BE Mechanical Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering is an Under-Graduate Mechanical Engineering course. The time period of the course is four years and the course deals with the study of mechanics, statics, kinematics, thermodynamics, materials science, and structural analysis used in the designing, development, construction, production, installation, operation, and maintenance of tools, machines and various other mechanical equipment such as automobiles, trucks, airplanes, trains, space vehicles, lathes, milling machines, grinders, large steam and gas turbines, components of thermal power stations, internal combustion engines, jet engines, air conditioning and heating machines, refrigerators, etc. In short, the Bachelor of Engineering degree course in Mechanical Engineering mainly focuses on the study of the application of the principles of mechanics and energy to the design of machines and devices.
BE Mechanical Engineering Eligibility
- Aspiring students should have passed 10+2 or equivalent examinations, with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics with a reasonably high percentage of marks in the aggregate and clearing the different national and state level entrance exams such as the All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE), Birla Institute of Technology and Science Admission Test (BITSAT), etc. conducted by different universities and colleges across the country.
- Selection to the BE in Mechanical Engineering degree course is based on marks secured in the final merit i.e., total marks aggregated in the final exams of 10+2 and the entrance exams.
- A Joint Entrance Exam (JEE) is conducted by the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) in the country. The entrance to the IITs can be secured only after clearing this JEE.
- An examination is also conducted by the Associate Membership of the Institute of Engineers (AMIE), which enables working people in the private/public sector and diploma holders to acquire a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering through distance education. The degree awarded is considered equivalent to a regular BE in Mechanical Engineering degree.
