    Hello Pritam, 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 telecommunicati

    Both the branches are equally good. If you are interested in electricity and its components, go for electrical else opt mechanical if your interest are machines.
    Good luck.

    Electrical engineering is better than mechanical engineering because its scope is higher than mechanical engineering.

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. With regular industrial visits, workshops, and
