M.Tech - Automobile Engineering

Overview 

M.Tech in Automobile Engineering (M.Tech AME) is a postgraduate engineering course in designing, manufacturing and operating automobiles. The minimum eligibility for this course requires passing B.E/B.Tech in Automobile/IndustrialProduction/ Manufacturing/ Mechanical/Mechatronics from a recognized university.

MTech Automobile engineering Admission is mostly through PG Engineering Entrance Examinations like GATE. Various colleges have their own entrance exam for admission in the course.

The average tuition fee for the entire course ranges from 1.5 Lakh INR to 3.5 Lakhs INR.

M.Tech AME graduates can choose from jobs in the automobile, Aeronautical and Automotive sectors. They can work as automotive Engineers, Service Maintenance engineers, Product development managers, corporate sales managers etc. A fresh graduate of this course can expect an annual salary of between 1 Lakh INR – 3 Lakh INR which would only increase with experience in the field.
