NMIMS B.Tech Mechatronics FAQs
Ques. What is the difference between B.Tech Mechatronics and B.Tech Mechanical Engineering at NMIMS MPSTME?
Ans. B.Tech Mechatronics is an interdisciplinary programme that combines mechanical engineering, electronics, computer science, and control systems, with a focus on robotics, automation, PLC, and SCADA. B.Tech Mechanical Engineering, on the other hand, focuses primarily on core mechanical engineering subjects like thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and manufacturing. Mechatronics is ideal for students interested in automation, robotics, and smart manufacturing, while Mechanical Engineering is better suited for those interested in traditional mechanical domains.
Ques. What are the career prospects after B.Tech Mechatronics from NMIMS MPSTME?
Ans. Graduates of B.Tech Mechatronics from MPSTME can pursue careers in automation engineering, robotics, industrial automation, PLC/SCADA programming, automotive engineering, and manufacturing. Companies like L&T, Godrej & Boyce, Royal Enfield, Faurecia, and Glatt Systems recruit from this programme. Students can also pursue higher studies in robotics, automation, or mechatronics engineering at universities in India or abroad.
Ques. What is the fee for B.Tech Mechatronics at NMIMS MPSTME, and how does it compare to other branches?
Ans. The annual fee for B.Tech Mechatronics at NMIMS MPSTME Mumbai is Rs. 4,50,000 for the 2025 batch, making the total 4-year fee Rs. 18,00,000. This is the same as EXTC and higher than Civil and Mechanical Engineering (Rs. 3,75,000 per annum). Fees are subject to an annual revision of approximately 10-15%.
Ques. Does NMIMS MPSTME have good lab facilities for Mechatronics students?
Ans. Yes, MPSTME has excellent lab facilities for Mechatronics students. The Bosch Rexroth Centre of Excellence in Industrial Automation Technologies is one of the most exclusive facilities in western India, featuring Hydraulics, Pneumatics, PLC and Sensorics, CNC, Mechatronics, and Robotics labs with industry-standard equipment. The Robotics Lab has 4-axis and 6-axis robots (Yaskawa Motoman), and there is also a 3D Printing Lab with multiple printer types.
Ques. What is the NCET exam pattern for B.Tech admissions at NMIMS MPSTME?
Ans. The NCET (NMIMS Common Entrance Test) for Engineering is a computer-based exam with 120 questions and 120 marks, comprising Physics (30 marks), Chemistry (30 marks), Mathematics (30 marks), Logical Intelligence (20 marks), and Verbal Reasoning (10 marks). There is no negative marking. Candidates can attempt the exam up to 3 times (1 main + 2 retakes), and the highest score is considered for the merit list.
Ques. Is B.Tech Mechatronics from NMIMS MPSTME recognised by industry, and are there good placement opportunities?
Ans. Yes, B.Tech Mechatronics from NMIMS MPSTME is well-recognised by industry, particularly in the automation, robotics, and manufacturing sectors. The programme's focus on PLC, SCADA, robotics, and industrial automation makes graduates highly relevant for Industry 4.0 roles. The MPSTME Mechatronics team's achievement of AIR 13 at Robocon 2023 reflects the strong technical capabilities developed in this programme. The overall B.Tech average package at MPSTME in 2024-25 was Rs. 8.46 LPA.
