Note: The above-mentioned fee is as per the official sources. However, it is indicative and subject to change.

To know which was the toughest specialisation to get into, one requires to know the cutoff details. As per the IITDM MTech cutoff 2024, MTech in Robotics and Automation stood as the most competitive exam. The last round GATE score for this course stood at 359. It was also observed that MTech in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science and MTech in Drones and IoT stood as the least competitive branches of all with a closing score of 372.

The total tuition fees of BTech ranges from INR 2.6 lakh-INR 3.7 lakh. Candidates are required to pay the course fee after completion of all the selection rounds to confirm their seats. In case, a candidate is unable to pay the fee within the specified time, his or her admission will stand cancelled. Candidates will also require to pay a registration fee to apply for admission. This information is sourced from official website/ sanctioning body and is subject to change.

Students who are offered MTech admission to IIITDM Kurnool must submit the following documents along with fees at the time of admission, as mentioned below:

Class 10 marksheet

Class 12 marksheet

Date of Birth Certificate

UG transcripts/marksheets

Caste certificate for SC/ST/OBC students

Candidates after pursuing Soil and Water Conservation Engineering can enter the agricultural domain and work in the following job profiles such as:

• Purchase Manager
• Process Manager
• Analyst
• Agriculture Officer
• Agricultural Advisor

Some of the subjects taught under Soil and Water Conservation Engineering include:

• Engineering Thermodynamics
• Principles of Soil Science
• Farm Implements
• Surveying and Levelling
• Post-harvest and Storage Engineering

For pursuing UG courses in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering, candidates must have passed Class 12th from a recognised board with 50 to 60% marks and cleared state or national-level entrance exams to secure admission to top colleges. For PG courses, candidates must have completed B.E/B.Tech in a related field from a recognised university with at least 55 to 60% marks and cleared entrance exams. 

Soil with good structure is more stable. Clay textures are often more stable than sand textures because they have better structure, however, a mix of particle sizes (and pore sizes) is best for engineering (just as it is best for growing crops). Therefore, before understanding the causes of reduced agricultural productivity, conservation specialists study the quality of soil which helps us to understand the water-holding capacity. 

Students should take degrees in related subjects such as Geography or Environmental Sciences. Candidates who aspire to become conservation engineers can study undergraduate programs in Soil and Water Conservation or Hydrology or also specialise at the master's level by pursuing MTech in Soil and Water Conservation Engineering. SWCE is mostly available at the PG level as a specialization within Agricultural Engineering.
