M.Tech.
Mechanical Engineering or Master of Technology in Mechanical
Engineering is a postgraduate Mechanical Engineering course. It is a two
years specialisation program that deals with the study of mechanics, statics,
kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis used in
designing, development, construction, production, installation, operation and maintenance
of tools, machines and various other mechanical equipment such as automobiles,
trucks, airplanes, trains, space vehicles, lathes, milling machines, grinders,
large steam and gas turbines, components of thermal power stations, internal
combustion engines, jet engines, air conditioning and heating machines,
refrigerators etc. In short, this degree course mainly focuses on the study of
the application of the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of
machines and devices. The M.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) programs in India
are usually structured as an Engineering Research degree and being offered on
large scale by most of the engineering institutes. M.Tech. (Mechanical
Engineering) course is broad in nature covering all major areas of design,
thermal and production engineering. Many elective subjects are made available
to students in order to enable them to specialize in any of the three major
fields viz. design, thermal and production engineering.
M.Tech.
Mechanical Engineering Eligibility
The basic
eligibility criteria for pursuing an M.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) degree is
qualifying B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent examination.
Alternatively,
a candidate who has passed in the Associate Membership of the Institute of
Engineers (AMIE) examination with appropriate specialisation in Mechanical
Engineering is also considered eligible for admission to M.Tech. (Mechanical
Engineering) degree course.
Generally,
the admission is done through Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE)
Score Merit List.
