Mechanical engineering is known as the evergreen branch among all the other branches of engineering. Traditionally, mechanical engineers have to deal with concepts such as mechanics, thermodynamics, robotics, kinematics, structural analysis, fluid mechanics with their applications in Automotive Sector, Power Sector, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Sector, Aerospace.
Now a days the scope of mechanical engineering is expanding beyond its traditional boundaries and is more of inter disciplinary in nature. Mechanical engineers are focusing their attention towards new areas such as nanotechnology, development of composite materials, biomedical applications, and environmental conservation. With this shift in paradigm the new job avenues have been opened for the mechanical engineers. Big players are going to setup their manufacturing plants in India.
Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering, dating back to when the first wheels were put to practical use by mounting them on an axle to make a cart. Throughout recorded history, people have been inventing and building increasingly more sophisticated devices and machines in order to improve the conditions of life.
When it comes to choosing the best university for engineering, IIT becomes the first preference but IIT is not just the only option. Few of the other leading options for engineering are:
National Institute of Engineering
Thapar University
UPES Dehradun
Geeta University, Panipat
College of Engineering, Pune
Symbiosis Engineering College
Delhi College of Engineering
Among these options, I would suggest you to checkout Geeta University University. I have heard a lot about GU, GU has well qualified faculties, great infrastructure, complete placement assistance, live projects, well equipped labs and lot more.
