It is my pleasure to welcome you all to one of the core engineering disciplines, the Mechanical Engineering. I am sure that you will come up with flying colors at the end of your four years journey in this institute. I have an appeal to you all; do not just stick to the readymade model of ‘classroom learning-examinations-results’. During this four-year journey, bring some changes in yourself by continuously learning new things and the avenues for the same are wide open these days. Undergo additional free courses (MOOC’s) at NPTEL, Coursera, Unacademy, Udemy, LinkedIn, etc., and attend as many industrial internships as possible, equip yourself with new age technologies such as AI, ML, IIoT, Robotics, etc. and involve yourself in various student related competitive events. Be guided and motivated by your mentors in all these endeavors. The Department is always there to help you out. At the end of four years, you need not hunt for a job, instead, jobs will hunt for you.

SAEINDIA (Society of Automotive Engineers, India) https://saeindia.org mainly focuses on mobility professionals at all levels across our nation from Automobile, Aerospace and off Highway sectors. SAEINDIA has built over these years several flagship events catering to both working professionals and engineering students. SAEINDIA is being fully supported by OEMs, Tier1, Tier2 Suppliers and Government Institutions in providing technical content for the events.
Scope & Objectives
This SAE forum gives a platform to students, to exhibit their technical skills, design and fabrication skills, presentation skills, and communication skills in organizing various events for students in the automobile field.
The IIF was set up in 1950 to promote education, research, training and development to Indian foundrymen and to serve as a nodal point of reference between the customers and suppliers of the Indian foundry industry on a global scale. With its Head Quarter in Kolkata, IIF presently services to the entire country through its 26 Chapters under four Regional Offices located at Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai & Chennai. The IIF is a member of the World Foundrymen Organisation (WFO) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). A student of engineering or science from a recognized school, college or institute or a technical trainee in foundry can qualify for student membership for a maximum of three years.
Scope & Objectives
The students of Mechanical engineering have the privilege to:
• Visit Industries and interact with the industrialists.
• Invite experts from industries for guest lectures, technical talks and interaction.
• Undergo internship training , which is a part of the curriculum,
• Conduct workshops and seminars jointly.
• Carryout project work and placement opportunities.
• To support foundry related courses in educational institutions.
• Attend talks & exhibition organized by IIF at reputed places.
The Fluid Power (Oil hydraulics and Pneumatics) Industry has evolved comprehensively over the last century and has generated intensive research, efficient production systems and integrated applications. The fluid power industry has three large segments: mobile hydraulics, industrial hydraulics and pneumatics. Historically, the mobile hydraulic segment has been the largest, accounting for about 50% of total fluid power sales. The industrial hydraulic and pneumatic segments are nearly the same size, each with about 25% of total fluid power sales.
The Fluid Power Society of India (FPSI, https://www.fpsindia.net/about-us) is a not-for-profit professional body committed to promoting Fluid Power knowledge and technology in the country. Various activities such as ‘technical talks, industrial visits for the students, webinars, project contests and exhibitions, conclaves, professional day’, etc. are conducted by FPSI throughout the year. A quarterly magazine ‘Fluid Power’ is also published covering a variety of technical articles on hydraulics and pneumatics.
Scope & Objectives
• To create awareness on developing skills in the area of Fluid Power.
• To recognize Industry – Academia link as a unifying activity.
• To disseminate the tremendous potential that the fluid power industry has, to the young engineers
