Sir ji My son is going to be second year of CSE at MAIT delhi As he is getting Mechanical in DTU this time. Should we change from CSE MAIT delhi to mechanical DTU
Ans: Sanjiv Sir, MAIT Delhi’s CSE program consistently achieves 85–90% placement rates, with 290 students placed in 2023, top recruiters like Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and an average package of ?8–12 LPA, making it the most sought-after branch at the institute. Mechanical Engineering at MAIT records a placement rate of 70–75%, with only 45 students placed in 2023 and lower average packages, reflecting modest core sector opportunities. DTU’s Mechanical Engineering is well-established, with a placement rate of nearly 70% in 2023, an average package of ?11.23 LPA, and top recruiters like Maruti Suzuki, ZS Associates, and Technip. However, CSE remains the most in-demand branch across Indian engineering colleges, offering higher placement rates, more recruiters, and greater flexibility for IT, analytics, and software roles, compared to the narrower core sector scope of Mechanical Engineering. Shifting from CSE at MAIT to Mechanical at DTU means moving from a high-demand, high-placement branch to a core engineering field with fewer job opportunities and less flexibility for IT sector roles.
Recommendation: Retain CSE at MAIT Delhi, as it offers superior placement rates, higher salary packages, and broader career prospects compared to Mechanical Engineering at DTU, unless your son has a strong, clear passion for core mechanical engineering and is willing to pursue higher studies or specialized roles in that field. All the BEST for the Admission & a Prosperous Future!
