SRM University (Vadapalani Campus) B.Tech Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2025, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Bachelor of Technology (B. Tech) with specialization in Mechanical Engineering is a four year undergraduate course and is one of the most sought after degree courses in engineering stream. The eligibility to take admission in this course is 10+2 pass or equivalent.

Mechanical Engineering is the oldest branch of engineering. It was emerged as field of study in 18^th century when industrial revolution took place in Europe. In India engineering was started with the establishment of IIT Roorkee, which was established in 1860s as Thomson College of Engineering. Now there are about 4300 engineering colleges in India including Institutes of National Importance i.e. IITs, NITs private colleges and universities like BITS Pilani, VIT etc.  

Why choose Mechanical Engineering?

First thing any engineering aspirant considers while choosing a branch is placement, Which branch is in demand nowadays? Which engineering graduates are the highest paid in current scenario? These are some questions that arise when admissions in engineering colleges start. Apart from this palcement criteria there are some other parameters which should be considered while choosing a discipline like- what are the research opportunities, what is scope of career growth etc.

Mechanical Engineering is the evergreen branch of engineering. Market scenario and demand of engineering graduates change every year but the demand of mechanical engineering will never be obsolete. Mechanical engineering graduates can find placements in almost every sector, right from construction sector to steel industry and from automobile to software.

BE/B.Tech Mechanical Engineering Key Facts

Following are some highlights of general Mechanical Engineering course in India- 

Course Objective

Our daily life is surrounded by different kind of machines. Study of these machines comes under mechanical engineering. It is the branch of engineering that involves production, designing and operations of machines. The course objective of mechanical engineering is to prepare students for applying the principles of mechanical engineering for designing, manufacturing and maintenance of mechanical systems.

• Automobile Engineering

1. Passed in Higher secondary examination (10+2 pattern ) or appearing in Higher Secondary examination in the current academic year with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as major subjects in regular stream from any state board within India, CBSE, ISCE, Matriculation, or NIOS.
2. International Baccalaureate (IB) A-level with Physics,  chemistry and Mathematics as major subjects in any International schools within India.

1.Candidates will be invited for counseling session based on the score obtained in SRMJEEE (UG)

2.One or more counseling sessions will be held depending on the vacancy of seats.

3.Candidates can choose their preferred specialization / branch of study in a particular campus based on
(a) the cut-off score for the specified specialization / branch
(b) fulfilling the programme-specific eligibility criteria for a particular campus and
(c) subject to the availability of seats at that point of time.

4.If a candidate falls short of the cut-off score for a preferred specialization / branch for a particular campus, the candidate can choose to retake the SRMJEEE (UG) to improve the individual score, subject to a maximum of TWO retakes. In that case the best score out of the three scores (first attempt + 2 retakes) will be considered while choosing/allocating the preferred specialization / branch, subject to the conditions laid out in (3) above.

5.Upon selection of specialization / branch full tuition fees and other applicable fees have to be paid at the time of counseling

6.Provisional Allotment Letter (PAL) will be issued to confirm the candidate’s admission.
