Sir, what things I have to do after completion of my 10th to become mechanical engineer? Should I do any short term courses and if yes, then which short term courses can I do which would be beneficial for me? Can you please tell the full path right from 11th till degree of mechanical engineering?

If you want to pursue mechanical engineering course after 10th then you have to apply for diploma in Mechanical Engineering. If you want to pursue it through a government college then you have to appear in the Polytechnic Entrance Test.
This exam can be given after 10th.
The duration of this course is 3 years.

To become a Mechanical Engineer, you need to pursue Higher Secondary course with PCM stream after completion of your 10th standard from a recognised board. After completion of your 12th standard, you have to pursue your Bachelor's degree course in Mechanical Engineering from a recognised university. Once, you complete your Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering course from a recognised university with good subject knowledge, you can get good job as a Mechanical Engineer.

You have to opt for PCM stream in class 11th or go for diploma in mechanical engineering through polytechnic entrance exam. Diploma will help you get professional qualification, which will make you eligible for various jobs on the same industry.

On the basis of class 12th PCM, you can apply for engineering entrance exams like JEE for admission in B.Tech in mechanical engineering degree.

In order to become a mechanical engineer at first you have to complete 12th standard with PCM subjects from a recognized board. With this eligibility you have to appear for engineering entrance examinations like JEE/WBJEE/BIT SAT etc. in order to get admission for B.Tech/B.E mechanical engineering. You can also go for diploma in mechanical engineering after 10th. When you complete your diploma you can get admission directly in the 2nd year of mechanical engineering through lateral entry scheme.

To become a mechanical engineer, candidates has to study BE or BTech in Mechanical Engineering course. To pursue BE or BTech Mechanical Engineering, candidates have to study 11th and 12th with PCM subjects. After completion of class 12th, they have to apply for joining the BE or BTech course in Mechanical Engineering. Admission is done on the basis of an entrance examination. Based on it a merit list will be prepared and candidates are admitted through counseling. Therefore, after the 10th one should start from 10+2 and then BE or BTech to become a mechanical engineer.

There isn't any short term courses available to become a mechanical engineer.
You can either go for polytechnic mechanical engineering right after the completion of your 10th standard by applying for entrance test for polytechnic, or you can pursue your senior secondary level with science stream with physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as your main subjects and after completion of your senior secondary examination you can go for B.Tech/B.E in mechanical engineering by apply entrance examination.
You can take coaching classes to prepare yourself for various engineering entrance examination while pursuing your senior secondary educations.

Procedure to become a Mechanical Engineering after 10th:-

You have to choose Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics subjects in your 11th and 12th standard with other subjects to become a mechanical engineer.

You should score very good marks in 12th standard, to get a seat in engineering colleges. You can choose the subject during counseling after your 12th examination.

The admission to the engineering colleges are done through the counseling for all the colleges in the state. Your 12th marks will be considered for the engineering admission.

You need to pursue your 11th and 12th standard with PCM stream or three years Diploma in Mechanical Engineering course from a Government recognised board/ institution after completion of your 10th standard from a Government recognised board. After completion of your 12th standard, you can take admission in first year of the Mechanical Engineering course or if you have pursued Diploma course then, you can take direct admission in second year of four years Mechanical Engineering course.

To be a mechanical engineer first you have to complete your intermediate in PCM group. After completion of intermediate you can give IIT JEE which is an entrance exam to get admission in B.Tech. You have to qualify this exam with good marks. Only after that you will get admission in a good institution.

Second option is you can do diploma in mechanical engineering after completion of 10th. To get admission in this course you have to give an entrance exam which is conducted by your respective institution. After completion of diploma with minimum of 60% marks you can get admission in directly second year of engineering through LEET exam.
