Some benefits of studying BTech Automobile Engg. course are given here:

Good Placement Rate: Since the time e-bikes and electric cars have made their way into the market, the earning opportunities have increased in the automobile industry. The placement rate is also quite good, with around 90% of Indian companies hiring automobile engineers for their contribution in the design and construction of vehicles. 
Decent Earning Potential: Automobile Engineering courses prepares students for careers in automobile product designing and manufacturing, research and development, maintenance and repair, testing and quality assurance. Graduates can also start with their own startup services, such as automobile showrooms, service centers, on-the-spot cleaning and maintenance services, automotive component manufacturing, training institutes, or serve as business consultants.
Exciting Trends: There is a lot of demand for automated and electric vehicles. Plus, there is focus on developing eco-friendly vehicles and reducing emissions. The development of self-driving ground-based vehicles, especially cars, along with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) further needs expert knowledge of areas like artificial intelligence, sensor technology, and robotics.

Automobile Engineering is the sub-discipline under Engineering which deals with the designing, manufacturing and overall maintenance of automobiles. The Automobile Engineers are responsible for suggesting modifications to automobiles as per the changing market demands. It is a highly-specialized branch of engineering which requires immense hard work as well as innovative skills from the professionals to build a promising career in this field. The course curriculum covers various aspects of vehicles, including Engines & Powertrains, Vehicle Dynamics & Control, Material Science, Mechatronics (combines mechanics, electronics & software),  etc.

Choosing the right universitu plays a crucial role in shaping your career, especially in a field like Automobile Engineering. One such University that excels in this area is Chandigarh University. Students pursuing Automobile Engineering  fro CU open doors to a wide range of career opportunities.

Thescope is vast, with students working in automobile manufacturing companies like Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki. The programme also prepares you for roles in  Research and Development (R &D), where you can contribute to the development of cutting-edge  technologies like electric vehicles (evS) and autonomous driving systems.

 Automobile Engineering students from CU also find opportunities in quality control, automotive design using Advanced CAD software and after-scale services, ensuring that vehicles meet the highest standards.
