Hey

Mechanical engineering is one of the traditional and broadest disciplines in engineering field. It involves the design, examination and manufacturing of various types of mechanical systems using the principles of physics and material sciences.

Metallurgy is a specialized field of physical sciences, which involves the study of physical and chemical features of metallic elements, their compositions and inter metallic compounds.

Talking about NIT Nagpur, placements for metallurgical students are decent whereas The placements are good for the mechanical engineering department. About 95% of the students from this branch got placed. The highest package offered was 17.3 LPA, the average package offered was 6.57 LPA, and the minimum package offered was 3 LPA.

Placement at NIT Patna for mechanical branch last year, where 65% to 70% of the students got placed from our college. Almost 90% of students get placed every year, especially from the computer science branch. This year, the highest salary package offered was 10.50 LPA for the students of ME. The average salary package offered was 7.50 LPA. But some of the CSE students got really high salary packages last year and this year also.

The above given details are based on the review given by the passed out students from the respective colleges.

Overall you must decide which branch is suitable for you, if you worked hard for 4 years no matter which branch you belong to you will get achievement in future.

Hope this helps,

Good luck!
