M.Tech in Machine Design is a 2- year post graduate program covering the essential concepts and processes involved in the design and manufacture of machines and machine- related items. The program is an offshoot of Mechanical Engineering, focussing machine design using analytical, numerical and experimental approaches.
The average annual fees charged for the course in ranges between INR 2 and 8 Lacs, varying with difference in institutes offering the course.
A minimum qualification of science- based graduation (B Tech/ B.E), completed from a recognized college/ university is needed for acquiring eligibility for applying to the course. Preferably, the major subject in graduation should have been Machine Design. Additionally, aspiring candidates need to qualify GATE (Entrance Exam) with an eligible score.

Machine design is a composite application of mathematics, kinematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, material science, engineering and also engineering drawing. The PG course essentially focuses on areas like Theory of Elasticity and Plasticity, Theory of Plates and Shells, Advanced Vibrations, Finite Element Analysis, Kinematics Design, Tribology and Bearing Design, Fracture Mechanics, Experimental Stress Analysis, etc. enrolled students have the opportunity to work in the areas of design and analysis in association with faculty members on on-going research projects.
This 2- year course consists of 4 semesters, with the first two semesters common between most engineering courses, and the last two reserved for candidates to choose their prospective major and minor specializations.
Listed below are some of the top institutes offering the course in the country with the corresponding locations and fees charged by each.

Candidates wishing to apply for M.Tech in Machine Design need to meet the following minimum eligibility criteria:
ME/M.TECH Colleges In Karnataka | ME/M.TECH Colleges In Gujarat | ME/M.TECH Colleges In Uttar Pradesh | ME/M.TECH Colleges In Madhya Pradesh |
Aspiring eligible candidates with good communication skills, qualities such as creativity, research and analytical skills, and interest in the field of Machinery and Mechanics may ideally go for this course.
Eligible candidates are required to qualify the relevant entrance examination followed by a round of group discussion. Subsequently, qualifying candidates would need to go through additional rounds of personal interview as the final stage in the process of selection. The main entrance exams held in India for admission to the course is GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering).
However, a few colleges also have their own entrance examinations and admission procedures in place for selecting and admitting candidates.
Upon successful completion of the course, postgraduates interested in further studies in the discipline may go for pursuing Ph. D in the subject, and those interested in academic application of their training may go for a teaching career in universities/ colleges. Also, interested candidates may even go for pursuing a dual degree in the course or research.
Listed here are some of the popular industries that hire such postgraduates.
JOB POSITION | JOB DESCRIPTION | AVERAGE ANNUAL SALARY |
---|---|---|
Electrical Engineer | To evaluate electrical systems, products, components, and applications by designing and conducting research programs, to confirms system's and components' capabilities by designing testing methods | INR 3.5 Lacs |
Project Leader | To deliver every project within time, budget and scope. Project managers need to have a sound background in business skills, management, budgeting and analysis. They plan projects and work with project teams | INR 10 Lacs |
Machine Operator | To work with heavy machinery from setup to operation. Machine Operators might work with computer-controlled equipment or more mechanically- based machines to make sure that they are set up properly, working well, and producing quality services. | INR 2 Lacs |
Design Engineer | To combine the knowledge of design, engineering, and manufacturing processes for creation of functional products. They may conduct tests in order to determine whether their products meet all requirements, and document the results. | INR 6 Lacs |
Machine Engineer | To analyse problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve problems in operation, to design/ redesign mechanical and thermal devices using analysis and computer-aided designs, to develop and test prototypes of designed devices. | INR 3 Lacs |
