Moving Away from Home: Your College Packing Guide

 

You are like to leave your home to begin your first semester as student at the best college or university of India. Preparing as a student and to leave for your dream college is not an easy task. But this is an exciting chapter of your life; you will experience new things and be on your own for, possibly, first time. There are many wonderful adventures awaiting you, challenging courses to be taken, new friends to be made and so on... But first…what should you pack in your bags?

Preparing a student to leave for a university or college is no easy task, and your to-do list can get intimidatingly long. It may seen like a daunting task. Don't worry we are here to help you. These are some of the essentials to consider when packing for college.

Finances and Documents

These are the first and most important thing that you’ll need to take with you. Check many times that you have your 10^th, 12^th and other educational documents with you before leaving ! Make sure you have the contact number of your dream college and just in case, make photocopies of all important documents and keep them separate from the originals.

Electronic Gadgets

Laptop, tablet, music player, and mobile phone - these are the basic electronics that you should bring with them to college to help you stay in touch with family. Always pack your electronics in hand bag.

Medicines

Contact to your college and find out whether medicines and vitamins are easily available or not. Take a supply of some basic medicines with you but make sure you have doctor's prescription for what you pack.

Clothes

Pack mostly formal clothing as in India most of the colleges or universities allows formal wear for freshers. If you are a student of any engineering, law, medical or management students, it is necessary for you to wear formal as a fresher student. Don't forget to include some traditional outfitting. It’s a great opportunity to share your traditions and culture with new friends in your home away from home!

ATM Card / VISA Checkcard

ATM machines are everywhere and they're the best way to get currency. The best thing about ATM cards are they can operate in any bank ATM. It is good thing rather than cash. Managing the cash is more challenging if you are going for stay in hostel.

Pack light and ready to go

If you follow only one of our suggestions, let this be it. We've seen far too many travelers stumbling under the excess baggage weight. Items that you're considering don't have multiple purposes or "just in case", should be left at home. We can't say this one enough, so we'll repeat ourselves: Pack light.

So happy packing and CollegeScan wishes you good luck in this next journey of your life!

Mechanical Engineering-What Are The Career Options And Opportunities?

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest branches of engineering and is also referred to as the ‘mother’ branch. Technically, it is the application of the problem-solving methodologies of engineering from design to manufacturing to the marketplace for any object.

Traditionally, it is a combination of concepts such as mechanics, robotics, kinematics, thermodynamics, structural analysis, fluid mechanics and many others. Furthermore, mechanical engineers apply these concepts in the process of designing state-of-the-art manufacturing units, aircraft and aerospace parts, various types of motor vehicles, and a vast assortment of industrial machinery.

Additionally, mechanical engineers also contribute in the development of different engines, heating and cooling systems, power plant equipment, and other simple and complex machinery.

However, time has changed. Nowadays the opportunities of mechanical engineers are expanding beyond the traditional boundaries. Now, mechanical engineers are focusing their attention towards new areas of research such as development of composite materials, nano-technology, biomedical applications, environmental conservation and many more.

Educational Requirements:

The basic and most important to become a Mechanical Engineer is 10+2 with PCM (Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics). To be eligible for a graduate engineering programme in a college/ university, you should have scored at least 50% marks and 60% for being eligible for Indian Institute of Technology with PCM as main subject.

There are various entrance examinations such as:

The Joint Entrance Examination for IITs (IITJEE) for admission to diverse IITs

All-India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE) for admission to various National Institutes of Technology or regional engineering colleges

Other State level exams

Apart from these, there are thousands of engineering colleges in India where you can get into a graduate programme in mechanical engineering. Some of the colleges conduct their own entrance exams whereas some accept IIT, UPSEE or AIEEE scores. You can also opt for diploma in mechanical engineering. For this, you should have 50% marks in class 10^th.

Job Options in Mechanical Engineering

Jobs directly related to Mechanical Engineering degree:

Aerospace engineer

Automotive engineer

Contracting civil engineer

Control and instrumentation engineer

Maintenance engineer
