No, you generally cannot pursue an M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering without a B.Tech/B.E. degree. Here’s why:
1. Basic Eligibility Requirement:
- M.Tech programs require candidates to have completed a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (B.Tech/B.E.) or an equivalent qualification in a related field. This ensures that applicants have a strong foundation in engineering principles necessary for advanced study.
2.Diploma Holders:
- Diploma holders in Mechanical Engineering or related fields cannot directly apply for M.Tech. However, they can pursue a B.Tech through lateral entry (entering in the second year of B.Tech) and, upon completion, become eligible for M.Tech programs.
3. Integrated Programs:
- Some universities offer integrated programs that combine undergraduate and postgraduate engineering studies, but these still require entry at the undergraduate level and cannot be joined directly at the M.Tech phase.
