After completing Aerospace Engineering from Pune, students have good career opportunities in government and private sector such as ISRO, HAL, DRDO, Boeing, Airbus, IndiGo, Air India and many defence companies. Aerospace Engineers have a starting salary of INR 4 LPA to INR 8 LPA for freshers and salary are going to rise up to INR 20 LPA or more with experience. Students also have another option to continue their higher studied like M.Tech or MS abroad for good career growth.

RWTH Aachen is widely considered a premier Technical institution in Germany and it consistently ranks among the best top global places for STEM like Engineering. 

Look at the global subject rankings for the RWTH Aachen University Engineering rankings by QS -

• Mechanical Engineering (#23)
• Electrical & Electronic Engineering (#20)
• Materials Science (#38)
• Chemical Engineering (#30)

BTech CSE is worth joining at NIT Andhra Pradesh because of the excellent placements, well-structured course curriculum, research opportunities, and vibrant campus life. 

The highest package for BTech CSE stood at INR 44.1 LPA in 2024 with a placement rate of 78.08%. Further, the course curriculum is designed to build strong theoretical and practical foundations. The electives include Data Analytics, Python, Java, etc.

RSCOE M.Tech fees is INR 1.7 lakh - INR 2.1 lakh. The fee depends on the specialisation. Students have to pay the fee through UPI/ Cash/ Cards/ Demand Draft. The fee structure can be obtained from the college's admission desk/ official site.

BTech CSE is the most sought after BTech specialisation at IIT Kanpur. The course is offered in full-time mode for a span of 4 years. BTech CSE students at IITK have bagged excellent placement packages over the years. In 2024, the vaerage package for BTech CSE stood at INR 52.8 LPA. 

Further, the course curriculum offers a strong foundation in Science and maths in the first 2 years, followed by highly advanced professional courses and electives in the last 2 years of the course. It is also the most competitve BTech branch with a closing cutoff rank of 271 in 2025.

Yes, Rajarshi Shahu College of Engineering does accept GATE for admission to its M.Tech programme. The college offers seats through both MHT CET and GATE scores. Students have to check and apply online for both. The college may reserve some of its intake for students having GATE score. 

Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur is a 4-year programme offered in full-time mode. The curriculum covers areas such as applied mathematics, scientific computing, and foundational engineering sciences. IITK offers electives in core areas including Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics and Structure and Properties of Materials, Engineering Design and Graphics, and Advanced Mechanics of Solids.

I wouldn't switch just because someone says one branch is better than the other. It really depends on what interests you and what kind of career you're aiming for.

Personally, I'd stay in Electrical unless I had a strong interest in Mechanical. A senior I know started in Electrical and later found plenty of opportunities in tech and analytics as well. Before changing, try talking to students from both branches and see which subjects you can actually imagine studying for the next 4 years.

According to Amity Gurgaon NIRF Report 2026, 120 M.Tech students secured jobs out of 155 graduates of batch 2025 with a median package of INR 4.2 LPA.
