[@dhruv1863]

Being an engineer myself, during my student days, I felt the same about the courses and it's application in the real world. Due to herd mentality, all the students get the same perception that what we study is not relevant in the industry today. And students don't take the word of the faculty on it even if they say it is important. The best solution to this problem imo is to bring an external Industry working professional and let him take a seminar where he/she can review the syllabus infront of the students and explain its importance with keeping the industry aspects in mind and share it'd application in day to day work in that field with real life example. This will actually make students believe that what they are taught is really useful. And really good video sir.

Of course, I have a stronger know-how of other aspects, but the basic foundations are extremely important and should be learnt as early as possible.

Very nice explanation sir!! I am an MTech graduate from IIT KGP from 2013 in EE. I work as Assistant Prof. at a deemed university in Odisha. I would really like to add one thing to this sir!! Core students do very well in software-based jobs or coding jobs. I have seen them sometimes outperform CSE students. That's because of the problem-solving skills which they develop when they go through tough subjects like MECH, EE, etc. Programming skills can be developed in less time but Problem-solving skills cannot be developed at once, they gradually come out of our brain when we train our brain through tough problems. That's why, a Mechanical, EE, ECE student can get into IT/Software any day but the reverse is not true. May be u r not working in the core, but the problem-solving capability u develop through core subjects helps u to excel in IT. This a students need to understand. Thanks!!!!

[@sakshamkumar3]

Very nice video Sir! It's really great to see your insights on matters like these. After graduating in mechanical engineering from one of the IITs, many of my friends joined jobs in different kinds of profiles - core job in big established companies, core job in start-ups, software jobs etc. And as I talk to them regularly, I can clearly say that the theories learnt in B.Techs do help. It's just that if someone works in a very big company, many basic things have already been worked on and therefore, it may feel like we are not utilising the B.Tech courses. But that is true only on a superficial level. It would be very hard to operate specialised software or deal with new situations (for example, if something goes wrong somewhere) if someone has not studied the basics because these basics enable us to think in a logical systematic manner. And in start-ups, the involvements of even the basic concepts of mechanical engineering are much much more because there, many things have to be worked on from scratch. And just to give a balanced perspective (related to the distortion energy point), not directly utilising basic things happens in software jobs too. I know many people working in big software companies and they say that they did not have to implement basic data structures like linked list in the job. But of course again, if the person had not studied linked list and basic data structures and algorithms, I don't think they would be able to do their job properly because those things have enabled the person to be capable of handling the job duties (like the basic skills of debugging codes etc.), similar to the way the basic theories have enabled a mechanical engineer to handle responsibilities in core jobs.

I am not from IIT . I am from Jadavpur University, Kolkata and my domain is also not Mechanical rather I'm from Electronics and Telecommunication and I'm currently doing my M.Tech in Automation and Robotics. I strongly believe one thing that "Mechanical Engineering is the BAAP of all the engineering domains." When I entered the field of engineering after 12th, I didn't have much of a clear idea regarding the various branches. But later on I realized what's the importance of Mechanical engineering. It's like Mechanical gave birth to the field of engineering and it's above all the branches. By the time I realized this it was too late to change my domain. But never mind . I have immense respect for this field of engineering and also towards the people who took this field as their main passion and I strongly protest against the people who shows disrespect towards Mechanical Engineering. And one more thing that I personally believe , people may disagree with me is that engineering is not only about earning money and getting a very handsome salary package rather it's more of creating new things, improving the old things. We engineerings we are the creators of the society, we are not money earning machines. The scientists think and we engineerings, we make it happen in reality.

Kudos to both the student and the professor for being honest on their part. The confusions that this student has is almost very common with the students across India irrespective of the course, perhaps this is because our curriculum and courses somewhere undermines the skill building part and providing perspective to the learner and focuses more upon covering huge theories. I often feel that students have a little liberty inside the classroom to ask questions, discuss the utility of the course and understand the philosophy of the course, all they do is to cover the prescribed syllabus, mug up facts and formulas and write the paper to secure good marks. The fact that the professor took the onus of responding to these misunderstanding, clarifying things and putting things into perspective is praiseworthy.

I got into Mechanical Engineering purely by coincidence (due to my JEE rank and my parents’ preference for me to study in Delhi). Though my father taught physics, I didn’t know much about Mechanical but grew to like it by the time i reached the 3rd year at IIT Delhi. My teachers played a key role in mentoring me to pursue a PhD, which really made me excited and passionate about this branch. Now i work in diverse areas all because of the training i received during my formative years at IITD. I have been practising my craft at IITD as a faculty since 2011 and this has been the best journey life could have chosen for me.

One thing off about Tharun's video I felt is that it is much more concerned with job and not joy of learning. I understand its his time to be taking that one seriously but anyone who is yet to make a decision to be a part of this wonderful subject would be scared. Even I am a freshly graduated guy so might be lacking some real experiences but just to let IIT/NIT/BITS mech guys know, you WILL get a job and a decent one (if you're not slacking off). Just do what interests you and mechanical is bag of balls of different colors, there'd be atleast one of your liking. So in initial years instead of running after DSA, focus on why you came to college for. Explore and Learn. Thanks a lot sir for clearing up several points which were a little off.

