B.Tech (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING)
B.Tech (MECHANICAL ENGINEERING)
There are very few Mechanical Engineering Colleges in Punjab, which have remained always in demand and continue to be in the future. Mechanical Engineering deals with the application of the laws of nature at the micro/macro level. This broad and diverse field includes design & thermal analysis of components, machines & power generators. It also includes simulation, modeling & control of plants/process/industries, non-destructive testing Quest Group of Institutions provides great scope in Mechanical Engineering.
Mechanical Engineers play an important role in the design and manufacturing of everything from small individual parts and devices (e.g., inkjet printer nozzles and microscale sensors) to large systems (e.g., aircraft, spacecraft, and machine tools).
For B.Tech. 1st Year – 10+2 (PCM) from a recognized Board with minimum 45% marks.
For LEET (2nd Year) – 3 Year Polytechnic Diploma in any stream from a recognized Board with minimum 45% marks.
For International Students– 12 years of formal schooling with Mathematics and Science Subjects with at least 45% marks from a Board/ University recognized by the Government of the respective Country.
