Diploma in Mechanical Engineering colleges in India

The difference is simple. Mechanical Engineering is a core Engineering branch with a career scope in multiple industries. Automobile Engineering is more of a niche branch that is focused on the Automobile industry. 

Hence, the career scope and knowledge in Automobile Engineering are limited. 

You'll get all the base components of research, design, manufacturing, and testing of mechanical systems, equipment, and machinery in Mechanical Engineering. Automobile Engineering gives the know-how of vehicle design, manufacturing, engine testing, upgradation, and overall maintenance and fuel management of vehicles, especially cars. 

It's limitless. You see, Mechanical Engineers are hired by every other industry across the globe for many job roles. They are also in high-demand in government departments like DRDO, NTPC, Indian Railways, etc.
