Online M. Tech.
in Computational Mechanics (2023)
Introduction
The online M. Tech. in Computational Mechanics is a unique program offered by the Department of
Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, started in August 2021, that will train students to solve
multidisciplinary problems related to mechanical systems using computational techniques. Computational
tools are ubiquitous in mechanical, aerospace and allied industries and form an integral part of the engineering
design process today. Training in advanced computational techniques will greatly broaden the spectrum of
opportunities available to graduates.
The program combines elements of numerical methods and scientific computing with fundamental principles
in solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, design and vibrations. Courses covering fundamentals of numerical
analysis will be complemented with hands-on training using wide-ranging examples drawn from various
domains of engineering. The program will benefit industry professionals looking to build expertise in the area
looking to address technological challenges in industries in the automotive, oil and natural gas, renewable
energy, defense and manufacturing sectors.
Eligibility
B. E./B. Tech. with first class (60%) in Mechanical, Aerospace, Civil or Chemical engineering or other
equivalent degrees; AND should be currently working in industry with a minimum of 2 years of industry
experience after B. Tech. The selection will be based on the candidates’ background along with performance in
a written test and/or interview, which will be conducted online in June - July 2023.
Duration and Structure

Fee Structure
Background of Type of Fee Structure
Candidate Industry/Organization
Not an alumnus of IITH Private Organization Semester Fee of Rs. 15,000 + Rs 25,000/- per
course credit + Nil per thesis credit
Not an alumnus of IITH Governmental Organization Semester Fee of Rs. 15,000 + Rs 12,500/- per
course credit + Nil per thesis credit
IITH Alumnus Private or Governmental Semester Fee of Rs. 15,000 + Rs 12,500/- per
course credit + Nil per thesis credit
Students must have two years of prior
experience. Only 10% of the alumni are
eligible for this.
Dept. Of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, IIT Hyderabad
The fee is composed of two parts, namely course credits and semester fee. There are no fees for thesis credits.
This fee structure is applicable only for students admitted in 2023 onwards.
Example 1: A candidate working in a governmental organization who finishes the degree in three years (i.e. 6
semesters) would pay a total of 24 x 12,500 + 6 x 15,000 = Rs. 3,90,000/- over three years.
Example 2: A candidate working in a private organization who finishes the degree in two years (i.e. 4
semesters) would pay 24 x 25,000 + 4 x 15,000 = 6,60,000/- over two years.
