B. Tech. – M. Tech. Dual Degree

The Bachelor of Technology – Master of Technology (B. Tech. -M. Tech.) in Mechanical Engineering is a five-year program comprising of ten semesters. Both the degrees and B. Tech. for those students who do not meet the academic requirements for the award of M. Tech. degree, are awarded at the end of five years or whenever the requirements have been completed thereafter.

Students of the B. Tech.- M. Tech. (Dual degree) program spend their first seven semesters doing undergraduate courses together with the students of the B. Tech. program, while the last three semesters are spent doing postgraduate courses together with the students of the M .Tech. program. At the end of five years, they graduate, receiving both B. Tech. and M. Tech. degrees together. There is no option of early exit with a B. Tech. degree only. Students in this program who have good academic performance are given a scholarship in the final year, which is on par with that given to students of M. Tech. program.

The B. Tech. – M. Tech. dual degree program has been designed to make it attractive for a good student to do an M. Tech., and thus contribute to the research efforts of the department. The student benefits by getting an M. Tech. degree with just one year of extra effort, thereby saving at least six to twelve months.

The current B. Tech. students, both from Mechanical Engineering and outside Mechanical Engineering, are allowed to change to dual degree M. Tech. program in Mechanical Engineering.

Remarks:

1) UGP‐2 and UGP‐3 are compulsory for UG ME students, but not for BT‐MT ME students. BT‐MT ME students have to take 18 credits of DE PG instead o students applying for BT‐MT in ME after the start of 7th semester will have to take UGP‐2 and UGP‐3. Neither of these courses may be dropped. Out o towards DE‐PG credits. In that case, students will have to make up the remaining 12 credits of DE PG with additional PG level ME courses.2) All courses to be taken with the permission of Supervisor/ DUGC Convener.

3) AE675A may count as DE PG in lieu of ME623A. Similar equivalences can be established by the DUGC after deliberating the course content on a case to case basis.

4) Course credits and Thesis credits mentioned under the dual degree template are only for the M.Tech. part of the programme. In addition to the complete all their graduation requirements for their UG programme.

5) Upto 18 OE credits may be used from the BT minimum requirements to fulfil requirements for the BT‐MT dual degree programme. These will b towards PG requirements.
