One of the greatest and effectively working department of IIT Bombay, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has been a good example for other building establishments. With educators demonstrating distinct fascination in research subjects like Robotics, Cryogenics, Nuclear Engineering, Design, Fluid mechanics, Thermal building, Mechatronics, Manufacturing science, the office has been a decent donor in the R&D part.

Programs Offered

The office offers degrees at all levels including a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech) in Mechanical Engineering, a Masters of Technology (M.Tech) and PhD program. The office additionally offers double degree program (B.Tech + M.Tech) with specialization in Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM).

Admission to M.Tech. + Ph.D. (Double Degree) Program with Teaching Assistantship (TA)

A portion of the controls offer admissions to the M.Tech. ~ez_plus~ Ph.D. (Double degree) program. The program is intended to draft brilliant understudies who have finished their B.E./B. Tech./M.Sc. degrees specifically to the doctoral program. Key elements of this program are:

The courses of events and key points of reference of this program are adjusted to the M. Tech and Ph.D. programs right now advertised.

The understudy will be required to finish obligatory coursework in the initial three semesters (like that of M. Tech program).

Successful consummation of yearly advance workshop/qualifier examination after first year may qualifies the understudy for Assistantship as permissible for a Ph.D. understudy with Master~ezentity_#39~s capability after the date of effective examination of Research Proposal, for a most extreme of FIVE years from the beginning of the M.Tech. degree.

On effective fulfillment and examination of the Doctoral Thesis, BOTH the degrees (M.Tech. furthermore, Ph.D.) are granted to the hopeful.

Under remarkable condition when an understudy can~ezentity_#39~t finish the requirments of the Ph.D. program, a leave alternative with the M.Tech. degree is accessible subject to consummation of required coursework and M.Tech. paper.

The intrigued competitors ought to apply by topping off the M.Tech. confirmation frame and demonstrating their enthusiasm to be considered for this program at the proper area in the form.
