The duration of the M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering course is typically 2 years, divided into 4 semesters. Each semester usually lasts for around 6 months, during which students engage in coursework, practical assignments, laboratory sessions, and project work.
First Year: The first year primarily focuses on core subjects in mechanical engineering, advanced concepts in areas like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, vibrations, materials science, and manufacturing processes. Students are introduced to research methodologies and technical electives.
Second Year: The second year is dedicated to specialization electives, project work, and the dissertation. Students may focus on a particular area within mechanical engineering such as robotics, energy systems, or CAD/CAE. A significant portion of the second year is spent on research and completing the final dissertation/project.
Some universities offer part-time M.Tech programs that may take 3 to 4 years to complete, which allows students to balance work and study.
Additionally, the course duration might vary slightly depending on the institution and whether the student opts for a dual degree program or an integrated M.Tech program.
