Dear Dipankar, Mechanical engineering and civil engineering are the two the oldest and most frequently used areas of engineering. Civil engineering is primarily about the construction, planning, and maintenance of buildings, infrastructures, and buildings. Mechanical engineering, on the other hand, is in the simplest terms the technical current that deals with the mechanics of automobiles and other machines. Both areas of engineering are evergreen and offer students excellent career prospects. These fields are used in all areas of life and in all parts of the world. Vacancies are available in both the private and public sectors or from government organizations. I have many friends who have done B.Tech in Civil and Mechanical at LPU and well settled in their life, Placement at LPU for ME and Civil: Every year more than 550+ companies visit LPU for placements. LPU has a very good placement and achieved awards for employability also. The main thing for placement that I liked there is that LPU provides placement classes to the students from the first year, which helps students prepare for placement until their final year of the programme. The maximum package available for the ME and Civil programme is 31 LPA and the average package is 4.8 LPA and 4.2 LPA respectively. LPU received an Employability award by Aspiring Mind in 2020 for best placement Institute in India. LPU is ranked 10th best university for Training and Placement in 2019 by Knowledge Review
LPU got the Golden Star Award 2018 for being the University with the best placements in India. I hope this helps
Thanks!

Dear Ashish, With better and broader subjects, Mechanical engineering offers better scope than civil engineering. Civil engineering primarily targets a field whereas Mechanical engineering can be further divided into a variety of fields. My cousin did B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at LPU. I will tell you why mechanical engineering is better at LPU. LPU is a well renowned private university in India with 30K+ students all across the world and with 4000 experienced faculty members and staff members. There are more than 200 programmes to choose and with a great infrastructure, LPU provides all the facilities within the campus itself. LPU has earned many affiliations, recognitions, and accreditation down the lane and marks itself amongst the few of the top private universities. The Mechanical Engineering programme seamlessly articulates the concepts from basic Science to technology with relevant practice through lab and projects for building the problem-solving skills, keeping industry requirements in place for Design, Manufacturing, Thermal, etc. Specialisation. Placements: There are more than 100 companies that are coming in LPU for placements of the mech. Students. It varies from 3 Lacs per annum to 12 Lacs per annum. On average, the placements are 5 LPA in a very core company which gradually sees a couple of rapid promotions based on your hard work. Even the placement opportunities in LPU are much better than other private universities as it is ranked 5th amongst the other universities for its placement records. For more details, you may refer to the LPU website. Hope this helps
Thank You.

Mechanical and Civil Engineering are the two the oldest and most applied fields of engineering. Civil Engineering is primarily about construction, design, and maintenance of the civil structures, infrastructures, and buildings. Mechanical engineering, on the other hand, in the simplest words is the engineering stream that deals in the mechanics of automobiles and other machines. Both these fields of engineering are evergreen and offer great job prospects to the students. These fields are applied in every sphere of life and in all places of the world. The job openings are available in the private as well as the public sector or government organizations. If you are looking for best university for Civil and Mechanical Engineering course, I would say Lovely professional University is best University to pursue this course.
