Which M.Tech specialisation group should you pick at MAHE?
Specialisation group
Computer science
5 courses, INR 4.06 Lakhs to INR 4.42 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET only.
Pick it if:
You want the course most students look at: Computer Science and Engineering drew the most views of any M.Tech course here last year.
You hold a computer, IT or electronics B.Tech: these courses take graduates of those branches who scored 50% or more.
You want a lower fee in this group: Cyber Security costs INR 4.06 Lakhs for two years, against INR 4.42 Lakhs for Data Science.
Skip it if:
You hold only a PGCUET score: no course in this group takes PGCUET, so you must write MET.
You want two scholarships at once: MAHE allows one scholarship at a time, so the GATE scholarship and the 20% waiver do not add up.
Electronics and electrical
6 courses, INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET; PGCUET works for 2 of them.
Pick it if:
You want work in chips or electric vehicles: this group teaches Micro Electronics and Electric Vehicular Technology, and core companies in both fields hire M.Tech graduates.
You hold a PGCUET score: Power Electronics and Drives and Electric Vehicular Technology take PGCUET scores as well as MET.
You want the lowest fee here: Biomedical Engineering costs INR 3.56 Lakhs for two years, in the lowest fee group of the degree.
Skip it if:
You want a low fee for chip design: Micro Electronics is in the highest fee group, at INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years.
You studied mechanical or civil engineering: most courses here need an electrical, electronics or instrumentation B.Tech, so check the branch list first.
Engineering Management
One course, INR 4.06 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET only.
Pick it if:
You hold a B.Tech in any branch: Engineering Management takes BE or B.Tech graduates of every branch who scored 50% or more.
You want engineering and management together: it was the third most viewed M.Tech course here last year, after two others.
Skip it if:
You want an MBA degree: this course gives an M.Tech degree, not an MBA, even though it teaches management.
You hold only a PGCUET score: this course does not take PGCUET, so you must write MET.
Civil
3 courses, INR 4.06 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET; PGCUET works for 2 of them.
Pick it if:
You want building design or project site work: Structural Engineering trains you for design offices, and Construction Engineering and Management for project sites.
You hold a PGCUET score: Construction Engineering and Management and Environmental Engineering take PGCUET scores as well as MET.
You hold a B.Arch: two courses in this group take B.Arch graduates from the 2025 intake onward.
Skip it if:
You want a low fee: Structural Engineering is in the highest fee group, at INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years.
You need a hostel room for sure: MAHE gives PG rooms first come, first served, and students left out find their own place.
Chemical and biotech
2 courses, INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 3.70 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET; PGCUET works for 1 of them.
Pick it if:
You want a low fee: Chemical Engineering costs INR 3.56 Lakhs for two years, in the lowest fee group of the degree.
You hold a PGCUET score: Chemical Engineering takes PGCUET scores as well as MET.
You want work in process or bio industries: these two courses take chemical, biotech, food and pharma graduates, so your class comes from many branches.
Skip it if:
You studied computer science or civil engineering: these courses need a chemical, biotech or related B.Tech, so your branch may not qualify.
You want a pay figure for this group: MIT publishes one median pay for all two-year PG courses, not for each specialisation.
Mechanical
6 courses, INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years without hostel. Entry by MET; PGCUET works for 1 of them.
Pick it if:
You want robotics or aircraft systems: Industrial Automation and Robotics and Avionics are in this group, and both take electronics as well as mechanical graduates.
You want a low fee: Automobile Engineering costs INR 3.56 Lakhs for two years, in the lowest fee group.
You hold a PGCUET score: Thermal Sciences and Energy Systems takes PGCUET scores as well as MET.
Skip it if:
You want a low fee for robotics: Industrial Automation and Robotics is in the highest fee group, at INR 4.44 Lakhs for two years.
You want to skip MET: only one course in this group takes PGCUET, so the others need a MET rank.
Counsellor's advice
If your B.Tech branch fits more than one group, rank the courses by subject first and fee second. Write MET even if you hold GATE, because only MET rank holders get the 20% waiver.
M.Tech Eligibility▾
Same rule, every specialisation: A BE or B.Tech in a relevant branch with 50% aggregate marks.
Relevant branch: Each course lists the B.Tech branches it takes. Engineering Management takes every branch.
Entrance test: A MET rank works for every course. A PGCUET score also works for six courses.
GATE: Not needed. A valid General category GATE score adds weightage on the merit list.
B.Arch holders: Two civil courses take B.Arch graduates from the 2025 intake onward.
M.Tech Admission Process▾
Apply online: Fill the MAHE form for M.Tech before the last date. In 2026 it was 30 Apr.
