Hmm, with a JEE Main rank of 30,551, getting into Mechanical at SPCE (Sardar Patel College of Engineering) is honestly super unlikely. They mostly take students through MHT-CET, not JEE. And even if they do consider JEE scores for some seats, the cutoff for Mechanical is usually way lower like under 5,000, especially for general category.

If you're from Maharashtra and gave MHT-CET, you might still have a shot there, but with this JEE rank alone, chances are slim. If you're open to other colleges or branches though, you’ve still got decent options. Just depends on what you’re aiming for.

Hi Sirjana,

I appreciate how clear you’ve been. Yes, you can still apply for Diploma in Mechanical Engineering after passing 10th  you don’t necessarily need to pass 12th for polytechnic diploma courses. Since you’re considering management quota, colleges may have some flexibility with deadlines. I'd recommend visiting nearby private polytechnic colleges directly or checking their websites  most colleges keep a management quota admission window open longer than government counseling

Thank you

Hii,

Yes, you can. Polytechnic diploma in Mechanical Engineering requires only 10th pass. You don’t need to clear 12th for this course. Many private polytechnic colleges offer direct admissions under management quota without any entrance. You just need to provide your 10th marksheet, transfer certificate (TC), and ID proof. It’s advisable to choose a college approved by AICTE so that later you can apply for B.Tech through lateral entry. Also, management seats might cost more, but admissions stay open longer than in government counseling. So yes, even if you couldn’t pass 12th, diploma is a good option.

Hope you will find it helpful!

Yes ,it is possible to get admission through mangement quota for mechanical engineering. Most diploma courses require only 10th pass as a basic eligibility.if you want to to join through mangement quota,you have to contact with private college or polytechnic institute that offer mechanical engineering diploma, but fees under mangement quota are usually high. Addmissions are still open for diploma course, addmission process is going on till August end.

good afternoon, average B.E. Mechanical Engineering Fees in India

Government Colleges    25,000 – 75,000    Lower fees due to state subsidies; SC/ST students often pay much less

Private Colleges    1,00,000 –2,50,000    Varies by reputation, location, and facilities

Top Institutes (IITs/NITs)    75,000 – 2,50,000    Includes tuition + other charges; hostel fees extra

SC/ST category students often benefit from fee waivers or scholarships, especially in government and centrally funded institutions. In some cases, the effective annual fee can drop below 10,000.

Hi,

With a rank of 5.3 lakh in JEE Mains, getting a mechanical seat in PMEC Berhampur through normal OJEE counselling is very difficult, especially if you're an out-of-state candidate. OJEE mostly reserves seats for Odisha state students in the earlier rounds, and only a few institutional spot rounds might consider others.

However, if the college has vacant seats in September’s spot/institutional round, and they allow direct admission based on vacant quota, there’s a chance you could be considered. The issue is many Odisha colleges do not allow out-of-state students unless stated clearly by OJEE.

You can also consider other private colleges in nearby states that may accept your score.

Thank you!

RV College of Engineering (RVCE), Bangalore had around 70% placement in Mechanical Engineering. Core companies like Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, L&T, and Continental were major recruiters. The average package offered was around 5–6 LPA, with top offers going up to 12 LPA.

BMS College of Engineering (BMSCE), Bangalore saw 65–70% placement in Mech. Companies like ABB, Volvo, and TVS participated. The average package was 4.5–5.5 LPA, with some students placed in IT firms as well.

MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology (MSRIT), Bangalore recorded around 60% placements in Mechanical, with a mix of core and software companies. Average salary hovered around 4.5 LPA, with top offers touching 8–9 LPA.

NIE Mysuru had 50–60% placements, with recruiters including Toyota Kirloskar, Infosys, and Ashok Leyland. The average package was around 4–5 LPA.

Hii,

If you belongs to  general category and your rank is 3221, you actually stand a decent chance of securing admission in Mechanical Engineering in many government engineering colleges, especially if you’re applying through a state-level counselling process where the total number of seats is higher.

While this branch is in demand, the competition for it isn’t as intense as Computer Science or Electronics in many states. So, a rank around 3200 is considered strong for mechanical in most counselling rounds especially if you have filled in your choices wisely during the option entry process.

Thank you

Hello,

There are many websites that help you in mechanical engineering diploma:

• NPTEL (National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning)
• MIT OpenCourseWare
• Coursera
• Alison
• Khan Academy (mainly for math and physics basics)
• Mechanical Base
• EngineeringClicks
• Mechanical Geek

I hope it resolves your query!!

IIITDM Kancheepuram is known for its focus on design, manufacturing, and innovation. The mechanical engineering branch here has decent placements, though not as high as computer science. Students from mechanical have received average packages around 6.5 LPA. In specializations like smart manufacturing, the average can go up to 8.5 LPA. Some dual degree students have even secured packages up to 10 or 11 LPA.

The research opportunities are very good. The department works on areas like smart manufacturing, robotics, biomechanics, and design thinking. The curriculum is project based, and students get hands-on experience through labs and internships. This helps a lot if you're aiming for a career in research, design, or core mechanical roles.
