    Both are better according to respective subjects of study. It is all up to the interest of the person, if person is interested in study of Electrical machines, wiring, Study of current, voltage, power. Distribution & generation of power. Electrical is good option for them. As Electrical is a diverse field. While if person is interested in study of mechanism of machines and its deeper study of method and principals. Then mechanical is good option for them.

    I would say look for which course suits you best. Look for option which aligns with your area of interest. Electrical engineering deals with the design of different types of electrical systems. It's considered the largest branch of the engineering fields. Electrical engineers examine issues related to electronics, control systems, signal processing, and telecommunications. Mechanical engineers get knowledge in Physics and material Science for the design, manufacture, and testing of all kinds of mechanical products and machinery. This knowledge spans from mechanics and Thermodynamics to structural analysis structural analysis are all ne

    Both are core branches. Both branches are equally good and both are best at their own places.

    Electrical engineering is better than mechanical engineering because it has high scope now when compared to mechanical engineering.

    Hello Venkata, 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 telecommunicat

    Sorry, but all forms of engineering require a solid grounding in maths. However, it's not like you'll be immersed in mathematics for all time, like a theoretical mathematician. It's necessary to have the groundwork because so much of engineering is built on top of it. In everyday work you may find that the field-specific software in daily use does 99% or more of the heavy mathematical lifting for you. It's when the software kicks up an unexpected result that you need to be able to assess whether the result is trustworthy. For this, you need a reasonable understanding of the basic principles and assumptions upon which your software is b

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