Write MET or send PGCUET: MET gives a rank for every course. Six courses also shortlist on a PGCUET score.
Check the merit list: MAHE ranks students on the MET score, with weightage for a General category GATE score.
Pick your course order: In counselling you choose from the courses your rank and your B.Tech branch allow.
Pay and report: Pay the full first-year fee and the INR 10,000 deposit, then report with your original papers.

In short
VIT pays a higher median and ranks higher in NIRF, but places a smaller share of its PG batch. If you clear its own test, compare its course fee with the MAHE fee before you choose.
In short
Amrita ranks higher in NIRF, but its median pay and its placement rate are both lower. If your course is offered at both, MAHE has the better placement record on these figures.
In short
Thapar has the highest median pay here and a higher NIRF rank, with a much smaller PG batch. If you get your course there, weigh its fee and location against Manipal.
In short
KIIT places almost its whole small PG batch and pays a little more, with a higher NIRF rank. If your course is offered there, check its course list first, because its intake is much smaller.
FAQs on MAHE M.Tech
Straight answers to what students ask before they decide.
Is M.Tech at MAHE worth the fee?▾
Yes, for most students who finish and get placed. The full two-year fee is INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs without hostel, and MIT's two-year PG courses had a median of INR 7.5 LPA for the Class of 2024, with 85% placed. At that pay you earn the fee back within your first year of work. If you take a loan, check the EMI tile in the fee block above.
Which M.Tech specialisation should I pick at MAHE?▾
Pick a course your B.Tech branch qualifies for and a subject you want to work in. The fee differs by course, from INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs, but MIT publishes one median pay for all PG courses. So pay cannot guide your choice here. Read the group cards in the specialisation block above before you fill your choices.
Should I write MET even if I have a GATE score?▾
Yes. A General category GATE score only adds weightage on the MET merit list, and every course admits through MET. Only MET rank holders get the MAHE merit waiver of 20%. Write MET, and keep your GATE score card ready for the AICTE scholarship.
Is the GATE scholarship better than the MAHE merit waiver?▾
Yes, in money terms. The AICTE scholarship pays INR 12,400 a month for 24 months, which is INR 2.98 Lakhs, while the 20% waiver on the Computer Science and Engineering fee is INR 88,400. MAHE allows only one of them at a time. If you qualify through GATE, apply for the AICTE scholarship.
Will I get a job after M.Tech at MAHE?▾
Most students do. MIT placed 196 of its 231 two-year PG graduates in the Class of 2024, which is 85%, at a median of INR 7.5 LPA. These figures cover all two-year PG courses, not only M.Tech. Ask the placement office which companies hired from your course last year before you pay.
Who should skip M.Tech at MAHE?▾
Skip it if your B.Tech marks are below 50%, because every course needs that floor. Also think again if you must have a hostel room, since PG rooms go first come, first served. If neither applies, compare the fee of your course with the median pay in the fee block above.
Should I pick a PGCUET course to avoid MET?▾
Only if the course itself suits you. Six courses take PGCUET scores, including Chemical Engineering and Electric Vehicular Technology. A PGCUET admission does not bring the MAHE merit waiver, which needs a MET rank. Use the checker above to see which route opens your course.
Should I pay more for a course in a higher fee group?▾
Only if that course is the one you want. The highest group costs INR 4.44 Lakhs and the lowest INR 3.56 Lakhs over two years. MIT does not show pay by course, so a higher fee does not promise higher pay. Tap your fee group in the fee block to see the full cost with hostel.
How do I get admission to M.Tech at MAHE?▾
Apply online, then write MET or send a PGCUET score for the six courses that take it. MAHE ranks students on merit, with weightage for a General category GATE score. Attend counselling, pay the first-year fee with the INR 10,000 deposit, and report on campus with your papers.
Is the fee the same for every specialisation?▾
No. The full two-year fee without hostel is INR 3.56 Lakhs to INR 4.44 Lakhs, in six fee groups. Computer Science and Engineering costs INR 4.42 Lakhs. Check your course's fee on its card above, then tap that group in the fee block.
Can I get a hostel room as an M.Tech student?▾
Yes, if a room is free. PG rooms go first come, first served, and you email the chief warden in the first week of July. A double room with mess costs INR 1.23 Lakhs a year. Students left out find their own place in Manipal.
Do I get the fee back if I leave the seat?▾
Partly. MAHE follows its refund policy for AICTE programmes, and the amount you get back falls as the class start date nears. The hostel fee comes back in full if you withdraw before classes start. Read the refund policy before you pay the first-year fee.
