Mechanical Engineering, the most sought after and popular branch of engineering, is also known as the mother of all engineering branches. A mechanical engineer is one who designs and then implements the design to create anything – from the tiniest to the largest of machines, the simplest and even the most complicated. This branch of engineering puts to use the concepts and principles of physics and materials science to design, analyze, manufacture and the subsequent maintenance of machines, tools and plants. The core principles of mechanical engineering are – dynamics, thermodynamics, mechanics, kinematics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, energy, mecha-tronics and robotics. The mechanical engineering colleges are dedicated to the teaching and training of students thus in the art of technical creation and maintenance.
To be a mechanical engineer, you should take up science, with physics, chemistry, mathematics combination, at plus two level. Thereafter you should apply to a recognized engineering institute, where admission is typically based on entrance examination. After B Tech, you can either start working right-a-way, or enroll for M Tech. You can also go for higher studies – PhD and research. You can find employment with a wide range of industries, and in different disciplines, as this branch of engineering is multi faceted and interdisciplinary. You can also involved in research.
The Top 5 Mechanical Engineering Colleges:
1. Indian Institute of Technology (IIT)
Admission to B. Tech. in the seven branches of IIT (Delhi, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Mumbai, Chennai, Roorkee), is on the basis of the Joint Entrance Examination (IIT JEE) conducted by IIT. And for M. Tech., admission is based on the Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE). Eligibility for undergrad is science in plus two, and for master's, Bachelor's in engineering.
2. National Institute of Technology (NIT)
At the B. Tech level, NIT bases its admission on the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE), applicable only for science students. For master's, a B. Tech in engineering is essential (to apply for GATE).
3. Birla Institute of Technology and Sciences (BITS), Pilani
BITS has campus in Pilani, Goa, Hyderabad and Dubai. Admission to bachelor's program is on the basis of entrance examination conducted by the institute. Post graduation admission is dependent on an online entrance test, followed by an interview.
4. Institute of Technology, Varanasi
IT-BHU is affiliated to the Benares Hindu University (BHU). Undergraduate admission is on the basis of the the IIT JEE, and post graduate admission is on the GATE score.
5. Annamalai University,Tamil Nadu
The Faculty of Engineering and Technology of the Annamalai University was established in 1945. Courses are offered at the bachelor's and master's levels, and research facilities are available. Admission is on the basis of an entrance examination.
