Mechatronics Engineering

Chandigarh University's Mechatronics Engineering programme stands out as one of the premier choices for undergraduate students aspiring to delve into the dynamic field of mechatronics. Notably, the programme is backed by the prestigious ABET accreditation, affirming its adherence to global standards in systems engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications engineering, control engineering, and computer engineering. This recognition underscores the commitment of Chandigarh University to provide students with a multidisciplinary education that aligns with industry demands.

For prospective students seeking admission, the eligibility criteria include completing 10+2 with Physics and Mathematics as compulsory subjects, along with one of the specified subjects such as Chemistry, Biotechnology, Computer Science, Biology, Informatics Practice, or Information Technology, securing at least 50% marks in the aggregate. Understanding the financial aspect, the semester fee for the Mechatronics Engineering course at Chandigarh University is set at 102,000 INR. Additionally, there are other fees, including an examination fee of 2,500 INR and a security fee of 2,000 INR.

Recognizing the importance of easing the financial burden on students, Chandigarh University offers scholarships through the CUCET (Chandigarh University Common Entrance Test) for the academic year 2024. The scholarships, totaling an impressive amount of Rs. 170 Crores, are awarded based on merit. Students scoring between 90.01 and 100 in CUCET are eligible for a full scholarship, covering the entire semester fee. As the CUCET score decreases, the scholarship amount decreases accordingly, providing financial assistance to a broader range of students.
