B.Tech Mechatronics (Deakin Dual) at MIT

Manipal

From Mechanical Concepts to Industry-Ready Solutions

The B.Tech in Mechatronics is a four-year dual degree undergraduate course where you study engineering across two institutions and graduate with degrees from Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT) and Deakin University.

The curriculum brings together mechanical engineering, electrical systems, electronics, control theory, and computing for automation-focused careers. You complete two years at MIT, then two years at Deakin University with project-led study and international academic exposure.

Program Highlights

Dual-Degree Structure: Through our program, you earn degrees from MIT and Deakin University with the objective of widening your academic choices and opening study and work options outside India.

Interdisciplinary Curriculum: Our program enables you to study mechanical systems, electrical engineering, electronics, control systems, and programming together so you can build the ability to work on complete engineering systems rather than isolated parts.

Automation and Robotics Focus: Our program trains you to work with automation, robotics, sensors, and industrial communication so you can support efficiency, control, and system reliability in modern engineering settings.

Industry-Linked Facilities: Our program places you in laboratories developed with industry participation so you become familiar with industrial equipment, processes, and professional work practices during your studies.

Project-Based Learning at Deakin: Our program allows you to work on structured engineering projects at Deakin University so you can apply theory to real system design, testing, and performance evaluation.

Lab Work

Access specialised laboratories at MIT covering drives and control systems, programmable logic controllers, robotics, sensors, pneumatics, hydraulics, embedded systems, industrial internet systems, and advanced simulation.

Industry Projects

Industry-supported laboratories at MIT support system-level problem work. Final-year projects at Deakin include industry-linked problem statements aligned with automation, robotics, and smart manufacturing.

Internships

Internship and placement support is provided during the final year at Deakin University.

Continuation of Scholarship

The award of Fee Waiver for the subsequent years will be the same as given at the time of admission in the first year. Scholarship will be extended in the subsequent year only to those students who have cleared all subjects in the University Examinations of previous year before the due date for payment of annual program fee. Students who are promoted to next year with failures (F) / Incomplete (I) / Detention (DT) grades, will NOT be eligible for fee waiver for that academic year. Fee Waiver will be forfeited in the instances of irregularity in attendance, proven charges of indiscipline, bringing disrepute to the Department / Institution / University etc.

Withdrawal Policy

In case the candidate leaves the course before the course completion (for any reason), he / she MUST reimburse the total program fee (as per Prospectus 2025) for the years of scholarship utilized, back to MAHE Manipal.
