Mechanical Engineering Department was started in the Academic Year 2011 with an intake of 60 for the B. Tech (Mechanical Engineering) program.

Accreditation: B. Tech Mechanical Engineering program was initially accredited by NBA under Tier-1 for three years (2018-19 to 2020-21). This was extended for one more year (2021-22). The program was then re-accredited for three more years (2022-23 to 2024-25).

Faculty: The department has twenty-six faculty members and nine of them are doctorates. Seventeen faculty members are pursuing Ph.D. Most of the faculty members have obtained their Ph.D. or M. Tech degree from reputed academic institutions like IITs, NITs, BITS Pilani and University Engineering Colleges.

Faculty Research: Faculty members are active in research and the total research grants received are around 98 lakh rupees. Faculty members received research grant from reputed organisations like DMRL and few faculty are working for research projects with international collaboration. Faculty have published 11 patents and out of them two patents were granted. Department faculty have published around four hundred research publications, with around 40% of them being indexed in Scopus/SCI/ESCI database

Faculty members of the department have achieved many laurels like Best Paper Awards. Some of the faculty members are active members on the editorial boards of various reputed journals.

Laboratories: All laboratories of the department have been established with state-of-the-art equipment, with a total outlay of about 2.8 crores. Notable equipment is production-oriented CNC machines like CNC Turning Centre and CNC Milling Centre and advanced software like Master CAM, CREO and ANSYS-CFD. To promote student-centric learning, Team Projects Lab has been introduced in the curriculum in the second semester of B.Tech. third year. Students have developed a number of products in this lab.

Exposure of Students to Industry Environment: The Department completed consultancy work worth 22 lakh rupees in CNC machining. Students are exposed to industrial problems by involving them in the consultancy work.  The Department has MoUs with M/S COMSAT systems Pvt.Ltd. Industry visits and expert lectures from industry personnel are organised regularly.

Minor Degree Program:  Students admitted into B. Tech Mechanical Engineering, can also pursue a minor degree in any of the following disciplines.

• Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning
• Data Science
• Cyber Security
• IoT

A minor degree certificate can greatly enhance the employability of students of Mechanical Engineering and may also pave the way for pursuing higher studies in interdisciplinary areas.

To allow faculty members to interact closely with various national and international experts, the Department is organising series of International Conferences (ICE3MT)-the first conference organised in 2020, second conference in 2022 and third conference in 2024.  Such conferences provide an opportunity for B. Tech. Mechanical Engineering students to interact with international experts, which may help them in getting admission in to reputed world universities for MS program.

Student Activities: To promote communication and organizational skills of students, MEKNOVATES-Mechanical Engineering Students Association regularly organizes Guest Lectures, Industrial Visits, Technical Fests, Design Contests, Live Model Contests etc. To expose students to cutting edge technologies, special Workshops and Value-added courses are conducted on regular basis.
