Hello,
You can absolutely change the major for your masters. If you want a masters degree in Mechanical engineering with a bachelors in Industrial design, it is absolutely possible. You will have to appear for GATE Mechanical engineering. 
Good Luck!

Hi

Well this is a tough decision and definitely you have to take this. 

Firstly, if you want to study a Core Branch then definitely Mechanical Engineering will suffice. Then you must go ahead with Mechanical Engineering at NIT Kurukshetra. 

If you want to study in a good, rank holder NIT then, NIT Rourkela is fit for you. But again, go with this option only and only if you want to learn Industrial Engineering or if maybe you don't have any kind of inclination towards any branch.

This choice making is tough because you are getting a Core and trending Branch in NIT Kurukshetra while a relatively lower desired Branch at one of the best NITs, i.e., NIT Rourkela. Think wisely and carefully.

Best of Luck. 

Hope this helps.

Cheers! 

Hello,

Kindly mention which branch you want to get.

Also you can wait for further rounds if you are not satisfied with branch you got in 1st round .

In later rounds let’s say till round 3,4 it can upgrade and then you can lock if you are satisfied .

It may also upgrade in next round .

Check the previous years cutoff to get better idea.

All the Best

Only a few or none ID related placements are there. If you want to pursue product design then go for higher studies  If you have no specific interest in any subject mass recruiters comapnies are for you. 

If you have little good at mechanical then have a  slight chance to crack core comapnies.

Dear aspirant,

Don't loss your hope. The Cut-off score varies each year. So, no one can predict that exaxtly.

But by investigating previous years cut-off, as you rank is 122 in GEN, you can apply to any of the Top IITs and other colleges. 

Hope you will get chance at IIT-B or IIT-D for M.Des in Industrial Design. 

Hello Saurabh,

Industrial Design is a field of study in which both applied art and applied science are used together in order to improve a product in terms of its visual aspects, applicability, and usage. 

Job Role

A government college is much better for doing B. Des than private ones in terms of fees because for most of the designing courses, the fees is very high in the private ones.

 I hope I was able to provide all the details you asked for. Still, if you want to know anything else, feel free to ask or comment.
