Career in Mechanical Engineering in India

**Sib Bachchan** · 04-03-2012

I am currently studying in F.Y.B.Sc. I.T. Last year I had tried for engineering courses, but due to inadequate makes in entrance test I couldn’t apply for engineering courses. This year I am again attempting the entrance test I am confident of acquiring enough marks to gain admission for engineering courses. My interest lies in Mechanical engineering. Can anybody tell me about Mechanical engineering? Which colleges should I try for Mechanical engineering?

Mechanical engineering is the branch of engineering that deals with principles of physics and material science for designing, analyzing, developing and maintaining mechanical components. This field involves use of mechanical skills and heat for operation and development of machines and tools. It is one of the oldest branches of engineering. Mechanical engineers can work on many things like fax machine, motor bikes, cars, aircraft & powerplant.

Mechanical engineers are always part of staff in many organizations. The type of work that an mechanical engineer has to undertake depends on the type of company he/she is working for. In India, mechanical engineers are needed in both public and private sectors. Due to steep rise in industrial sector in India, need of Mechanical engineers has also steeply increased. Every company that has manufacturing and production unit needs mechanical engineer for smooth operation f their mechanical units.

Using your knowledge of mechanical engineering you can specialize in one of the many fields related to Mechanical engineering. You can specialize in field of robotics. In robotics you have to combine electric systems with mechanical systems with combination of softwares to produce an automated hybrid unit that can perform certain tasks automatically without any human assistance or involvement. One can also specialize in field of Thermodynamics. This field deals with chemical engineering along with Mechanical engineering. It studies the conversion of energy from one form to another as it passes through the machine.
