About the Programme
Studying B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering at School of Mechanical Sciences, IIT Bhubaneswar is more than just a standard engineering degree. The programme is multidimensional, encouraging interdisciplinary learning alongside projects, entrepreneurship, and in-house internships. The curriculum and faculty at the School of Mechanical Sciences are student-friendly, helping students explore their full potential. Students can also take up minor programs from other disciplines in the institute.
The school encourages curiosity and research, guiding students to work on new technologies in thermal science, design, manufacturing, and robotics — with both technological and societal impact. Beyond core mechanical engineering, students get exposure to management, humanities, communication skills, arts, and general studies. They are encouraged to take up internships (in India and abroad) and organise fests and clubs, building independence, collaboration, and responsibility along the way.
School of Mechanical Sciences at IIT Bhubaneswar offers the following UG/PG programmes through JEE:
- B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering
- Dual Degree (B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering + M.Tech. in Mechanical System Design)
- Dual Degree (B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering + M.Tech. in Thermal Science & Engineering)
- Dual Degree (B.Tech. in Mechanical Engineering + M.Tech. in Manufacturing Engineering)
The B.Tech. programme runs for four years (8 semesters), and the Dual Degree programme for five years (10 semesters). The detailed curriculum is given below.