[@Prof_JC]

Spoken like a proper senior guy! Yes, some of the points in the original video were presented in an extremely polarized fashion completely shorn of any nuance. So, I thought I'd bring some balance to the viewpoint.

[@subhadeep_2001]

Other than the tests and assignments, mechanical subjects are quite interesting. It is those tests and assignments which kills the interest. This sem I could not learn the things properly. In the beginning of the semester everything was going fine but suddenly everything became fast and almost everyday I have been busy with with assignments or preparing for the tests. It's like I need to complete the tutorials as quickly as possible before the exam so that I can score good. It would have been better if the sem has been longer

Apart from having more money in your account at the end of each month, there is nothing special in these jobs and I respect hardcore mechanical engineers more than these Infosys, TCS or Cognizant so called engineers, if not these companies people who do similar jobs in not so branded companies get 10-25k ( I know them personally).

Sir, you are very patient 😅 Coming to what needs serious thought in the IIT system is the institute's expectations from an IITian. There can be two schools of thought (or maybe more): 1. Whether the IIT system wants to help a student in learning the subjects seriously and help them smoothly achieve the related professions with ease and strong fundamental knowledge in that subject. 2. Whether students are expected to explore the practicalities and hardships of life after left free and then settling down somewhere in a long run and struggles (not necessarily in engineering). (Because the IIT system today is way different than that of 10-15 years before)

I think the student is rightfully frustrated for the choices he made, its just that the way he conveys is as expected of someone from his age. The value of mechanical engineering or anything for that matter is worth something to someone only if they have the passion to drive it forward. For example a guy who doesn't understand "Art" cannot learn to respect the value of underlying complex mechanics which makes a great art possible, same holds true for mechanical or any other stuff in life. The underlying problem here is that kids choose these courses to earn money, and they will continue to be frustrated as long as their underlying passion gets dominated by some 60 lpa yielding juicy job market.

Great Video, and Kudos to sir for analyzing the same so deeply. But I’d like to mention that while there are students who want to shift from core to circuital just looking at the placements, there are also students from the circuital side who turn away from the same to follow their passion. I’m an alumnus of IIT-KGP, B.Tech CSE (2014-2021) but by the second year, it was a strong realisation that hit me that leave CSE, not even engineering is what I wanted to do in life. Thats where I shifted away from the same and what being in IIT gave me is the opportunity to try my hands on fields such as Finance, BizDev and so on before I found Marketing as the field I’m passionate about. What IIT (especially KGP) also gives, which many forget, is that platform, and the worry-free path ahead towards trying what you want in life even if your department doesn’t suit you. With that, and having an amazing faculty advisor as a support, I pivoted to refreshing myself for CAT in my final year, and I’m happily in my second year at FMS Delhi, having found my passion and love, at an age when many still are trying to figure the same out. Even if I get an opportunity to go back in time, even with the Year backs I had, I’d still happily choose KGP all the time. Kharagpur makes your personality apart from making you ready to face life, and gives ample opportunities to do what you’re passionate about.

[@wasiffauz953]

Sir, I agree that knowledge never gets wasted, but seeing from student's perspective, job security is very important. Even I am a 4th year chemical engineering student, but I totally agree that the core jobs are very less and the core departments must change the curriculum and frame some course, based on coding in c++ or python (like starting from solving simple problems of our core subjects like fluid mechanics, thermo etc)so that we people may have the exposure to the current skill and flexibility to go to software sector, depending upon the demand. I totally agree that every branch has its own importance, but seeing the difference in placements between software and core jobs, sometimes people get nervous and annoyed. But I reiterate, knowledge never gets wasted, placements and pay is just a matter of time, one will get if they are having the dedication.. Regards Wasif NIT Calicut

Good suggestion. Actually, I have already started doing this in some of my courses.

This video relates a lot to my own discipline, that is, English Literature. Similarly, in literature the opportunities are limited. I am thinking of getting a PhD but at the same time I am scared that whether I will be able to secure an academic position within a good university after putting so much time and energy on a PhD in literature. For subjects like literature within humanities, the number of positions within academia have really gone down in the past few years and the preference is usually for contract workers. Another option for me then would be to take a Masters and PhD in Communication as the scope of this field has risen dramatically in the past few years. But even though a degree in Communication will put me in a safe spot financially, it is literature that I really enjoy.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts here. I hope other students especially from STEM will get a broader feel of the effect of market pull. I really do not have the expertise or even a bit of experience to advise you here but I do hope that you can decide wisely and work subsequently with a wholesome fulfillment. I guess even with a Communications job, you can end up in a place where your knack for literature may not be completely wasted. Although it may not be the kind of literature that is in the domain of high arts, but your work can be indeed end up being really effective and immediately helpful to a lot of people.
