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 MIT Chennai 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 MIT Chennai as a group.

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

To be considered for B.E in Automobile Engineering (Part Time), 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.
