M.Tech Energy or Master of Technology in Energy is a Post-Graduate Energy Engineering course. Energy is an indirectly observed quantity. Since work is defined as a force acting through a distance (a length of space), energy is always equivalent to the ability to exert pulls or pushes against the basic forces of nature, along with a path of a certain length.

The duration of a Master of Technology in Energy is generally two years, but it may vary from institute to institute and maybe on a part-time basis by certain institutes. The syllabus for the Master of Technology course in Energy is divided into four semesters and some electives. The Master of Technology course in Energy is very valuable and important and provides many career opportunities as it is job-orienting in nature.

M.Tech Energy Eligibility

  • The candidates must have completed their Graduation such as a BE / B.Tech degree in Mechanical / Production / Automation / Metallurgical / Aeronautical / Mechatronics / Marine / Energy / Industrial / Manufacturing under any registered University.
