Mahindra University tie up with Norwegian varsity to launch MTech in robotics

The two-year degree program provides students with advanced engineering-related knowledge through courses in kinematics, dynamics, electronics, computer programming, mathematics and specialised electives.

Mahindra University has announced to launch MTech in robotics. The program is being introduced in partnership with the University of Agder, Norway. The program is designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and practical skills in the rapidly growing field of robotics.  

Through a comprehensive curriculum, students will gain expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer vision, automation and cyber physical systems, control systems, and human-robot interaction. The program aims to foster interdisciplinary learning, combining engineering principles with computer science and cognitive sciences. 

Eligibility criteria 

• To be considered for admission, candidates should hold a full-time degree from any recognised university or institute, with a minimum aggregate of 60 per cent or equivalent grade in BE/BTech in mechanical engineering, mechatronics, or electronics engineering. 
• Even those who are currently in their final semester and set to graduate this year are eligible to apply.  
• Those with a valid GATE score and a percentile score of 80 and above will be invited to undergo an interview for admission. Non-GATE qualified students or those with a percentile score below 80 will be required to take a written test conducted by ECSE-MU, followed by an interview for the shortlisted candidates.  

The academic fees for the program is INR 1 lakh per annum, and eligible candidates will also have the opportunity to receive a stipend of INR 18,000 per month as a teaching assistantship from the university.  Yajulu Medury, Vice-Chancellor, Mahindra University, said, “The semester exchange program will enable our students to immerse themselves in a diverse academic environment, further enhancing their skills and fostering cross-cultural understanding." 

The curriculum combines theoretical foundations with hands-on practical training, ensuring that students develop a deep understanding of robotics principles, algorithms, and technologies. This interdisciplinary program is offered by Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering in the Ecole Centrale School of Engineering, Mahindra University, in collaboration with Electronics and Computer Science departments. The two-year degree program provides students with advanced engineering-related knowledge through courses in kinematics, dynamics, electronics, computer programming, mathematics and specialised electives.  

The students will gain additional knowledge in the areas of intelligent machines, healthcare and automation. The program has a minimum of 60 credits spread over four semesters for full-time students. About two-thirds of the credits are for the course work, and the rest for master’s thesis with focus on conducting original research.
