Hi Pradosh,

It depends on the company. They usually allow people from circuit branches to sit for their placements. But some of the top companies like Facebook London, Goldman Sachs, Amazon allow students from all the branches to sit for their placement, provided they have enough skills. If you clear GSoC and all then almost all companies would be keen to recruit you.

All the best

If you have no specific interest in any subject, mass recruiters like tcs, ibm and infosys are the companies for you. (3 - 3.5 lpa)

If you have prepared for CAT and Analytics tests, target companies like Affine Analytics, ZS associates, Mu Sigma and a few other analytics companies. ( 4 - 6 lpa)

If you are really good at mechanical, you have a slight chance of cracking core mechanical companies like honda, 3dplm, thermax, etc ( I say slight chance because most of the time IDians are not allowed to sit for mecha companies because their curriculum is incomplete for mechanical profile) ( 4 - 7 lpa)

If you want to persue product design, the best option is to go for higher studies or do internships and learn practically important stuff, ID curriculm's theory are insufficient to crack Product design jobs.

If you are good at design and has a decent portfolio - newgen is the company for you, they hire ui/ux designers. They look for good sense for design and logical creativity in a candidate. ( 5 - 6 lpa)

If you want to persue career in UI/UX, you have a lot of offcampus scope. With a good portfolio and a good resume, your degree in design will aid you in landing good jobs. ( 4 - 12 lpa, it really depends on how well you sell your skills, studying in NIT has nothing to do with it)

Hello,
You can absolutely change the major for your masters. If you want a masters degree in Mechanical engineering with a bachelors in Industrial design, it is absolutely possible. You will have to appear for GATE Mechanical engineering. 
Good Luck!

Hi

Well this is a tough decision and definitely you have to take this. 

Firstly, if you want to study a Core Branch then definitely Mechanical Engineering will suffice. Then you must go ahead with Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. 

If you want to study in a good, rank holder NIT then, NIT Rourkela is fit for you. But again, go with this option only and only if you want to learn Industrial Engineering or if maybe you don't have any kind of inclination towards any branch.

This choice making is tough because you are getting a Core and trending Branch in NIT Kurukshetra while a relatively lower desired Branch at one of the best NITs, i.e., NIT Rourkela. Think wisely and carefully.

Best of Luck. 

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Hello,

Kindly mention which branch you want to get.

Also you can wait for further rounds if you are not satisfied with branch you got in 1st round .

In later rounds let’s say till round 3,4 it can upgrade and then you can lock if you are satisfied .

It may also upgrade in next round .

Check the previous years cutoff to get better idea.

All the Best
