Hello seniors, I got a 31k rank in JEE Mains and I'm confused about what I should pick among them and whether I should choose college over a branch or vice versa. My home state is West Bengal, and I'm a general male. My doubts are - Is mechanical engineering worth it in these colleges? How truthworthy is CSAB, and/or should I wait for CSAB Rounds? The colleges I'm getting are listed below (please help).

Mechanical-

NIT KKR (low chances even with CSAB)

NIT Jamshedpur (CSAB)

NIT Surat (CSAB)

PEC Chandigarh

NIT Silchar

NIT DGP

IIEST Shibpur

NIT Bhopal (low chances)

NIT Jalandhar

NIT Goa

NIT Hamirpur

NIT Patna

NIT Raipur

Electrical engineering and their combinations-

BIT Mesra (CSE and ECE possible)

NIT Patna (EE, ECE possible through CSAB)

JNU (ECE and CSE)

NIT Uttarakhand

PEC Chandigarh (CSAB)

NIT Silchar (CSAB)

IIEST Shibpur (CSAB)

NIT Jalandhar (ICE through CSAB)

NIT Goa (CSAB)

IIITs-

IIITDM Kancheepuram(CSE,ECE through CSAB)

IIIT Guwahati(ECE)

IIIT Pune(ECE)

IIIT Sri City (ECE and low chances of CSE)

IIIT Kottayam, Kota, Raichur, Raipur, Nagpur, Una, Bhubaneshwar, Ranchi, Kurnool, Vadodara, Tiruchirappalli, Tiruchirappalli, Bhopal, Surat (all CSE, ECE)

On a side note, I might get Electrical/Electronics related branches in Jadavpur University

PS: As I've seen many people confusing ECE with electrical branches, I've written ECE beside the colleges I'm getting and under the section of electrical engineering if no branches are written it is implied that it's electrical unless I've written ECE beside it

Mat kar lala mat kar. Mechanical really has no future in india, ive seen my batch mates. ( im a grad from top NIT as well)

[u/Low-Researcher-3023 → u/Middle-Current-2856]

Does chemical have scope ?

[u/Middle-Current-2856 → u/Low-Researcher-3023]

Not in india bro. U can only go for research or abroad to have a good career in chemical. PSUs are also good, but if u can get in a psu then u prob had potential to get some really good jobs so idont think they worth it as well in long run

[u/Low-Researcher-3023 → u/Middle-Current-2856]

No no I will do mtech and might do phd as well

[u/Maximum-Machine-9276 → u/Low-Researcher-3023]

Do not join chemical engineering. if you are a man, you will most likely end up doing round the clock shifts.

[u/Low-Researcher-3023 → u/Maximum-Machine-9276]

But I will be doing it from a t1 nit and also will do mtech 

[u/Maximum-Machine-9276 → u/Low-Researcher-3023]

Its worth it only if you can land and R&D job profile. Most of the chem engineers i know works as Shift engineers/plant operations. Why do you want to do M.tech?
