First of all let me assure all that production engineering is not lower compared to mechanical engineering. Every student is scared to opt production engineering because they haven't heard of production engineers. This is because in the beginning there was only mechanical engineering and the importance of production and industrial engineering came in the later stage. Hence only few colleges teach production engineering and its importance is growing every year. Many companies including companies abroad specify their requirement for production engineers and its scope is huge.
I have stated in my previous posts that production engineering is similar to mechanical engineering and I have mentioned about mechanical equivalent certificate for production engineers. In the comments of my previous posts I saw that students have doubt whether all colleges teaching production engineering provide the equivalency certificate. Well according to my view point all universities should provide a mechanical equivalency certificate and if I am wrong may be it depends on the university (whether autonomous or not) and their syllabus. In different universities the syllabus for production engineering differs. In certain university the syllabus might be 90% similar to mechanical engineering while in certain university the degree of similarity might be 60% and the universities provide equivalency certificate according to the degree of similarity. For example I did production engineering from Calicut university and I got mechanical equivalent certificate. Calicut university provides mechanical equivalent certificate because its syllabus is more than 85% similar (just 4 subjects and 2 labs different) to mechanical engineering.
Now the truth is that I have never used my mechanical equivalent certificate for any interviews because in the registration form or online form there was always slot for production engineers whether the company was IT or manufacturing based. But it comes to use while applying for mechanical jobs through Public Service Commission (PSC), UPSC, Railways etc.
(If anyone knows any university which doesn't provide a mechanical equivalent certificate for production engineers please leave a comment).
Important- Always inquire your respective universities rather than your college about equivalent certificate. Your college might or might not know about equivalent certificate because after course you have to go to your university (not your college) and apply for the same.
