QnA related to Mechanical Engineering

Hi there! If you're considering Mechanical Engineering at GIET University, Gunupur in 2025, here’s something that might help you plan better.

Based on previous year trends, the expected cutoff through JEE Main for Mechanical Engineering could fall between 8.5 to 10.5 lakh rank under the All India Quota. For students applying through OJEE, ranks between 7 to 9 lakh have usually been enough to get a seat in this branch. These numbers can vary each year depending on the number of applicants, seat availability, and counselling rounds.

GIET Gunupur has a solid reputation when it comes to core branches like Mechanical Engineering. The college offers good academic support, practical exposure through workshops and labs, and a decent placement record in industries related to manufacturing, design, and automation. For home-state students applying through OJEE, the chances are even better as cutoffs tend to be slightly more relaxed.

If your rank is somewhere close to the expected range, don’t lose hope. Many students get in during the later counselling or mop-up rounds. Keep a close eye on the official counselling schedule, fill as many choices as possible, and make sure to attend all rounds to improve your chances.

Wishing you all the best for your admission journey!

With a rank of 3656 in AU EET, getting a seat in core branches like ECE or Mechanical at Andhra University is difficult under the open category. However, you may have a chance under reserved categories or in later rounds. Keep backup options ready.

With around 70 percentile in MHT CET 2025, you have a good chance of getting admission in the Mechanical Engineering branch at the following government or government-aided colleges near Solapur:

  1. Walchand Institute of Technology (WIT), Solapur – Government-aided; previous year's cutoff for Mechanical was around 62–73 percentile (depending on category). You have a strong chance here.

  2. N.B. Navale Sinhgad College of Engineering, Solapur – Cutoff for Mechanical is usually around 50–60 percentile. Your score is well above this.

These are the best government or aided options in the Solapur region for Mechanical Engineering with your score. Be sure to apply through CAP rounds and check for category-specific cutoffs for better chances.

hi,

With 976 marks in IPE and a 70 percentile in JEE Mains, you do have a fair chance of getting a seat in Mechanical Engineering at SASTRA University. SASTRA mainly considers both JEE Mains scores and 12th board marks in their admission process. Since your IPE score is quite strong, it can work in your favour.

Usually, SASTRA uses a combined merit system where 12th marks and JEE Mains percentiles are balanced. For Mechanical Engineering, the closing scores are generally not as high as branches like CSE or ECE, so your chances look reasonably good.

Dear student,

Since you’ve completed your diploma , you’re eligible for lateral entry (direct 2nd year) into B.Tech Mechanical Engineering. That’s a great path if you’re looking to save time and get a solid technical degree.

If you’re looking for good colleges , you have both government and private options:

  • Government colleges like JC Bose University (YMCA) Faridabad , or state government engineering colleges are great if you want affordable fees and strong academics.

  • Private universities like Manav Rachna University , Chandigarh University , or LPU also accept diploma holders and offer modern infrastructure, good labs, and decent placement support.

Make sure to check if the college accepts lateral entry and whether they require a specific entrance test (like LEET) in your state.

Hello,

With an AP EAMCET rank of 75,000 , you could potentially be considered for admission to some private engineering colleges in Visakhapatnam , especially for ECE, EEE , and Mechanical Engineering . While the best college will depend on specific programs and your priorities,

Here are few colleges that you can consider:

  1. Velagapudi Ramakrishna Siddhartha Engineering College (VRSEC)
  2. Vignan's Institute of Information Technology
  3. Annamacharya Institute of Technology & Sciences

Thank you!!

Hey, Aspirant

Reputation & Campus Comparison:

NIT Agartala: Established in 1965, larger campus and older Institute.

NIT Uttarakhand: Established in 2009, small urban campus.

Placement Scenario :

NIT Agartala Mechanical Branch has a solid core placement with a package around 7 LPA avg.

NIT Uttarakhand ECE Branch has strong IT and core placement with a package of 10 LPA avg to max of 32 LPA .

Recommendation :

Choose NIT AGARTALA (Mech) if you prefer a well established campus with core engineering placements.

Choose NIT UTTARAKHAND (ECE) if you prefer go on IT side with high package.

Hope this helps you choose one .

Comparing IIT Roorkee Mechanical and IIT Ropar Mechanical in terms of MNC placements:

  • IIT Roorkee has a long-established reputation with strong industry ties and typically sees higher placement rates and some very high salary offers in Mechanical. Many top MNCs like Google, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs visit regularly.

  • IIT Ropar is newer but growing fast, with good connections to big MNCs too. Their average packages are competitive, especially in core branches, and companies like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google also recruit here.

But On Bottom line:
For Mechanical specifically, Roorkee generally has a slight edge in MNC placements and packages due to its longer legacy and network. But Ropar is catching up and offers great opportunities with some big names too.

Both are solid choices — if you want a more established brand and higher chances of top MNCs, go Roorkee. If you want to be part of a newer IIT with growing opportunities, Ropar is good too.


Best IITs for each branch:

Civil: IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Roorkee

Chemical: IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Madras, IIT Kanpur, IIT Guwahati

Mechanical: IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi, IIT Kanpur, IIT Kharagpur

Hi dear candidate,

Both of these are IITs and hold their own reputation but still there are few differences:

  • IIT Roorkee is older and thus, has strong alumni network with a lot more graduates who praise it.
  • IIT Hyderabad is a newly established institution with modern approach but with weak alumni network.

If we talk about placements, then it is to be noted that Hyderabad is an IT hub and IIT Hyderabad is known to have higher packages in mechanical field.

ALL THE BEST !
