say that LPU has experienced faculty members, well-equipped labs, great infrastructure, excellent placements, complete training and placement assistance and lot more and that too at a very low fees and high scholarships. The university is equipped with the latest technologies delivering the most effective methods of teaching in its spacious campus. LPU provides an environment where students are enlightened through the extensive array of learning methodologies. Highly qualified teaching staff combined with the best laboratories and modern technologies makes LPU the best place to pursue your engineering degree. I hope you will make a wise decision. Good Luck.

HI Goutham, In general, both are equally good for the future ahead. I agree that CSE is having slightly more demanding nowadays if any Mechanical guy wants to go to core Mechanical Company only. Otherwise if you are studying in LPU like University. There is no difference in the opportunity to get placement or decent job. LPU, Punjab provide equal opportunities to all the streams. Many of my students have been placed through campus placements. According to them almost all the students were placed only those were left overs who do not want placements or those who were not good at academic records. Actually, candidates at good academic records are the first choice of the recruiters. I hope my opinion will help to you to make your vision towards your better future. All the best.

Hi Gautham, Both the branches have good scope provided 1. You choose according to your interest, aptitude, passion, frame of mind, personality, favorite subjects and align them with your aspirations. 2. You choose the right university to pursue from those of high repute. Per my 16 years of experience in education, I can say that IITs, BITs, PEC, Thapar, VIT and LPU have made a great name in education and placements. So, my friend the onus is on you to decide on both these points. Hope this helps DVD.

Hi, A lot depends on your interest because you can excel only in a stream in which you are interested. Both are doing equally well. The university should give you the right inputs for a fruitful career. I would choose LPU which tends to change instruction through scholastic meticulousness; pragmatic direction and result based education. If you browse to check the efficiency scale, LPU tops the charts on all para meters: 1. Infra structure 2. Accreditation. 3. Faculty is not only experienced but is updated 4. Industry immersion 5. Labs are well-equipped with the latest technology 6. Placement preparation 7. Aids research 8. The School of Professional Enhancement 9. Placements 10. Covid regulations adhered to strictly 10. Awards and rankings. 11. LPU students are guided on niche technologies like Google, SAP and Oracle. Possessing such skill sets separates them from the ordinary and leads them to grab top placements. Result: Some big recruiters and the packages they offer at LPU are MICROSOFT INDIA = 42 LPA GAMESKRAFT TECHNOLOGIES = 32 LPA INTERVIEW BIT = 31 LPA CODE NATION = 31 LPA MEDIA NET = 29.78 LPA AMAZON SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT INDIA LTD = 28 LPA OPTMYZR = 24 LPA ADOBE SYSTEMS INDIA = 22.3 LPA These and many more such reasons would entice me for selecting LPU. Browse the website of LPU and check the details of the topics of both streams, this will be helpful in deciding. Good Luck.
