Overview
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering - Mechatronics (ME) (Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering - Mechatronics) is a 4-year undergraduate programme in engineering (mechatronics). It covers mechanical systems with electronics, sensors, actuators, microcontrollers and control systems.
Course Details
- Level: Undergraduate (UG)
- Duration: 4 years
B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering - Mechatronics (ME) is listed as a 4-year programme. Confirm the structure with the institute.
Eligibility
10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics from a recognised board (some institutes accept Biology or a vocational subject in place of Chemistry), with the minimum marks set by the institute and a valid entrance score.
Admission
Admission is through JEE Main (NITs, IIITs and other centrally funded institutes via JoSAA), JEE Advanced (IITs), BITSAT, VITEEE, SRMJEEE and other university tests, and state CETs such as MHT CET, KCET, KEAM, WBJEE, TS EAMCET and AP EAPCET. Diploma holders can often enter the second year through lateral entry, with rules varying by state. Check each institute's notice.
Registration & Recognition
Engineers do not need a licence for most roles in India. Chartered Engineer status (Institution of Engineers, India) is optional, and government and PSU engineering posts follow their own recruitment rules (for example the Engineering Services Examination, and PSU recruitment through GATE). Check that the institute and programme have AICTE approval, and look at NBA accreditation of the branch.
What You Will Learn
The programme covers mechanical systems with electronics, sensors, actuators, microcontrollers and control systems.
Where You Can Work
Typical settings include manufacturing, construction, power, IT and technology companies, public-sector undertakings and government departments, consulting and design firms, research and development labs, start-ups, and your own business.
Career Options
Graduates can work as mechatronics or automation engineer, robotics and product-design roles, or manufacturing technologist. Roles, pay and requirements vary by employer, city and experience.
After This Course
You can move on to an M.Tech or M.E. (usually through GATE), an MBA or PGDM, civil services and engineering-services exams, PSU recruitment, higher study abroad, or direct employment and entrepreneurship.
