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 structural analysis, surveying, geotechnical and transportation engineering, and construction management. Typical first jobs: site, structural or planning engineer, or a government engineering service.

The exact syllabus is set by the college or its affiliating university and changes from year to year, so ask Marwadi 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 Marwadi University as a group.

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