Manav Rachna University, Faculty of Engineering Faridabad Bachelor of Technology [B.Tech] CSE with Specialization in Gen AI: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. The regular B.Tech Robotics and AI is a 4-year program starting after Class 12, covering all 8 semesters from the foundation level. The lateral entry version is a 3-year program for diploma holders who join directly in the 2nd year. Both programs lead to the same degree and have the same annual fee of Rs. 2,56,500. The regular program provides a more comprehensive foundation in mathematics, physics, electronics, and programming from Semester 1, while the lateral entry program is designed for students who already have a diploma-level technical background.

Ans. L&T EduTech is the industry knowledge partner for this program. Their contribution includes two specific co-designed courses: The Python - A Complete Guide (L&T) in Semester 3, which covers Python programming from basics to data analysis and automation, and Career Readiness in Digital Era (L&T) in Semester 5, which focuses on digital workplace skills, resume building, interview preparation, and corporate etiquette. The Training Partner Fee of Rs. 38,000 per year covers these L&T EduTech-delivered courses and associated certifications.

Ans. MRU has a dedicated Robotics Lab with state-of-the-art equipment including PLC-controlled robotic arm setups, industrial automation setups by SVR InfoTech, demo models of automation and sensor technology, a robot with dual motors, sensors, and a LiDAR module for navigation and obstacle detection, a multi-joint robotic arm with a gripper, and a quadcopter drone with brushless motors and an electronic control board for autonomous navigation and aerial surveillance. Students also have access to technology-enhanced classrooms with ICT tools, a Pre-Incubation Centre for prototyping, and the Manav Rachna Business Incubator for startup support.

Ans. Graduates can pursue careers as Robotics Engineers, RPA (Robotic Process Automation) Engineers, AI Engineers, Automation Engineers, Control Engineers, Drone Operators and Engineers, Computer Vision Engineers, Industrial IoT Specialists, and Aerospace Engineers. Key industries hiring Robotics and AI graduates include manufacturing, defense, aerospace, healthcare, logistics, and autonomous vehicle development. Top recruiters from MRU include HCL, Wipro, Capgemini, TCS, IndiGo, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Google DeepMind, Deloitte, and Palo Alto. Starting salaries typically range from Rs. 3 LPA to Rs. 6 LPA, with experienced professionals earning Rs. 15 LPA and above.

Ans. Yes, MRU actively encourages undergraduate research. Students have access to IEEE, Springer, DELNET, and CSI journals through the digital library. The curriculum includes dedicated Research and Innovation courses in Semesters 3 and 4. The university has filed/granted 250+ patents, and undergraduate students are guided on writing research papers and filing patents. The E-Cell and Pre-Incubation Centre support students interested in converting research into startup ideas. Research areas in the department include Drone Technology, Collaborative Robotics, Biomedical Robotics, AI and Emerging Technologies, and Computer Vision.

Ans. Yes, the eligibility criteria for B.Tech Robotics and AI at MRU is relatively flexible. You need 55% aggregate in 5 subjects including English, Physics, and Mathematics, plus one subject from a broad list that includes Biology, Biotechnology, Agriculture, Business Studies, and Entrepreneurship in addition to Chemistry, Computer Science, and Electronics. So students who studied Biology or other non-CS subjects in Class 12 can apply, provided they have Physics and Mathematics. The first-year curriculum includes foundational courses in Programming (C), Electronics, and Mathematics that are designed to bring all students to the same level regardless of their Class 12 background.
