Production Engineering

Production engineering is a combination of manufacturing technology, engineering sciences with management science. A production engineer typically has a wide knowledge of engineering practices and is aware of the management challenges related to production. The goal is to accomplish the production process in the smoothest, most-judicious and most-economic way.
Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines.
Production has a bit better scope than civil as of now. The placements and jobs are better than civil and there are many areas of interest that one can pursue after production engineering.
On the other hand the condition of civil engineers is not so good.
The core jobs are very less in numbers. Civil Department has much lower placements as compared to other branches in almost all colleges, many students from civil opt for IT roles due to lack of Core jobs. So what is the use of studying civil engineering for 4 years?
Even the premier institutes like IITs and NITs are facing same problem with civil.
Production beats civil by one or two points max.
Choose whichever you are passionate about.

Hi there,
SVNIT is amongst the top 10 NITs of India and also one of the oldest technical institutes. It was established in 1961 with just 3-4 branches and mechanical was one amongst them.
So, being among the oldest institutes and one of the oldest core branches, the department is well settled and well equipped with the required necessary labs also a no. of new labs have been constructed which will mostly start in this academic year. It has faculty members with ocean of knowledge in various fields of Mechanical Engineering.
Some insights of the colleges:
Intake: 120 (mechanical)
Placements
Average package: 5.15 LPA (mechanical)
Highest package: 10.6 LPA (mechanical)
Lowest package: 2.25 LPA (mechanical )
Recruiters:
John Deere, Honda, Microsoft, Airtel, Bharat Petroleum, Endurance, HSBC Bank, Vedanta, Infosys, TCS, Pidilte, Tata, Maruti Suzuki and many more.
Here is the link to get more insights of the placement at SVNIT.

Hope this helps.

Production engineering is a unique branch which includes engineering and management both. It is required in many sectors as such. The main job opportunities are asfollowing -
1) Almost all automobile Companies: One of the best place to work for PE
2) Some PSU companies even hire specially for PE, like Vishakhapatnam Steel. But seats are very less.
3) Some PSU Companies hire as a mechanical engineer either through GATE or their own written exam like SAIL, GAIL, BHEL, NTPC etc.
The roles offered in production are generally as following -
1.) Quality
2.) Purchase & procurement
3.) Production / shop floor engineer
4.) Maintenance engineer
5.) Logistics & stores
6.) Design & product development etc
7.) ERP stream (SAP, Oracle, other ERP software's) etc.
There are more roles offered than this. This is just the general list.
Try to get into IITs, NITs or other CFTIs for B.tech and then appear for GATE for post-graduation or for jobs in PSUs. For studying abroad appear for GRE and TOEFL. Consider all available options before making a decision.
