What is Automobile engineering?

This is a newly introduced course in about 5+ colleges in AP. Should appreciate JNTU and the colleges that took the course considering the current market spur on this sector. Automobile engineering is a mechanical look alike course that deals with cars, bikes, and truck. You must be passionate to do this course. You will study many common subjects of Mechanical engineering and hence the college can club you with this department.   This is definitely going to be an amazing course and very focused course. Car manufacturing companies are evolving in India and its time we give them more specialized engineers from automobile engineering department than from a multi-skilled mechanical engineering department. You will study fluid dynamics, thermo dynamics and many other physics subjects in depth during this course. Your project work might be very interesting too.

Complexity: Upper medium difficult

Choosing a college:

Choose a college with high infrastructure to run this course. All the 5 colleges that are offering this course in JNTU seem to be good with VNR topping them all.

Higher education: Highly recommended. However, you might have to think of going abroad for higher education rather than in India. Generally, Mechanical engg students take automobile engineering as specialization during masters, as you are already done with this course in bachelors, its good to go abroad for a higher degree. Germany is one great option considering education is free as of today.

Job Opportunities: Excellent jobs in India. The automobile market in India is soaring high. Benz, Volkswagen and many others have started their plants in India. Expecting 100% placements in the first batches of Automobile engineering.
