Hi candidate!

While specific books may vary between IITs, some commonly used books in BTech Mechanical Engineering are as follows:

• “Textbook of Engineering Mechanics” by R.K Bansal
• “Industrial Engineering and Management” by O.P. Khanna
• “Fundamentals of Thermodynamics” by Richard E. Sonntag
• “Mechanical Engineering Design” by Joseph Shigley and Charles Mischke
• “Manufacturing Engineering and Technology” by S. Kalpakjian and S.R. Schmid

Hope it cleared your query. Good day!

The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including:

• Circuit Analysis
• Electronic Devices & Circuits
• Signals & Systems
• Digital Electronics
• Communication Engineering
• Control Systems
• Electromagnetics & Antennas
• Computer Programming
• Engineering Mathematics

Note: The list of the curriculum again depends on the colleges.

Most of the IT examinations which are conducted for courses such as BCA have similar syllabus and consists of the following subjects such as:

• Quantitative Techniques: The questions on this topic comes from topics such as Geometry, Average, Profit and Loss, Quadratic Equation, Trigonometry etc.
• Analytical and Logical Reasoning: This unit consists of topics such as Codes, Statements and conclusions, Blood Relations and Series etc.
• General Awareness and Computer Fundamentals: It consists questions from general knowledge and tests candidates existing knowledge on the topics studied in Senior Secondary level in Computer Science

While it is not mandatory to have extra certifications to get a high-paying job after BTech CSE, additional certificates for skill-based learning definitely gives you an edge over other potential candidates, as the recruiter looks at you as an asset for the company. In the digitalized world that we're living in today with advancements taking place every day, it important to upskill yourself to stay relevant in the job market and enjoy health salary packages.

Skill-based certificate courses in Blockchain Technology, AI & ML, IoT, and Cloud Computing Technology, can prove to be an excellent move on your part to climb the ladder of career success in field.

The BTech CSE syllabus is incomplete without regular lab classes and internship programs because of the importance of programming, software development, and AI and ML knowledge required in the CSE field, which cannot be taught only through theory classes.

Premier institutes often collaborate with leading industrial partners to provide their students with the best internship exposure and training opportunities, which may act as an entry point to excellent earning opportunities later.

Dear candidate, the subject of Machine Design basically teaches you about the designing fundamentals of various types of machinery across industries. You get to learn about the different ways in which elements can be combined to form an equipment or machine system and get the work done in an effective manner.

The knowledge of this subject is very important for a mechanical engineer as he/she will have to put this to use in the future whenever they enter the workforce as a mechanical engineering professional.

Hope this cleared your doubt. Have a good day.
