Mechanical Engineering: Jobs Data

As per the previous year data, fourteen premier engineering colleges in the country together averaged a placement rate of about 76 per cent for their BTech in Mechanical Engineering graduates who registered for placement in 2020-21. All 14 are among the top 25 public technical institutions in the country, as ranked by the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF 2021). IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur and NIT Surathkal did not share the total enrolled students data in the RTIs and so these institutes were removed from the analysis for the graph below.

Mechanical Engineering Placement Rate

More than half of the colleges have a better placement percentage in the mechanical branch as compared to the overall average placement percentage of the colleges.

In 2020-21, the best placement rate for Mechanical Engineering was at NIT Surathkal Karnataka (NITK) which beat even the top IITs. Equally surprisingly, was the fact that Jadavpur University, a state university in West Bengal stood second.

Mechanical Engineering Jobs: Average Salary

The data was available for all four core branches- chemical, civil, mechanical and electrical engineering. The mechanical branch had an average salary of around 11.21 per cent per lakh per annum and it had the lowest average salary among these core engineering branches. All the below-mentioned mechanical engineering institutes have lower salary packages than the overall average salary package of the institute.

IIT Delhi and IIT Kharagpur couldn’t disclose this data in the RTI response, so this analysis did not include the salary details of these two institutes.

Helllo,

You can update your date of issue on an EWS certificate while there is a correction window for JEE Main. The National Testing Agency usually throws open such a window for updating fields like reservation category details, on which all applicants get updates in their application forms, including an EWS certificate. The correction window for the 2024 JEE cycle will open in December 2023 and again in January 2024. Here is your opportunity to update the issue date of EWS certificate; if any certificate issued after April 1, 2024, is not updated currently in your application.

For corrections on EWS or other categories, one can check the update announcements from the official site of JEE Main or Careers360 before availing the correction dates and guidelines.

For information about the correction process, have a look at the official guidance on Careers360: JEE Main correction window details on Careers360


Hello,

Yes, it is possible to attempt JEE Main Paper 1 for admission in B.Tech or B.E. and the Paper 2 for getting into B.Arch/B.Planning the same year. The NTA carries out these tests, which generally are scheduled separately. This is done to enable appearing candidates to appear for both of them in the same year.

Generally, Paper 1 B.Tech/B.E. and Paper 2 B.Arch are not conducted on the same day. NTA releases an exact schedule which specifies dates and time slots for all papers. Check the official notification and the timetable for JEE Main to find the exact schedule, so whether you have some gap in time between these exams, it will help you plan for your both the exams, if you wish to take up both of them.

Hello,

Filling in your name as per your Aadhaar card in the JEE Main 2025 application form is correct and generally recommended.

The name on your application form should match your official identification documents like Aadhaar to avoid discrepancies during the verification process at the examination center or for later admissions. Just make sure that the other details (like your father's name, date of birth, etc.) also match your official documents.

Hello,

Yes, it’s possible to join the Indian Army’s intelligence services even if you pursued computer science in classes 11 and 12. Here’s a breakdown of the process and criteria, particularly for civilian students and women:

  1. No JEE Requirement for Army Intelligence Corps : JEE is not required for joining the Army Intelligence Corps. JEE primarily facilitates entry into engineering programs, like at the National Defence Academy (NDA) or technical institutions. Intelligence roles are typically accessed through other Army pathways.

  2. Entry Through UPSC or SSC Examinations : Civilian students can join the Indian Army by clearing the Combined Defence Services (CDS) examination or the Short Service Commission (SSC). Women can apply for SSC, which allows entry into intelligence or other non-combat roles.

  3. Intelligence Corps Eligibility :

    • Age : Generally, candidates should be 19-25 years old.
    • Education : A graduate degree is usually required, though certain roles may prefer technical or specialized degrees.
  4. Criteria for Girls :

    • SSC Pathway : Women can enter through SSC (Tech) or SSC (Non-Tech) schemes.
    • Selection Process : Includes written tests, Service Selection Board (SSB) interviews, and medical tests.
    • Role Assignment : Upon selection, specialized training for intelligence roles is provided based on Army requirements and candidate aptitude.

In summary, while computer science knowledge can be beneficial, JEE is not mandatory for entering intelligence. Women can join the Intelligence Corps through SSC routes.

We all know the importance of class 10th and class 12th marksheet. Class 10th is considered  like an birth certificate. These certificates play a big role in higher studies and in jobs . During, documents verification, class 12th marksheet is also seen,along with other proofs ,so it might create problems for you as your name would be different  in those documents. But don't worry.

If there is a mistake in name's spelling or father or mother name,then CBSE provide correction option to the students. For  correction in name in 12th marksheet, you can follow few steps.

Students can take the application form for name correction from the official website of CBSE board.

Fill the application form with correct details.

Submit the required documents like school leaving certificate .

Then you need to deposit some few for correction.

After completing the process, board will make the necessary corrections once the verification of original records of the school is done.
