Mechanical and Automation Engineering Entrance Exams

JEE Main

JEE Main is relevant to participating government and private institutes offering the exact or related branch. The counselling body and seat matrix determine whether Mechanical and Automation Engineering is actually available.

JAC Delhi counselling caution

JAC Delhi uses JEE Main rank for participating Delhi institutions, but it should not be presented as a guaranteed route to this exact title. Candidates should not select an old branch code: Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology's BTech Mechanical and Automation Engineering has been reported discontinued. NSUT's current official degree list uses Manufacturing Processes and Automation Engineering, which is related but not the same award.

GATE

GATE is relevant to many related postgraduate programmes. NSUT's current official list shows MTech Production Engineering and Engineering Management rather than an exact Mechanical and Automation Engineering award. Each department specifies accepted qualifying degrees, GATE papers, score weightage and any additional test or interview.

Other undergraduate routes

State and university examinations may lead to related Manufacturing, Production, Automation, Mechanical or Mechatronics programmes. They should not be described as routes to an exact course unless the current seat matrix uses that title.

Related postgraduate routes

COEP and other universities may use GATE and state postgraduate counselling. Shiv Nadar University Chennai uses its own stated professional and academic conditions. Candidates must examine mode and project requirements.

Discontinued programmes

I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University's MTech Manufacturing Engineering and Automation was reported discontinued in July 2025. A discontinued Computer-Integrated Manufacturing course at ADYPU should also not be presented as active.

Preparation strategy

UG candidates should follow the official PCM syllabus and practise timed questions. PG candidates should prepare Mechanical or another accepted GATE paper and revise manufacturing fundamentals.
