Introduction
Mechanical Engineering is the oldest and the broadest branch of engineering and also the backbone of all engineering disciplines. It covers a large area starting from agriculture to biomedical industry, primary manufacturing to robotics, automobile to aerospace, conventional to non-conventional power production. Briefly, this branch provides basic human needs and also caters to the demand of the most advanced civilised society.
A B.Tech Degree in Mechanical Engineering presents a lot of job opportunities due to vast developments in the fields of Design, Thermal, and Production. A student after completing the Degree in Mechanical Engineering can work in several industries including public and private sectors. With the rapid rate of growth in the industrial sector, the employment potential for Mechanical Engineers is quite high. In the government sector, the fresher can join as Assistant Engineers and go up the ladder as Executive Engineers. A student with a degree in Mechanical Engineering can also find jobs in administrative and managerial positions in government or public sector industries or become a research scholar in Reputed Academic Institutions. The sectors like Non-conventional Energy, Robotics, Aerospace, Agriculture, Automobile, Defence, Chemical, Power plants, Engineering Consultancy Services as well as the Railways recruit Mechanical Engineers on a regular basis.
The journey of Mechanical Engineering Department of OmDayal Group of Institutions started in the year 2010 with a sanctioned intake of 60 students. The department offers Bachelor of Technology programme in Mechanical Engineering to the students admitted through WBJEE and JEE Main. It is one of the largest departments in the Institution, with a number of highly qualified and dedicated Faculty Members and experienced Technical Assistants. The department has state-of-the-art laboratory and workshop facilities with sophisticated equipment to provide practical exposure to the students. Since its inception, the department has a wide reputation for the quality of teaching. The events like seminar, workshop, industry visit, vocational training, and internship are organized for the students. In addition to that, the students are also encouraged to participate in various extra-curricular activities. The students of the department also participate in various technical competitions at the national level. The pass-out students of the department are successfully working in renowned industries and also pursuing higher studies (Ph. D., M. Tech., MBA etc.) from premier institutions in India and abroad.
