Tezpur University, School of Engineering Tezpur Sonitpur 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. 

Sub disciplines of Mechanical Engineering

Following are the sub disciplines that are associated with mechanical engineering-

• Production Engineering
• Industrial Engineering
• Manufacturing Engineering
• Automobile Engineering

Candidates seeking admission to the B. Tech. Programmes are required to appear in the JEE (Main) to be conducted by CBSE, New Delhi. All Admission shall be based on JEE (Main) all India Ranking.

Candidate must have 10+2 pass with at least 50% marks (45% for SC/ ST) in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics and pass marks in English and qualifying in AIEEE.

60% of available B. Tech. seats are reserved for the permanent residents of NE States. Candidates who fill-up Tezpur University application form shall be considered for the reserved seats. The applicants desiring a seat under NE quota must upload a PRC (Permanent Residence Certificate issued by the competent authority of any of the North Eastern states) along with the form. However, these applicants may also be eligible to get admitted to the open seats through central counselling procedure.

Admission to the remaining 40% open seats shall be made through the central counselling i.e. Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) based on JEE (Main)

Also direct admission facility is available to State Rank Holders of (10+2) Science Examinations of NE States and securing above 80% in aggregate. 

The prospectus and form for applying for B. Tech. Programme is normally available from the Month of February to April every year and either can be downloaded from the University website or can be directly obtained from deignated stations as notified in the University website.
