B. Tech.

The Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering is a 4 year program comprising of 8 semesters.

The undergraduate degree programs in Mechanical Engineering have a strong flavor on design and hands-on experience. The programs include a deeper study of a number of engineering sciences to which students are introduced at the core curriculum level, theoretical and experimental solution of physical problems, and design of systems relevant to the contemporary industries. The areas introduced by the department include Energy Conversion and Power Systems, Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids, Manufacturing Science, Industrial Engineering, Automatic Controls and Engineering Design and Optimization. Besides the theoretical and laboratory based curriculum, students complete an advanced design project in the final year of the program.

Minimum credit requirement for graduation

  • Institute Core (IC): 124 Credits

  • Department Compulsory (DC): 101Credits

  • UGP‐2 and UGP‐3: 15 Credits

  • Department Elective (DE): 27 Credits

  • Open Elective (OE): 54 Credits

  • ESO/ SO: 55 Credits

  • HSS (Level‐I): 22 Credits

  • HSS (Level‐II): 27 Credits

Remarks:

1) UGP‐2 (ME451A) and UGP‐3 (ME452A) are departmental compulosry courses for B. Tech. students. However, these are optional for BT‐MT students who apply for conversion to BT‐MT program before the end of the sixth semester. Such students may do any two DE PG courses as substitute for UGP‐2 and UGP‐3. If a student opts to take ME451A or ME452A after applying for the dual degree programme before the end of the 6th semester, these courses WILL NOT count towards his/her DE‐PG requirement .

2) Students registering for ME451A (UGP‐2) must form BTP groups and inform Convener, DUGC, by April 30th of 6th Semester.

3) ME students applying for BT‐MT in ME after the formation of BTP groups will have to take UGP‐2 and UGP‐3. Neither of these courses may be dropped. Out of UGP‐2 and UGP‐3, only UGP‐3 may be counted towards DE‐PG credits for these students.

4) UGP‐1 & UGP‐4 are optional and do not count towards graduation requirements.

5)15 credits of UGP‐2&3 and 18 OE credits may be waived from the minimum BT requirements for students opting for dual degree in ME itself.

6) Upto 36 OE credits may be waived from the minimum requirements for students opting for Dual Degree in any other department or the Double Major programme.
 

B. Tech. – M. Tech. Dual Degree

The Bachelor of Technology – Master of Technology (B. Tech. -M. Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering is a five-year program comprising of ten semesters. Both the degrees and B. Tech. for those students who do not meet the academic requirements for the award of M. Tech. degree, are awarded at the end of five years or whenever the requirements have been completed thereafter.

Students of the B. Tech.- M. Tech. (Dual degree) program spend their first seven semesters doing undergraduate courses together with the students of the B. Tech. program, while the last three semesters are spent doing postgraduate courses together with the students of the M .Tech. program. At the end of five years, they graduate, receiving both B. Tech. and M. Tech. degrees together. There is no option of early exit with a B. Tech. degree only. Students in this program who have good academic performance are given a scholarship in the final year, which is on par with that given to students of M. Tech. program.

The B. Tech. – M. Tech. dual degree program has been designed to make it attractive for a good student to do an M. Tech., and thus contribute to the research efforts of the department. The student benefits by getting an M. Tech. degree with just one year of extra effort, thereby saving at least six to twelve months.

The current B. Tech. students, both from Mechanical Engineering and outside Mechanical Engineering, are allowed to change to dual degree M. Tech. program in Mechanical Engineering.

Remarks:

1) UGP‐2 and UGP‐3 are compulsory for UG ME students, but not for BT‐MT ME students. BT‐MT ME students have to take 18 credits of DE PG instead o students applying for BT‐MT in ME after the start of 7th semester will have to take UGP‐2 and UGP‐3. Neither of these courses may be dropped. Out o towards DE‐PG credits. In that case, students will have to make up the remaining 12 credits of DE PG with additional PG level ME courses.2) All courses to be taken with the permission of Supervisor/ DUGC Convener.

3) AE675A may count as DE PG in lieu of ME623A. Similar equivalences can be established by the DUGC after deliberating the course content on a case to case basis.

4) Course credits and Thesis credits mentioned under the dual degree template are only for the M.Tech. part of the programme. In addition to the complete all their graduation requirements for their UG programme.

5) Upto 18 OE credits may be used from the BT minimum requirements to fulfil requirements for the BT‐MT dual degree programme. These will b towards PG requirements.
