Discontinued (July 2023) Integrated B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with M.Tech. in Mechanical Systems Design at IIT Indore

Discontinued (July 2023) Integrated B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with M.Tech. in Mechanical Systems Design at IIT Indore in Indore, Madhya Pradesh is a 5-year postgraduate programme. The total fee on record is ₹11.37 lakh, which works out to about ₹2.27 lakh a year.

The course is about thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes and CAD.

IIT Indore is a public/government institute, founded in 2009. This page brings together what is on record for this course at IIT Indore — 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, 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.

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

This is what the course costs, as recorded. Fees are for the whole course unless marked otherwise, and apply to B.Tech programmes at IIT Indore as a group.

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

For admission to Discontinued (July 2023) Integrated B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering with M.Tech. in Mechanical Systems Design, 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 IIT Indore are: X: 0.0, XII: 75.0, 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 IIT Indore's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

The admission process usually runs like this:

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 IIT Indore on its website (www.iiti.ac.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.

Going by the latest placement record (2023) show a placement rate of 95.31%, an average package of ₹32.6 lakh and a highest package of ₹68 lakh at IIT Indore. These are college-wide figures, not only for this specialisation.
