• Postgraduate level

Completing a Postgraduate course in engineering results in achieving a Master of Engineering (M.E.) or Master of Technology (MTech) degree. It is a 2-years course that one can pursue after completing a 4-year undergraduate program in engineering (BTech) and is used to specialize within an engineering branch or field. M.E/MTech are considered to be parallel to MPhil and M.S degrees in Humanities and Science respectively.

• PhD Level

PhD in engineering-Doctoral of Philosophy in Engineering (PhD) is the advanced research course in engineering. Students are required to submit a thesis proposal during the admission procedures. The course duration varies from college to college, usually between 3-5 years.

• Diploma courses

Candidates can pursue a diploma in engineering after class 10th or 12th. It is a professional course which is a total of 3 years of duration. After completing a degree in Diploma, the candidates can directly join BTech as lateral entries in the second year which collectively takes them 6 years to complete their engineering (3 years diploma + 3 years B. Tech).

The courses in the diploma are the same as the courses in UG.

• Certificate courses

The certificate program is typically appropriate for those students who are seeking a very specific set of skills. This may be a young student preparing for other schooling or a professional who wants to make a career change. The program usually takes up to a year from beginning to end. Courses may include project management for engineers or a variety of engineering electives. 

Engineering Colleges in Mysore: Admission Process

• For Undergraduate courses

Admissions to BTech courses in India are conducted through national (JEE Mains, JEE Advanced), state (KCET, COMEDK UGET) or university/institute level (PESSAT, MU OET) entrance examinations. Deemed universities conduct their respective entrance examinations to shortlist students. Every year, these examinations are conducted in March and April.

• For Postgraduation courses

• Admission into different MTech Courses are completed based on the performance of the candidates in state or national-level postgraduate engineering entrance exams (PGCET).

• Candidates who secure qualifying marks in the entrance exams have to appear for counselling and personal interview rounds to evaluate the technical skills of the students.

• Final selection is done based on marks in MTech entrance exam as well as personal interview.

• For PhD - The basic eligibility to pursue this course is to hold a PG degree with at least 50% from a recognized institution in India under any allied Engineering branch.

• For Diploma courses

Candidates aspiring for Polytechnic admission in Mysore will have to apply online, and the DTE Karnataka will release a merit list based on the candidates applied. Then through the counselling process, the candidates will be allotted to colleges correspondingly.
