Professional softwares in the CAD lab facilitate this further. The departmental society, Aaruh has been active in organizing technical and cultural programmes, quizzes, group discussions etc. Personality development programmes offered by the professionals are arranged for the benefit of the students. The department stands accredited by the National Board of Accredition. Our achievements are due to team work, invite aspiring students and teachers to join us and cooperate to meet our cherished goals. Mechanical Engineering continues to be a core branch of engineering for decades. During these decades, Mechanical engineering has strengthened itself with latest technologies and innovations. It has always been an Evergreen Branch which offers numerous job opportunities to students in all the industrial segments. Because of Globalization and relaxation in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policies, India is becoming industrial hub with the result that Indian youth has lot of scope to be absorbed in technical jobs. Mechanical engineering jobs are considered to be most stable jobs in corporate world. Our programme prepares students to become top-notch Mechanical engineers with thorough knowledge both in theory as well as practical skills. The program is initially broad based and specializes in the later years. The programme enables students just coming out of schools to acquire very good technical knowledge and hence guide them to the Road of Success.

Industry wise Career in Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineering is a core branch of Engineering and finds extensive applications in all fields of Engineering and Technology. With rapid growth and expansion in the Industrial sector, the employment potential for Mechanical engineers is very high. Need for Mechanical Engineers exists across almost all Industry segments. They are needed in Automobile, Aeronautical, Steel Plants, Petrochemical , Space Research and a host of others. One sector where there is huge potential in the coming years is the Aeronautical sector.Industries are witnessing a significant surge in activity, in the form of orders for more aircrafts, larger budgets for defence and civil aviation, procurements made by government agencies, and a commensurate demand for services in the area of engineering, manufacturing and avionics. This opportunity is worth US $ 10 billion over the next five to ten years. NASSCOM estimates that the aerospace and defence technology outsourcing market in India will touch US $ 1 billion by 2009. Most of this growth will be in the area of specialized engineering.

Job opportunities here fall within three broad areas design, research, maintenance and operations. Design or engineering design is a knowledge services that delves into the design and structure of aircraft or machines. There is a lot of software work and ideation involved in addition to in depth knowledge about different systems and their functioning. Design offers one of the largest areas of growth. Manufacturing related jobs are where engineers are actively involved on the production site, whether it is an Industrial unit, a hangar or a docking facility. They work on the actual body of the machine. Third is the area of maintenance, repair or overhaul or simply MBO (maintenance, repair and overhaul). This is an area which will see huge growth in the future as large Industries that have been established earlier need to be working smoothly and in an optimized manner. For example Air India in collaboration with US Multinational Boeing is setting up an ambitious MBO facility.

Most of the students at the B.Tech level get a generalist orientation. They would be advised to equip themselves with some domain training, which would enable them to select a faster growth trajectory in the Industry. For example, a good student could look to enter the Industry at a package of Rs. 3 -3.5 lakhs per annum. Within a span of ten years, depending on an average rate of growth, one could expect to get anywhere between Rs. 10 13 lakhs per annum.
