Shiksha All Time Q&A

Mechatronics is a specialization in Mechanical Engineering which is used to create and maintain robotic structures using the principles from Mechanical Engineering. Few colleges offer this course as a degree course in B.Tech and few as a post graduate course in M.Tech. I would suggest doing B.tech in ME and then specializing in Mechatronics as Mechanical provides you ample of opportunities if you ever change you mind for Mechatronics. The job opportunities in this sector are few but it is fine as the number of Mechatronics engineers is also less as compared to other branches. You can find job opportunities in Electronics, Automobile, Manufacturing, mining, transport, defense etc. You may also find opportunities in Army, the Navy and the Air force and organisations like the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Some of the profiles you can work for are -Industrial Robots (Operation and Maintenance) and Automation related areas.Avionics and Aeronautics.
Industrial systems and Process control like on PLCs and pneumatic control.
This is just some of the ideas I can get now, there can be more opportunities out there.

Hi,
R.V. College of Engineering (RVCE) established in 1963 is one of the earliest self-financing engineering colleges in the country.

Production engineering is a unique branch which includes engineering and management both. It is required in many sectors as such. The main job opportunities are asfollowing -
1) Almost all automobile Companies: One of the best place to work for PE
2) Some PSU companies even hire specially for PE, like Vishakhapatnam Steel. But seats are very less.
3) Some PSU Companies hire as a mechanical engineer either through GATE or their own written exam like SAIL, GAIL, BHEL, NTPC etc.
The roles offered in production are generally as following -
1.) Quality
2.) Purchase & procurement
3.) Production / shop floor engineer
4.) Maintenance engineer
5.) Logistics & stores
6.) Design & product development etc
7.) ERP stream (SAP, Oracle, other ERP software's) etc.
There are more roles offered than this. This is just the general list.
Try to get into IITs, NITs or other CFTIs for B.tech and then appear for GATE for post-graduation or for jobs in PSUs. For studying abroad appear for GRE and TOEFL. Consider all available options before making a decision.

Students not generally prepare for SRMJEEE or VITEEE they generally prepare JEE but they really made a mistake if by chance you can't score well in JEE then there must be a backup plan so that you're in safe side. So for this Student must be aware with the question pattern. SRM just check the knowledge of student that he is eligible for engineering is not just you need is a proper knowledge of basics and just remember all the formulae. As almost all the questions asked can be easily solved by simply putting the values in the formula.
NCERT books is quite enough for fir SRMJEEE and if he/she unable to understand better from NCERT then he may go to D.C. Panday for physics.
O.P. Tandon, R.C. Mukherjee,P.Bahadur for chemistry concept and numerical problem.
R.D. Sharma, Trigonometry, Geometry Book S.L. Loney, Higher Algebra Hall and Knight, Problems in Calculus I.A. Maron is enough for SRMJEEE to get main campus even you can score good in JEE through these book condit.ion if you studied well through this book
Best wishes.

Hi,
You can crack any engineering examination in 3 months if you are quite clear over your concepts and have a perfect time management.
However, here are some tips to be followed to get good results in 3 months:
UPTU/UPSEE examination requires different approach for preparation. The level of questions asked in this examination is moderate. Some of the questions are even repeated from previous year question papers. It also happens that in UPSEE/UPTU examination some questions are asked from JEE Main Paper. So, it is very important to solve as many previous years question paper as you can. You should also solve IIT JEE Mains last 5 year's question paper.
Go through the previous year question papers. As if you start its preparation 3 months before then it's better to go through last 20 years previous papers which are available at any stationary shop and revise your 11th and 12th standard books.
For physics: - It's better to opt those books which contain different types of questions. No need to work over HC Verma. 40 days preparation for UPSEE from Arihant text book and previous year's papers from Arihant will be helpful.
For chemistry:- P. Bahadur and Ranjeet Shahi are good as they contain a lot of questions as well as they also carry the questions according to the level of difficulty.
For maths: - Mathematics for UPSEE, it would be better to go for R.K Sharma (MCQ) and previous years papers from Arihant.

Choosing the right coaching institute is really important. Consider following factors while making a decision-
1. Look up at the records of the coaching institutes for past few years. See if the numbers are steady or fluctuating too much. If numbers are fluctuating too much it means that the coaching institute is not able to meet the requirements of everyone.
2. Very important - Talk to the students in the coaching personally and get their reviews about it.
See how the coaching treats everyone. A good coaching should give attention to every student. It is the case in many institutes that toppers are given special attention while average students are neglected.
There is no problem in giving special attention to toppers but in this process other students shouldn't been harmed.
3. Location also is a very important factor. See if you will be able to stay in a hostel for two years and study properly or would prefer coaching in your own city.
4. Research - Do it properly before taking admission in any coaching institute.

CSE from BITS, Pilani is better as compared to NIT, Trichy.
Placements: Placements are 100% for the computer science branch. The highest package in India was 35 LPA and the lowest package for CS in India was 12 LPA. The average salary comes out to be around 22 LPA. This is very close to previous year's average too. Top shot companies like Microsoft, Oracle, Amazon, Directi, Adobe, Samsung, HP, Visa, etc. to the newest startups like Nutanix, Crowdfire, etc. were among the recruiters. The roles offered mainly include software development and very rarely testing roles are given.
BITS, Pilani is an amazing place to complete your graduation. Your campus life will fill you up with memories that will last a lifetime.
Pros:
1. Amazing crowd.
2. Lively campus life.
3. Great placements.
4. Practice school semester long internship program.
5. Infrastructure has improved a lot. By 2016-17, most hostels will be best in the country.
Cons:
1. Syllabus seems a little outdated.
2. Less research.
3. Not all faculty is supportive, though this maybe the case everywhere.
4. Weather is very tough to adjust too. Power cuts in summers add to your woes.
5. Administrative offices are pretty much like government offices. Work is slow and painful to get done though some officials are helpful.
6. Pretty far away from civilization. Nearest city is Delhi/Jaipur, both 200Km away. However, this is also a good thing, as you spend more time in the college, which somehow I believe helps in the long run.

This is one answer where I have no hesitation in telling you that Jaypee Institute of Information Technology is a lot better than its competitor by loads and bounds.
Amity University is actually bigger in terms of infrastructure and is more maintained by all means, but this does not hold Jaypee Institute from being held back.
Jaypee has a much better reputation in terms of academics, faculty and placements.
Placements at Jaypee are huge. The average package being offered to students being 7-8 Lacs, while the average package for amity being 4-5 Lacs.
The faculty at Jaypee is highly qualified and none of them being less than a Masters degree holder.
Although I must tell you about a recent happening at Jaypee. It got blacklisted due to some reason and so has lost its fame and reputation. But, it is safe to join and there will be no harm to the students in getting admission there. Also, there has been no decline in the placements or the students joining the college.
I hope you make the right choice.
