The verdict
Good fit
If you want an affordable, brand-name NIT degree with a manufacturing and ops focus, this hits the mark. The 2025 average of ₹9.8 LPA from core engineering recruiters is solid, and the total fee is just ₹5 lakhs. That said, Production Engineering is a niche branch—great if you’re into factories, supply chains, and industrial systems, but less flexible than CSE if you’re still exploring.
