The Department of Mechanical Engineering, established in the year 2001, with a vision to carve a distinct niche for itself in the field of mechanical engineering education in India, offers a 4- year B.Tech. program in Mechanical Engineering. The department has, over the years, built and maintained a high level of intellectual capital. It has to its credit a strong team of 33 highly qualified and richly experienced faculty members, 10 out of whom are PhDs and others are pursuing it from institutions of high repute. The seasoned faculty is deeply committed to train and develop students into future ready professionals competent enough to take on the challenges of the professional world as they embark on chosen careers paths.
A number of students have achieved several milestones like securing All India Rank-1in ESE – 2015 and 20 in ESE-2014, All India rank of 8, 36 and 55 in GATE-2015 and All India rank 16, 25, 51 in CSIR 2015 besides securing top ranks in university merit list. The alumni are leading successful professional lives working with top notch public and private companies like NTPC, IOCL, ONGC, SAIL, EIL, NALCO, BARC, Indian Railways, L&T, Mahindra & Mahindra, Samsung, LG, EBZ Ltd etc.
The department organizes a number of training/faculty development programs for the faculty, technical staff and students on periodical basis with a view help them refresh their skills. The various technical and cultural societies functional at the department level provide the students with the ample opportunities to explore and demonstrate the hidden talent that might be lying in subconscious state. The student members have in the recent times participated and won prizes in technical events organized by professional societies like ASME and SAE at various levels.
All the laboratories in the department are well-equipped to make possible conduction of specifically designed experiments in addition to the ones prescribed in the university syllabus. Department has high-tech equipments like Pin-on-disc wear testing machine, Surface Profilometer, TIG and MIG welding machines, CNC milling and CNC lathe trainers, among others to cater to the needs of researchers & students.
