The Department of Mechanical Engineering, established in 1994, has grown into a vibrant center for academic excellence and research. The department offers Undergraduate (B.Tech.) programs in (1) Mechanical Engineering and (2) Automation & Robotics, Postgraduate (M.Tech.) programs in (1) Engineering Design, (2) Manufacturing & Automation, and (3) Automotive Engineering, along with Doctoral (Ph.D.) programs. The department also offers minor program for other department students in Robotics and Automation.
The B.Tech. program in Mechanical Engineering is accredited by the National Board of Accreditation (NBA) for the maximum duration of six years, reflecting the program’s strong academic standards and quality.
The department is supported by a team of 48 qualified and dedicated faculty members drawn from academia, industry, and professional practice. A significant proportion of the faculty possess over 15 years of experience, contributing to a rich blend of theoretical knowledge and practical expertise in teaching and research.
The department’s infrastructure and research ecosystem are robust, featuring over 20 laboratories and workshops, more than 8 advanced research centers, and 8 focused research thrust areas. The department has secured research funding exceeding ₹40 crores, published over 500 research papers in the last five years, established more than 10 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs), and is currently engaged in 20+ sponsored research projects.
A comprehensive student-centric learning approach is adopted, emphasizing experiential and outcome-based education. This includes workshops, laboratory sessions, assignments, technical training, seminars, projects, and independent study, all designed to enhance conceptual understanding and practical skills.
The department’s laboratory provides hands-on training in state-of-the-art facilities, enabling students to align their academic learning with current industrial practices and real-world problem-solving.
To transform our students into outstanding mechanical engineers with strong domain knowledge and skills, society-centric research intent, and exemplary ethical values, making them the most desired professionals by research institutions, industry, and society.

Note:
WK: The Washington Accord defines “Knowledge Profiles” (WKs) as a set of nine specific knowledge and attitude components that should be incorporated into engineering programs. These profiles, developed by the International Engineering Alliance, are used to assess the substantial equivalency of accredited engineering programs across signatory countries. The knowledge profiles are categorized into knowledge-based, application-based, and knowledge-searching, with each profile addressing different aspects of engineering education.
