Sevdie Institute of Management and Technology Lucknow Polytechnic Mechanical Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The total fee for the 3-year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering at SIMT Lucknow is INR 90,450 for the entire programme duration. This is the consolidated fee as published by the institute. BTEUP examination and registration fees are charged separately by the board and are not part of this amount. Students are advised to confirm the semester-wise payment schedule with SIMT Lucknow’s admission office before completing the enrolment process.

Ans. Admission is based on JEECUP, the UP Polytechnic Joint Entrance Examination conducted by the Examinations Regulatory Authority, Uttar Pradesh. After appearing in JEECUP and obtaining a merit rank, candidates participate in online counselling and fill their institute and branch preferences. Seat allotment is done on the basis of JEECUP rank, category, and preferences, and SIMT Lucknow can be selected as a preferred institute for the Mechanical Engineering branch. Candidates should register before the closing date to ensure a smooth application process.

Ans. The BTEUP-prescribed Diploma in Mechanical Engineering curriculum includes regular workshop and laboratory sessions covering fitting, welding, machining, foundry, sheet metal work, and measurements. Students work on lathes, milling machines, drilling machines, and use standard measuring instruments. Industrial training is a part of the curriculum in the later semesters, providing students with hands-on exposure to real manufacturing environments. This practical component is highly valued by employers in Lucknow’s growing industrial belt near the TELCO area.

Ans. Diploma holders in Mechanical Engineering are eligible to apply for junior engineer (JE) and technical assistant posts in state public works departments (PWD), irrigation departments, municipal corporations, railways, and central government undertakings such as BHEL and ONGC. In Uttar Pradesh, diploma-level recruitment examinations for government technical posts are conducted periodically where this diploma serves as a qualifying credential. Candidates should monitor state government recruitment notifications regularly to identify relevant opportunities.

Ans. Yes. Completing the 3-year Diploma in Mechanical Engineering from a BTEUP-affiliated institution makes a student eligible for lateral entry into the second year of a B.Tech Mechanical Engineering programme. In Uttar Pradesh, this is done through JEECUP lateral-entry counselling. Other state-level lateral entry examinations also accept BTEUP diploma holders. This is a widely used progression pathway for polytechnic graduates who wish to pursue a full engineering degree while building on their existing diploma foundation.
