I would suggest you to prefer Mechanical at JNTU Kakinada. JNTUK, apart from being the Best State Technica University in Andhra Pradesh, has a legacy of years, with strong curriculum, faculty and research facilities. However for a Strong career in the Technology and Manufacturing Sector, you should prepare for GATE, followed by MTech in Mechanical from some of the Higher Technical Institutions like Top IITs/IISc Bangalore, just like many others from JNTU Kakinada. JNTUK, not only has a strong alumini base but also excellent academic and employer outlook with strong Placements. NIT Puducherry is not an established NIT, and has bleak academic and research infrastructure besides inexperience in Faculty and Bleak Placements.
