DTU is a public/government institute, founded in 1941. This page brings together what is on record for this course at DTU — fees, seats, eligibility, the admission route and placements — so you can judge it before you apply.

Most M.Tech 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 measurement and control: sensors, transducers, process control and industrial automation. Typical first jobs: instrumentation or automation engineer in process industries.

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

The fee figures on record for this course are below. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to M.Tech programmes at DTU as a group.

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