daer freind
dont confuse between computer engineering and mechanical engineering . mechanical is the hot cake branch of engineering it has a wider scope then computer . 1st of all you should think about your interest , what do you want to do, then it will very easy to decide which is better for you.as far as the scope of mechanical in future is concern ,it is very bright ,because selling of all cars , mechinaries , increase every day. and ofcourse it is more laborius and taugh job.


i think you should decide , you are interested in computer or machines.

can a mechanical engineer become astronaut?

what oportunities in mechenical engineering after 4 years

is there mechanical engg have more govt job than other of all branches

Power plant Engineering.
Automobile/Automotive Engineering.
Aeronautical Engineering.
Aerospace Engineering.
Naval Architech Engineering.
Tools & Machinery Engineering.
Marine Engineering.
Mechatronics Engineering.
Robotics Engineering (In design and operating or we can say except Memory part).
CAD/CAM/CAE.

All these are directly or indirectly linked with Mechanical engineering and so called parts of it.
Infact Mechanical Engineering is known as father and Electrical Engineering as the Mother of all engineering branches as said by a scientist of old age. Also Mechanical Engineering alone has 60 subjects.

after bca , can i do btech mechanical engg????

Scope of Mechanical Engineering:

RRB(Railway Recruitment Board)

UPSC(Union Public Service Commission)

CDS(Combined Defence Service)

NTPC(National Thermal Power Corporation)

HPCL(Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd)

ONGC(Oil & Natural Gas Corporation)

SAIL(Steel Authority of India)

BHEL(Bharath Heavy Electricals Ltd)

FCI(Food Corporation of India)

All the best.....

can i do business in automobiles after doing bba

which branch have bright future weather ece or mech?but iam weak at communication,i think i can improve.can suggest which is better for me?

Sir ,i am 1 b-tech mech student,i am a girl can please give me guidelines about further years. 'Can girls get jods'?if get where!

mechanical engg. can develop their own company?
If he has no much money then what do him?
if he has new technical creation which not develop by other company then what can do that person?
please ans. fast as possible as

first of all i want to tell you that both the branch are good but as the view of future mechanical is good and about the laborious, yes mechanical is but its totally depend upon the skills , if you complete B.E/B.tech you should be in the post of senior engineer , and if you did diploma you should be posted as junior engineer in industry .mechanical is a group of department like , designing , thermal , industrial work .

Sir , I am student of first year mechanical engineering B.E
I am very confused abut my collage because it have no any campus placement. Due to this I want to join another course like BCA MCA in another good management college...
Sir please help me can I continue my engineering in that college or I can join new course...
Please reply...

One thing is there is basically two types of jobs from Indian perspective. One is hardcore industry like steel, petroleum e.t.c mostly.. government organizations.. Second type of jobs are the ones in OEMs in different areas and the suppliers and service provides. Eg Volvo is an automotive OEM and Robert Bosch is a tier 1 supplier who provides different components and services for these OEMs.

I work for Volvo and hence my answer will be more aligned towards the second type of jobs..

Now coming to the answer. As I said the scope for both mechanical and electrical.. the oldest engineering branches will always be there as till the end of world. But we have to adapt to modern style of working.

The second and most important thing to keep in mind while reading this answer and through out your life if you're an engineer is.. the boundaries between engineering fields are getting blurred day by day. Sitting in my office and looking around, I can see electrical engineers doing engine calibration.. Mechanical engineers developing softwares. This thing you already know.. there is no longer mechanical and electronics engineering.. It's mechatronics engineering everywhere. Go ahead and open your car bonet you will know what I mean.

So this is the first step towards adaptation. Have some idea about other engineering fields.Electronics and control theory and electrical machines is a must. Select some online resources and spend some 70hrs on each of these topics.. You are good to go.

Now the second thing is.. the world is moving towards virtual simulation and testing when it comes to technology development. It's highly cost effective and saves a lot of time. So simulation is the key…Finite element analysis, model bases design and system simulation.. e.t.c are the things of major focus in the industry right now and for the foreseeable future. So it will be good to build some competency around these areas.MATLAB and simulink is a must. It's a simulation tool which has numerous applications. Apart from that you should be proficient in one coding language. Python is good and highly user friendly. A mechanical engineer with coding skills is a lot of power. You can automate all repetitive task and focus on doing the creative stuff. Many finite element analysis has interfaces to call python into the environment.. and a lot more things you can do..

And one more thing. Artificial intelligence. If possible combine AI and python and learn it together. Understand the basics. It will help you a lot in future.
