At LPU, both Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering are considered challenging, but the level of difficulty largely depends on a student’s interest and strengths. Electrical Engineering is often seen as more mathematically intensive, involving complex concepts like circuits, power systems, control systems, and electronics, which require strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Mechanical Engineering, on the other hand, is more focused on physics, design, thermodynamics, manufacturing, and mechanics, involving a mix of calculations and hands-on work. Many students find Electrical Engineering slightly tougher due to abstract concepts, while Mechanical Engineering feels demanding because of its vast syllabus and practical applications. Ultimately, both are rigorous at LPU, and the difficulty varies based on what a student finds more engaging.

As a mechanical engineering, I will have to say I found electrical much easier than mechanical. I would concede ECE to be much more difficult than mech, but electrical is one of the easiest branches in engineering. With its diversity and plain unpredictability, mechanical was much more tougher than electrical which I found to be extremely grounded. Of course, this is my own personal opinion. If you don't agree with me, I'm afraid you're wrong :)
