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 the basic human needs and also caters the demand of most advanced civilized 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 passing out with a 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 very high. In the government sector, freshers can join as Assistant Engineers and go up the ladder as Executive Engineers. After completing B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, candidates can also find jobs in administrative and managerial positions in government or public sector industries or become a research scholar in Reputed Academic Institutes. Sectors like Non-conventional Energy, Robotics, Aerospace, Agriculture, Automobile,Defense, Chemical, Power plants as well as the Railways require Mechanical Engineers to design and maintain their machinery.
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 give 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.

Events and Activities
A quiz competition on “Engineering and Technology in India” was organised by Department of Mechanical Engineering, ODGI on 26th September 2018. The event was organised as a part of the co-curricular activities under Students’ Chapter of The Institute of Engineers (India). A small talk on various aspects of the development of Engineering and Technology in India was delivered by Mr. Parthasarathi Chattopadhyay (MIE).
A Workshop on “Industrial Automobile Application” was successfully organised by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, ODGI on 5th October, 2018. The aim of the workshop was to provide knowledge about present day automobile technology and its future objectives. Respected Speaker, Mr. Jit Dutta discussed the current research and development works going on across the world in the automobile sector. He detailed the advantages and disadvantages of present-day automobile technology. He further explained the emission norms or standards for
vehicles across India (BSES) and briefly compared them with foreign standards. The presentation was followed by a live demonstration of a car (model – TATA NANO) in the Mechanical Workshop.
Mechanical Engineering department gives special emphasis and attention in bringing out the new idea and concept through different kinds of projects by the students.
