M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences is a other institute, founded in 2013. This page brings together what is on record for this course at M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences — 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 vehicle design, engines, transmission systems and vehicle dynamics. Typical first jobs: automotive design or production 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 M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences 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.

Colleges revise fees most years, and hostel, transport and exam charges are often billed separately. Confirm the current figure with M.S. Ramaiah University of Applied Sciences before you pay anything.
