CURAJ is a other institute, founded in 2009. This page brings together what is on record for this course at CURAJ — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Voc programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations, the middle years go deep into the subject, and the final year is given over to electives, a major project and usually an internship.

Here that means mechanics, electronics and programming together: robotics, control systems and automated manufacturing. Typical first jobs: robotics, automation or design engineer. Many graduates also go on to a master's degree.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask CURAJ for the current semester-wise plan.

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with CURAJ before you pay anything.
