Aligarh Muslim University

The Mechanical Engineering at AMU is one of the oldest Engineering Department of Faculty of Engineering and Technology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. It is one of the biggest departments in the University with a student strength of about 700. It offers degrees related to Ph.D., M.Tech. (Thermal Engineering, Industrial & Production Engg., Machine Design, Robotics and Automation), B.Tech. & B.E. (Evening) programs.
The Department is organized in terms of four groups namely Fluid Mechanics, Industrial & Production Engineering, Thermal Engineering and Machine Design group. These groups are involved in teaching and research in the broad areas of Fluid Mechanics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Molecular Fluid Dynamics, Solid Mechanics, Impact Mechanics, Structural Dynamics & Control, Smart composite & Sandwich structures, Structural Reliability, Industrial Tribology, Manufacturing systems, Nano-Materials, Composites & Polymers, Ergonomics, Combustion Engineering, Refrigerating systems, IC Engines, Experimental & Numerical Heat Transfer and Solar Thermal energy systems.
The research group of Fluid Mechanics is actively involved in areas such as Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Experimental Aerodynamics, Turbulence, and Heat Transfer. The efforts of this group have resulted in the development of several flow solvers like generalized DNS solver for incompressible flow with or without heat transfer, flow with large temperature gradients, immersed boundary solver for solving flows generated due to moving or deforming bodies. Recently the group has developed a new numerical scheme for solving compressible flows and a new type of boundary condition for solving external flows.Major research initiatives of the Industrial & Production Engineering Group include the Development of wear-resistant material and casting of composites. Notable contributions of the Ergonomics research division of the department are artificial arms and a hand device for people suffering from Parkinson's disease. The Group has also designed and fabricated a new hand feed system for the drilling machine. Modeling and simulation-based studies in the area of manufacturing systems have yielded interesting results and have helped in the improvement of flexibility-based manufacturing systems. The Production Engineering group has fabricated high strength and wear-resistant Nano Metal Matrix Composites (NMMCs) through foundry route and Nano Polymer Matrix Composites (NPMCs) through low-temperature chemistry route for automobiles and engineering components.

Well, In the first year all the branches study same syllabus in a same building and if one got good CPI in first year then you can get promoted to good branch which you have filled in the form. Now coming to the petrochemical branch, according to me I am concerned no branch is bad if you have passion about it. Go through any branch, you will definitely do good and as far as I am concerned by doing B.Tech from petroleum, you must prefer in gulf countries. You are eligible for every Government exam, mechanical. Now coming to AMU, mostly students prefer branches other than petrochemical nowadays. In first year, the infrastructure of all branches has same labs and workshops which are very good. They are having good instruments and machinery. After first year, petrochemical students have their labs mostly, and few in common labs. If we talk about faculty, I was from mechanical, so some teachers which are in common with petrochemical are fine you will find faculty fine. But some teachers will be good enough they teach in good manner. But if you have passion to get something, sure that they will help you out sure. The placement criteria is many small-scale companies and few large-scale companies including few MNCs which mostly hire EE, CS mechanical students few civil engineering and very few petrochemicals. If you are in luck, I think one of many petroleum companies also come sometimes. But some companies hire common students from every stream like TCs, Wipro, etc. You will get benefit from these companies.

In AMU, what is meant by both the Science stream and Diploma in engineering? How is the Diploma engineering course in AMU? It's quite good! But it depends on a few factors that how better it will be for you!
If you want to work soon then obviously it is a good choice as after pursuing the Diploma you will be able to apply for various government Job and if you are a skillful then you can even get a better package in the private sector too!
Also, this depends on the branch!
But if you are interested to go for higher studies then it will not be a good choice. After Diploma in engineering, you can get admission only to BE or B.Tech! The problem arises if you want to go for further studies in AMU! For B.Tech there is no lateral entry in AMU+ you have to go for AMU B.Tech Entrance test which is +2 (PCM) based test that is usually very problematic for Diploma students! For BE, there are only three branches in AMU (Mechanical, Civil & Electrical)!
Let me tell you one good thing that you can directly get admission (without entrance) in AMU B.Tech if you are the topper in your Diploma!

The Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) offers admission to Class 11th Science students through an entrance exam called the AMU School Admission Test (AMU SAT). Here are the details regarding the AMU SAT exam for Class 11th Science:
Eligibility:. The candidate must have passed Class 10th or an equivalent examination with a minimum aggregate of 50% marks. Exam Pattern:. The AMU SAT exam for Class 11th Science consists of 150 multiple-choice questions (MCQs). The duration of the exam is 3 hours. The questions will be from Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Biology. -&get;The distribution of questions is as follows:
Physics: 45 questions. Chemistry: 45 questions. Mathematics: 45 questions. Biology: 15 questions
Marking Scheme: Each correct answer will be awarded 1 mark. There is a negative marking of 0.25 marks for each wrong answer. No marks will be awarded or deducted for unanswered questions.
Application Process: The application form for AMU SAT can be filled online on the official website of AMU. The application fee is Rs. 700/- and can be paid online through debit/credit card or net banking.
Important Dates: The application process usually starts in the month of February and ends in the month of March. The exam is usually conducted in the month of May. It is advisable to check the official website of AMU for the latest updates on the AMU SAT exam for Class 11th Science.

It is unlikely that there is no option available in the categories section of the Aligarh Muslim University Online application processing system. The categories section of the application is typically used to identify the applicant's social category, such as General, OBC, SC, ST, or other reserved categories. It is mandatory to select a category when filling out the application form, and the options provided in this section are usually based on the government's guidelines for reservation policies.
If you are unable to find a suitable option in the categories section of the application form, you should contact the university's admission department for guidance. They can assist you in selecting the appropriate category and provide you with any necessary support or clarification. It's essential to provide accurate information in your application, so make sure to clarify any doubts or questions you may have before submitting your application.
