Our undergraduate courses offer a unique blend of rigour, creativity and practicality. The underlying science is taught by experts at the leading edge of international research.
The students are admitted through JEE. For a general introduction to our 4-year undergraduate programs, please look through our online prospectus and the student handbook for current undergraduates available at: https://mitr.iitm.ac.in/main/index.php/downloads.
The Ordinances and Regulations for the B.Tech & B.Tech (Honours) program may be obtained from the following link: B.Tech & B.Tech (Honours) Ordinances and Regulations
Undergraduate study: The course list is given for all four years for the batch joined in 2014 can be found at the following link: Curriculum
Undergraduate projects: In order to develop an appreciation of research and the environment within which it takes place, the final year undergraduate students are encouraged to undertake either 6 months or 1 year BTech Project (BTP) under guidance of faculty. They can also opt for 3 months mini-BTP.
Industrial training: Mechanical Engineers require two months of monitored industrial training, in addition to their four years of academic study, before they can become Professional Engineers. The Industrial Training is organized during summer vacation at the end 3rd and 5th semester. We provide a sponsorship list of companies who offer industrial training.
