M.Tech in Machine Design: What is it About?

Machine design is a composite application of mathematics, kinematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, material science, engineering and also engineering drawing. M.Tech in Machine Design course essentially focuses on areas like Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity, Theory of Plates and Shells, Advanced Vibrations, Finite Element Analysis, Kinematics Design, Tribology and Bearing Design, Fracture Mechanics, Experimental Stress Analysis, etc. enrolled students have the opportunity to work in the areas of design and analysis in association with faculty members on on-going research projects.

Why M.Tech in Machine Design?

M.Tech. in Machine Design is a 2- year course that consists of 4 semesters, with the first two semesters common between most engineering courses, and the last two reserved for candidates to choose their prospective major and minor specializations.

Eligible candidates are required to qualify the relevant entrance examination followed by a round of group discussion for admission to M.Tech. in Machine Design course. Subsequently, qualifying candidates would need to go through additional rounds of personal interview as the final stage in the process of selection. The main entrance exams held in India for admission to the course is GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering).

However, a few colleges also have their own entrance examinations and admission procedures in place for selecting and admitting candidates.

M.Tech. in Machine Design: Internship Options

At the end of every year in summers, students pursuing the course are needed to go for summer internship programs as a basic necessity to be fulfilled for successful completion of the course and reception of degrees. The internship needs to last a minimum of 2 months and needs to be done from a reputed organization in the relevant department. Stipends offered for the internship differ according to the concerned organizations’ policies. A few of them are paid and a few are unpaid.
