DTU M.Tech Power System Engineering: Fees 2026, Course Duration, Dates, Eligibility

Ans. Candidates should appear in the GATE Electrical Engineering (EE) paper for admission to M.Tech Power System Engineering at DTU. The EE paper covers topics such as power systems, electrical machines, control systems, and circuit theory. Non-GATE candidates may sit for the DTU M.Tech admission test in July 2026 at the DTU campus in Shahbad Daulatpur, New Delhi.

Ans. The M.Tech Power System Engineering programme at DTU covers power system analysis, stability studies, high-voltage engineering, protection and relay coordination, load flow studies, and fault analysis. Students also study smart grid technologies, power quality, and demand forecasting. The second year involves a research dissertation, where students typically work on grid modernisation, renewable integration, or substation automation projects.

Ans. Graduates can pursue roles as power system engineers, grid analysts, relay protection specialists, and project managers in the power sector. Public sector companies such as NTPC, PGCIL, NHPC, and state DISCOMs actively recruit power systems specialists. Private firms such as ABB, Siemens, and GE Grid Solutions also hire from this specialisation for substation design and grid management roles.

Ans. Yes, DTU accepts non-GATE candidates for M.Tech Power System Engineering through a departmental admission test conducted at the DTU campus. These candidates must meet the same minimum eligibility criteria of 60% in the qualifying degree. Non-GATE admitted students receive a monthly stipend of INR 7,500 from DTU, and sponsored candidates from power sector firms may also apply with an employer letter.

Ans. The M.Tech Power System Engineering programme at DTU has 25 full-time seats for the 2026-27 session. Seats are allocated based on GATE EE score merit and performance in the DTU admission test for non-GATE applicants. Given the focused nature of this specialisation, Electrical Engineering graduates with a strong background in power systems can be competitive even with moderate GATE scores.

Ans. Yes, students admitted to M.Tech Power System Engineering at DTU on the basis of a valid GATE score receive the AICTE-GATE scholarship of INR 12,400 per month for the entire 2-year duration. This stipend is disbursed through DTU Academic Affairs. Non-GATE students admitted through the admission test receive INR 7,500 per month from the institute as an internal fellowship.
