M Tech Mechanical Engineering

Masters of Technology in Mechanical Engineering or M.Tech Mechanical Engineering (ME) is a 2-year postgraduate degree programme for those who harbour a dream of scheduling, managing, designing and monitoring all aspects that occur during the manufacturing of goods in every organization. In short, M.Tech Mechanical Engineering is the study and in-depth analysis of mechanics, kinematics and other concepts that are applied to architecture and installation of machinery and tools. In terms of job prospect and professional development, M.Tech mechanical engineering is one of the most sought-after postgraduate engineering courses in the country. 

B.E/B.Tech/Diploma holders in mechanical engineering from a reputed university/institute is the only requirement for admission into the M.Tech mechanical engineering course in addition to a good score in a reputed entrance exam like GATE, SRMJEEE, TANCET etc. However, some reputed M.Tech mechanical engineering institutions offer admission to aspiring candidates based on their previous qualifying degree/diploma score. 

The following section contains all the important information regarding the M.Tech in mechanical engineering course.

Some important facts and details about the M.Tech mechanical engineering course have been given in the table below - 

The detailed eligibility criteria for admission into the M.Tech mechanical engineering course are as follows -
