What does a degree in B.Tech entail?
There are numerous exciting and lucrative career options in India. In our country, Bachelor of Technology degree is a professional engineering undergraduate degree that’s given to students who complete four years of academic study in engineering field. There is an enormous obsession among students for this field of study globally. B.Tech is a 4 year full-time undergraduate course that offers specialisations in various disciplines. However, the duration of B.Tech courses varies from country to country. The most common fields of engineering in India are: Civil Engineering that encompasses planning, construction and maintenance of structures like buildings, roads, stadiums, dams etc.; Mechanical Engineering, that deals with concepts of Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Robotics, Kinematics, Structural Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, Power Sector, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning sector and Aerospace; Computer Science that includes Programming, Software Development, Computer Science etc.; Electrical and Electronics Engineering that deals with designing, developing, testing, and administering the manufacturing of Electrical Equipment, such as Electric Motors, Radar and Navigation Systems etc. Some of the new-age branches of B.Tech include: Aeronautical Engineering, Automobile Engineering, Biotechnology Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Automation and Robotics, Chemical Engineering, Robotics Engineering etc. In the last few years, the scope of engineering across all its branches is soaring. A lot of new-age colleges/universities have emerged in the past few years to render high-tech, modern, multi-
disciplinary mode of study. Students these days besides getting a degree desire for more and that’s exactly what these universities aim at. New-age universities changing the narrative of the Indian Education System Mahindra École Centrale (MEC) College of Engineering which recently has been subsumed into the Mahindra University is India's First University to drive digital transformation of higher education powered by emerging technologies. Mahindra University offers a full-time, four-year engineering programme in various streams such as, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Civil Engineering (CE), Computation & Mathematics (CM), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electronics & Computer Engineering (ECE), Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE) and Mechanical Engineering (ME); with thrust areas that include, but are not limited to energy, environment, communication, infrastructure, transportation, materials and defence. Mahindra University is home to state-of-the-art infrastructure for learning and recreation. A clear focus on multidisciplinary knowledge, emerging technologies, and critical-creative thinking, enables the newage engineers to rise and be on the lines with the industry expectations. The faculty members at Mahindra University hold the highest degree in their respective field, and include academicians from IITs as well as research scholars, many of whom have been either nationally or internationally recognised.
