Programme Overview
MIT offers the M.Tech in three streams — Computer Science & Engineering, Structural Engineering and Thermal Engineering — with twelve seats each. The small cohorts are deliberate: this is a research degree, and a supervisor cannot meaningfully guide twenty dissertations at once.
The first year is taught coursework; the second is almost entirely the dissertation. Students work inside an existing department research strand rather than inventing a topic from scratch, which is why our completion rate is high and why several dissertations each year turn into conference papers.
GATE-qualified candidates receive a monthly stipend as per AICTE norms plus a teaching assistantship — typically two undergraduate tutorial groups per week, which is genuinely useful preparation for anyone considering an academic career.
Streams Offered
Computer Science & Engineering
Machine learning, distributed systems, network security and data engineering. Dissertations run in the Centre of Excellence GPU lab.
12 seats · Dr. Anjali Verma
Structural Engineering
Advanced structural analysis, earthquake-resistant design, concrete technology and construction materials research.
12 seats · Dr. Rajeev Sharma
Thermal Engineering
Heat transfer, IC engines, refrigeration, renewable thermal systems and energy efficiency in process industries.
12 seats · Prof. Sunil Kumar Tyagi

Careers After M.Tech
M.Tech graduates typically move into one of three routes: teaching, specialist industry roles, or doctoral study. Of the 2025 cohort of 31, eleven joined engineering colleges as assistant professors, fourteen took specialist industry positions and four registered for a PhD.
- Assistant Professor (AICTE eligibility)
- R&D / Design Specialist
- Structural Design Consultant
- Senior Software / ML Engineer
- Energy & Thermal Systems Consultant
- PhD admission in India or abroad
