Mechanical Engineering – About the course, Top Colleges, Admission Procedure and Placement Opportunities
If you played building blocks in your childhood and still love to make small tools around your house, then your career as a Mechanical Engineer is all set. But to become an exceptional in Mechanical Engineering, all you need to do is drive your career gear towards the field from scratch.
Who is a Mechanical Engineer?
A mechanical engineer is an expert who designs, analyses and manufactures machines that help reduce human load. From coding and designing to manufacturing and analyzing, they have a pivotal role in the development of a product. Thus, those products ease the hassles in real life.
Career graph of Mechanical engineering
Mechanical engineers are required in information technology (IT), automotive, aerospace, biotechnology, electronics and energy industries. Some mechanical engineers have also turned as scientists for research centers. Apart from that, mechanical engineers have scope in ISRO and also in the Indian Armed Forces.
Some of the main sectors that recruit mechanical engineers are Automobile, petroleum, oil, gas, transport, railways, aircraft, laser materials, robotic inspection systems and cryogenic technology.
How to proceed for Mechanical engineering after Class 12?
After Class 12, colleges select students based on direct admission and entrance exam admission. Students must have scored above 60% in their examinations and should have physics, chemistry and mathematics as their core subjects. In the case of reserved candidates, an aggregate score of 55% and above is accepted.
College options available for students
Students finishing class 12 exam can take mechanical engineering or its specializations at State-run universities, colleges affiliated to State-run institutes like Anna University, Deemed universities recognized by UGC and Centralized Universities such as IIT.
