Admission to Mahamaya College of Agricultural Engineering and Technology is based on the UPCATET exam, with no group discussions or interviews required. Students are placed in colleges based on their exam ranks. The college offers courses in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Agricultural Engineering. The faculty, especially in the Farm Machinery and Power Engineering departments, is experienced, although some internal politics exist. The fee structure includes a tuition fee of 25,000 INR per year, with an additional 5,000 INR per semester for hostel accommodation, and approximately 1,300 INR monthly for mess expenses.
Students may qualify for a 100% scholarship if neither parent is in government service, and government scholarships are available online. The placement program offers opportunities in research, marketing, and sales, with salary packages ranging from 300,000 to 1,500,000 INR based on interview performance. About 70% of students secure placements annually with companies like Jain Irrigation, Rate, banks, and government jobs participating in the process. The college also offers four internships starting after the first year, with recent ones being online due to the pandemic, except for an offline internship at the Indian Institute of Sugar Cane Research.
Scholarships are available for SC and ST students and those from economically poor backgrounds.
