B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (Automobile) at DIT University

If you are looking at B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (Automobile), DIT University in Dehradun runs it as a 4-year, full-time undergraduate course. The total fee on record is ₹13.65 lakh – ₹20.09 lakh, which works out to about ₹3.41 lakh a year.

At its core, the programme covers thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes and CAD.

DIT University is a private institute, founded in 1998. This page brings together what is on record for this course at DIT University — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most B.Tech programmes follow a similar pattern: the first year builds the foundations (mathematics, science and programming), 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 thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes and CAD. Typical first jobs: mechanical, design, production or maintenance 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 DIT University for the current semester-wise plan.

Here is how the fee on record breaks down. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at DIT University as a group.

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

To be considered for B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering (Automobile), you usually need Class 12 with Physics and Mathematics, plus Chemistry, Computer Science or another technical subject; most colleges ask for roughly 45–60% in these subjects. The minimum marks on record at DIT University are: X: 50.0, XII: 50.0, Graduation: 0.0.

Admission to this kind of course is usually through JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check DIT University's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

Here is the usual route in:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take JEE Main and state engineering entrance exams and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to DIT University on its website (www.dituniversity.edu.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.
