Overview

M.Tech. Mechanical Engineering or Master of Technology in Mechanical Engineering is a postgraduate Mechanical Engineering course. It is a two years specialization program that deals with the study of materials science, mechanics, statics, kinematics, thermodynamics and structural analysis used in designing, development, construction, production, installation, operation and maintenance of tools, machines and various other mechanical equipment such as  grinders, large steam and gas turbines, trucks, airplanes, automobiles, lathes, milling machines, trains, space vehicles, components of thermal power stations, internal combustion engines, jet engines, air conditioning and heating machines, refrigerators etc. To put it plainly, this degree course mainly focuses on the study of the utilization of the standards of mechanics and vitality to the plan of machines and gadgets. The M.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) programs in India are normally organized as an Engineering Research degree and being offered on large scale by most of the engineering institutes. M.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) course is is broad in nature covering all major areas of design, thermal and production engineering. Numerous elective subjects are made accessible to understudies with a specific end goal to empower them to spend significant time in any of the three noteworthy fields viz. design, thermal and production engineering.

Courses & Eligibility

The eligibilities for pursuing M.Tech. Mechanical Engineering are as follows: 

• Student should have as a minimum 55% in aggregate in B.Tech. or equivalent in appropriate branch, whilst IITs like IIT Kharagpur, IIT Bombay, IIT Jodhpur ask for 60% in aggregate and a valid GATE score.
• If someone has completed his/her B.Tech. diploma from an IIT with CGPA of 8.0 or above, he/she will be able to get direct admission in M.Tech. and will no longer need a GATE score. Eligibility criteria is same for part-time M.Tech. course.
• M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering from an IIT will cost about Rs. 40,000 to Rs. 1 Lakh.

Course Curriculum

M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering program duration is 2 years which are divided in 4 equal semesters of 6 months period for each semester. Topics covered under each semester are as follows:

Career Prospect

There are no. of jobs for M.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering postgraduates in government area and teaching quarter as well. however the packages aren't so high in government. area for freshers but there's a huge scope of promotions.

Job Positions that a Postgraduate student can get are given below:

• Mechanical Engineering Technician
• Associate Prof./Asst. Prof./Professor
• Mechanical Production Engineer
• Project Manager
• Mechanical Engineer
• Technical Writer (Machines)
• Manufacturing Manager
• Mechanical Engineer

Pay & Remuneration

Starting salary (depends on different factors) is generally Up to 12 Lacs per annum., in case of Graduates. Paying amount depends on your overall performance and any additional talents you obtain. 

A mechanical engineer with 4 to 7 years experience will get more than a fresher get. The more experience you have the more pay you will get.

Famous Personalities

There are many Persons who have made a mark in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Some of the Famous Personalities are:

• William George Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong (1810–1900) – hydraulic power pioneer, founder of Armstrong Whitworth.
• Karl Benz (1844–1929) – generally regarded as the inventor of the gasoline-powered automobile, founder of Mercedes-Benz.
• Willis Carrier (1876–1950) – pioneered the design and manufacture of modern air conditioning systems.
• Robbie Dickson - worked on optimizing the braking system of supercars.
