    This question can be answered from several perspective. Both are good branches and offer a lot of opportunities after completing your education.
    If you go for computer science engineering, you have these positives and negatives:
    1) CS fetches you more starting salary packages.
    2) Avenues to go abroad are plenty.
    3) Mostly, you would be working in a metro city like Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, etc.
    4) Software companies are the first to lay off people when the going gets tough, such as a recession.
    5) Government jobs are less.
    If you go for computer science engineering, you have these positives and negatives:
    1) Entry level salaries are not much. H

    Computer Science has more scope in private sector i.e. higher packages, while mechanical engineering has greater scope in public sector (less probable due to the competitive level).

    Based on current market trends computer science engineering has more scope and better placement opportunities. With all these new startups and MNCs coming to India CSE is a branch where you want to be in coming 4-5 years.
    Mechanical engineering has its own perks, a career in ME allows you to build a better future for you. ME might not provide you a high paying job initially, but over the time with your experience you can grow.
    Both the branches have scope and it all depends on your dedication.

    People say that choose a branch as per you interest, however most engineering aspirants look forward to join any company soon after B.Tech. If you want to join some PSU, then go for mechanical because there are many such companies in this area. However, if you have plans to do a good job(be it private), then computer Science has ample opportunities for you.

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
