Mechanical Engineering

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.

To get direct second-year admission in B.Tech after completing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, you can apply to universities or colleges that offer lateral entry admission. Many colleges and universities in India offer lateral entry admission to Diploma holders who want to pursue a Bachelor of Technology degree. The eligibility criteria and admission process may vary from institution to institution, so it's important to research the admission requirements and application process of the specific colleges and universities you are interested in. You may also need to appear for entrance exams conducted by some institutions to qualify for admission. Some institutions may have certain minimum marks or percentage requirements that you need to meet to be eligible for admission. Overall, you have good options available to pursue B.Tech after completing a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering. You can check the websites of various institutions to get a better understanding of their admission criteria and process, and make an informed decision accordingly.

Yes, you can appear for the CUET-PG (Central University Common Entrance Test - Postgraduate) after completing your engineering degree. CUET-PG is a common entrance test conducted by central universities for admission to various postgraduate courses. The eligibility criteria for CUET-PG may vary depending on the course you are applying for, but in general, a Bachelor's degree in the relevant field from a recognised university is required. Since you have a BE Mechanical degree, you may be eligible to apply for postgraduate courses in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Engineering, etc. Offered by the central universities that accept CUET-PG scores. However, it's always advisable to check the eligibility criteria of the specific course you're interested in before applying for CUET-PG.
