The main objective of this course is to make you a good "PROCESS ENGINEER, PLANT MANAGER, QUALITY INSPECTOR, PRODUCT DESGINER" with emphasis given on designing, operations, tooling

It's not same as that of Mechanical Engineering

Tough the 2nd year is somewhat similar but from third year the course becomes fully practical.

And in final year you have only 1 semester unlike mechanical and other branches where you have 2 semesters in your final year

One semester is for a 6 month long inplant training in an industry

And since many Mechanical engineering graduates are doing their masters in Industrial/production Engineering so this means that this branch has so much to offer.
