Which has a better scope and why: Mechanical Engineering or CSE?

Greetings from SHIKSHA. Both the branches are among the evergreen fields of engineering. Talking about the current situation, the demand and supply of CSE Engineers is more than Mechanical Engineer because IT Sector is developing much in our country. Mechanical Engineers are also having good demand because of establishment of many industries in India by ‘MAKE IN INDIA’ Initiative. Talking about the packages offered to CSE is good and more as compared to Mechanical Engineering and The jobs of CSE is more than that of Mechanical Engineering. So, both the course have very good scopes in our country. But, if you are looking for someone good package in Placement then CSE can satisfy your expectations. The packages offered to Mechanical Branch is good but not in crores like CSE. That makes the difference. But, try to choose the field in which you are really interested and the field in which you love to work. Scopes are equal for all the branches in India. But, you can generate more scope and grow yourself in which you have interest.

CSE branch is the most popular and demanding branch nowadays as many students are joining this branch for better future as many tech companies are giving jobs to CSE students now as compared to others. Mechanical engineering is also good but right now this branch is not so famous as CSE branch and not much salary is offered to the students of this branch. But just think about one thing in engineering, It is possible that mechanical engineering seats are left but there are very few colleges which have CSE seats left which mean that a lot of students are taking this branch and defiantly year after year many CSE student are passing out from the college. So here in CSE, there is a lot of crowd as compared to mechanical engineering. Also, yes there is low salary in mechanical engineering but in mechanical engineering there is a chance that you can get a job if you are not able to get job in college but in CSE, if you are unable to get job through college placements then it will be quite tough to get a job from off-campus as a lot of crowd is there in this branch. I would suggest a student to go for mechanical engineering instead of CSE. But first, think about your own wishes and what you want to do. All the best!

As per the current scenario, the tech industry is booming and there is a large demand for CS/IT engineers allover India and abroad too. There are many specializations and job profiles available for a student. Other than that, CSE has the highest percentage of placements in almost all colleges. Even the packages offered are the highest in CSE as compared to other branches. Mechanical engineering opens up a vast ocean of opportunities to anyone who pursues it. In mechanical there are many sub-branches which have many jobs to offer: Aerospace Mechatronics Marine Metallurgy Production/Industrial Automobile Mechanical Engineering offers you many fields to work in while CSE also does have many options. In terms of placements and packages, CSE beats mechanical, but mechanical also has decent placements. I took mechanical because I found it interesting and I can't see myself sitting in front of a computer and coding for 12 hours a day. So the choice is yours. Go for what you find interesting. All the best.

1) Interest:- You should find out the content of both mechanical and CSE and look for which interests you the most. For an overview, you will find subjects related to thermodynamics, some robotics and electronics, strength of material, machine drawing etc if you study mechanical engineering. Regarding CSE, you will be studying computer graphics, organization of computer, lots of programming, networks, database etc. Something that interests you more, is better. 2) Academics:- You will require mental and physical strength for mechanical. Workshop covers a lot of importance and it involves a lot of field work. Only a small part of academics allow you to relax. In CSE, most of the times you will be sitting in an AC room, typing programs or doing some tasks on your PC. Your mental strength will be something you will always rely on as workshop is only in the first year. 3) Placements:- In mechanical, to be placed in a core company you should be very talented and have some contacts or at least be very lucky. Even you have a core job the salaries are comparatively low than what you will get in CSE. If you do not get a core job, you will go for IT and ultimately end up doing programming after studying something totally different for four years. In CSE, getting a decent pay job is quite easy, there are a lot of opportunities and jobs available with good pay and you will be doing something you studied for all four years if placed unlike mechanical.
