About the Department

Established in the year 2002, with 60 students, the Department of Mechanical Engineering has blossomed to 360 students in 2014 as a full- fledged state of the art facility, a centre of excellence for Quality Education. The Department boasts of highly qualified and experienced professionals with wide exposure in all aspects of the subjects they handle. Many faculties possess/ pursue PhD and are involved in research and consultancy projects including friction stir processing, welding, advanced machining, nano composite materials, alternate fuels, additives, tribology and wear.

The students of the department have consistently performed well in academics with 3 gold medals and 125 University ranks so far. In addition to academics, the students career is enhanced through training in soft skills, personality development and placement training classes. With industrial and field experts, value added programs such as CNC Machine Programming, CATIA, PIPING-SOFTWARE, CFD, SAP and GATE are regularly conducted. The major recruiters of the department include Yamaha, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, F.L.Smidth, MRF, TCS, Infosys, Wipro, CTS. Many students also pursue higher studies at reputed national and international universities
