MTech, or Master of Technology, is a 2-year postgraduate program that focuses on advanced knowledge and specialization in the field of engineering and technology. The course provides in-depth theoretical understanding and practical skills in areas such as Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and more. It prepares students for research, development, and leadership roles in technology-driven industries.
To secure admission in MTech, candidates must have completed a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Technology (BTech/BE) with a minimum of 50-60% marks. Admission is generally through entrance exams such as GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) or university-specific exams.
MTech subjects depend on the specialization but generally include Advanced Topics in Engineering, Research Methodology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Structures, Network Security, Robotics, Structural Engineering, Power Systems, and many others. The program often includes a thesis or project work to demonstrate research capability.
MTech graduates have a wide range of career opportunities in research and development, design, software development, and project management. Common job roles include Software Engineer, Data Scientist, Research and Development Engineer, Network Engineer, and Systems Architect. The average salary for MTech graduates ranges from INR 6-12 LPA, depending on the industry and specialization.
After completing MTech, students can pursue a PhD (Doctor of Philosophy) in their area of interest for deeper research. They can also opt for managerial roles or entrepreneurial ventures in technology-driven sectors.
To be eligible for MTech, candidates must have completed a Bachelor's degree in Engineering or Technology (BTech/BE) with a minimum of 50-60% marks. Admission is typically based on GATE scores or other university-specific entrance exams.
