Master of Technology [M.Tech] (Automobile Engineering) Syllabus, Course Structure and Program Schedule 2024-2025

Course Structure

The course is designed to provide skills and knowledge designing, developing and maintaining the auto parts and automobiles so as to make students successful engineers with a shinning career.

The course contains of core courses, electives and Lab Practical.The course delivery methods include lectures, lab work, practical training, assignments, workshops etc.

During the course of this program, students are encouraged to research on a project and this usually happens in the last two semesters. The students are also required to complete a research project which forms an integral part of their final evaluation leading to the M.Tech degree.

In the final assessment, the students are graded on Theory paper, Term work (tests, assignments), Lab work, Training and Research Project.

Syllabus

The syllabus might vary from institution to institution. However, the common topics covered in the course are as follows:
