Interested in working and the development of machines? Then opt for mechanical engineering for after 12th and become a future Mechanical Engineer.
According to Wikipedia, Mechanical engineering is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with material science to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. B.Tech is a four-year duration program and is career-oriented. The course focuses on providing learning to prepare students for applying the principles of mechanical engineering for designing, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. During the course, they are trained on how to develop machine designs and related processes.
The skill set required to become a mechanical engineer is as follows-
The basic eligibility criteria to met by the students are-
Apart from cracking entrances, one needs to score good class 12th to get admission to a good and reputed college offering the course.
Some tips to consider in order to qualify these above-mentioned entrance exams-
Some of the top colleges to pursue B.Tech mechanical engineering are:-
After completing the course, the candidate has several jobs available for which he/she can apply. Below given is a list of job profile that a graduate in mechanical engineering is eligible-
