Engineering

Placement Statistics of CU on the whole.

CU had 9,124 in the engineering placement drives (batch 2023-24) and other programs.


In 2024-25, the engineering companies that took part in the placement season are more than 240.


Core-companies visiting on Mechanical and allied branches have been on the increase too.


Specifics of Mechanical Engineering.

Mechanical is lower than CSE / ECE in terms of average median / average package. As an example in 2023, constitutional data indicates:

Branch Median/Average Package
Mechanical Engineering Rs 4 LPA (median)


Good performers also have higher offers. In the Mechanical division, the following are recent best packages reported: 11 LPA (Energy Exemplar India).

, 10 LPA (High Radius) 
Chandigarh University
, ~7-8 LPA for many core roles.


There are cases of Rs 3 LPA as the lowest packages of mechanical can. 


Recruiters & Types of Roles

Mechanical Engineering students are recruited into core / manufacturing companies and big companies in the related disciplines. A few of the companies quoted: Ashok Leyland, Yamaha Motors, Alstom Transport etc.


The positions are apparently mostly in design, manufacturing, R&D support, quality, etc., core engineering positions can be found, particularly with good project / academic credentials.


Facilities & Support

CU purports to have contemporary laboratories, fine facilities, and equipment such as CNC, simulator software, etc. in the hands of Mechanical undergraduates. These assist students to be industry-enabled.

Internships and industry tie-ups are also emphasized upon.

What the Data says in Aerospace / Related Branches at CU.

Placement Rate & Recruiters

Chandigarh University boasted of 50 plus companies in Mechanical, Automobile and Aerospace Engineering in the placement drive of batches 202425.


It also reports that more than 94 percent of students in these branches (Mech/Auto/Aero) got jobs during campus placements.


Top and average salary (CTC) Numbers.

Most recent placement drives had a top domestic engineering package university-wide of about RS 54.75 LPA. 


But in the case of Mechanical, Automobile and Aerospace Engineering in particular the maximum package that has been reported in one of the more recent drives was 11.5 LPA.
The Wire

In earlier data or student reviews, specifically in the aerospace case, we can find references to aerospace having the highest price of - -14-15 LPA, average of -6-7 LPA (or less in certain reviews) based on batch and eligibility.

Student Feedback & Realities

It has been reviewed that in one aerospace batch, 10-15 students were placed in a batch of 60 (which appears to be low, but could be due to eligibility, performance or company demands).
Shiksha

There are internships that can be done and some of them are related to organisations. But new aerospace graduate roles are sometimes all more on the maintenance, design support end testing than directly high-end R&D or space industry positions (dependent on performance and opportunity).
