HBTU M.Tech Power Electronics: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Yes. Candidates admitted with a valid GATE score receive the UGC GATE scholarship, a monthly stipend of INR 12,400 plus an annual contingency grant of INR 5,000, paid across the two-year programme. This makes the course attractive for graduates who want to specialise in power electronics without a heavy financial burden, and the support continues as long as academic progress remains satisfactory.

Ans. The programme covers power converters, electric drives, control of power devices, renewable energy integration and FACTS. Laboratory and project work let students design and test converter circuits and drive systems. This mix prepares graduates for the electric vehicle, renewable energy and drive manufacturing sectors that are expanding rapidly, and the curriculum is updated to reflect new device and control technologies. Simulation tools and hardware prototyping are both part of the project work, giving a balanced exposure to both circuit design and practical testing of real power systems.

Ans. The full course fee is INR 1,20,000 over two years, roughly INR 60,000 a year paid in annual instalments, with hostel and mess billed separately. As a government university with a GATE stipend on offer, the effective cost for scholars is far lower than comparable private postgraduate programmes in the field, which is a major draw for applicants.

Ans. Graduates are recruited by power systems firms, electric vehicle and drive manufacturers, renewable energy companies and electronics design houses. The hands-on converter and drive design exposure is valued for research and development as well as field engineering roles. Some scholars also continue into doctoral research in electrical engineering, and public-sector power utilities recruit from this group as well. The shift towards electric mobility and grid integration of renewables has widened the range of roles open to these postgraduates.

Ans. Seats are filled on GATE merit through HBTU counselling. After results, candidates register on the admission portal, fill their choices and wait for the merit list and seat allotment. The seat is confirmed only after document verification and payment of the admission fee within the stated window. Missing the verification deadline can lead to the seat being released to the next candidate.

Ans. Yes. The programme builds a solid base in converter design, control and renewable integration, which are active research areas. Scholars who complete a strong thesis and qualify GATE or NET can move into a Ph.D in electrical engineering at HBTU or pursue research roles in industry and national laboratories. The thesis work often results in conference or journal publications that strengthen a research profile, which helps candidates applying for doctoral fellowships later.
