Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering is a course which trains candidates on how to use tools and heavy machinery. It introduces learners to the designing and manufacturing of heavy machinery and other appliances such as vehicles, motors, aircrafts etc.

Mechatronics engineering on the other hand, is an interdisciplinary study of electronics engineering and mechanical engineering. It prepares learners on the application of mechanical and electronic engineering in designing and manufacturing communications systems, robots and computer-integrated machinery. 

Here are some of the courses one can explore after completing Mechanical Engineering degree in order to gain expertise in various research areas and enhance one's skillset.

• Nanotechnology
• Automation and Mechatronics
• Operations Management
• Protective Coating and Adhesives
• Supply Chain Management
• Tool Designing, Welding and Joining
• Industrial Safety Engineering
• Additives Manufacturing
• Aeronautical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering course duration in India for UG courses is usually 4 years. The course is segregated into 8 semesters, where each semester is for 6 months duration. The course covers a wide range of topics, including Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Strength of Materials, Machine Design, Manufacturing, and Automation.

For PG courses, the duration is 2 years. You can also go for a diploma in Mechanical Engg. after Class 10 that is 3 years long. Further, a PhD in Mechanical Engg. can be studied for research purposes, which is 3 to 6 years long.

If you want to get admission to the BTech Mechanical Engineering course at top colleges, you should get at least 50 to 60% marks in the PCM subjects in Class 12 and clear relevant entrance exams. Some institutes like the IITs and NITs may ask for 75% marks in the Class 12 board exams.

Mechanical Engineering Admission

For mechanical engineers looking to combine their technical background with Business and Management skills, there are several MBA specializations available that align well with Mechanical Engineering degree:

• MBA in Engineering Management
• MBA in Operations Management
• MBA in Technology Management
• MBA in Product Management
• MBA in Manufacturing Management
• MBA in Industrial Management

The Ganga Institute of Technology and Management (GITM) offers 120 seats for the B.Tech. programme in Mechanical Engineering.

It is not easy to get into GITAM as the institute is one of the top institutes in Haryana. The institute provides all the facilities and courses, within the affordable range. This increases the competition. 

However, the ease of admission depends upon the number of seats available in college and the number of applicants, which changes every year. Generally, cut-offs are high in GITAM. 

So, to get into college you need to score higher.
