IIT Delhi Ph.D Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

The Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is essential for entry into MS and MTech programs in India, including IIT Delhi. Admission relies on GATE scores, with cutoffs varying annually and by category. For PhD programs, candidates need a minimum CGPA of 8 from their MTech, plus an interview. Master's students receive a monthly stipend of 12,400 INR, while PhD scholars get 31,000 INR. To retain the master's stipend, maintaining a CGPA of 7 is necessary.

Hostel fees are 10,500 INR per semester, and mess charges range from 4,000 to 5,000 INR monthly, which must be paid separately as they're not covered by stipends. IIT Delhi is highly preferred by employers, with over 500 companies visiting annually for training and placements. BTech students can participate in placements in their fourth year, and Masters students in their second year. Minimum salary packages start from 5-6 LPA, with the highest offers for core branches between 18-20 LPA.

Non-core branches can receive much higher offers, from 80 LPA to over 1 crore. Additionally, students have opportunities for further studies abroad.
