Mechanical & Automotive Engineering

Routes into Mechanical & Automotive Engineering are open to students from Science (PCM). For Arts / Humanities, Commerce and Science (PCB), some degree courses are possible, but each university sets its own subject rules, so check the specific course. Choose the stream your child will do well and stay interested in; the routes below show the exact subject rules.

For B.E./B.Tech seats through JEE (Main) in the NIT+ system: Physics and Mathematics, plus one of Chemistry / Biotechnology / Biology / a technical vocational subject, plus a language. Subject eligibility is set by each university for each programme; CUET lets students choose test subjects irrespective of their Class 12 subjects, but admission still depends on the university's own programme rules.

The main routes are: Engineering degree (B.Tech. and B.E.); Skill-based vocational degree (B.Voc.).

Depending on the route: JEE (Main), JEE (Advanced) — for IITs, State / university engineering entrance tests and University / college admission. Always check the latest official bulletin before you apply.

Reliable published data on this isn't available yet, so we'd rather say so than guess.

Interest is a good start, but fit also depends on your strengths, how you like to work and what matters to you. Our assessment looks at all of these and your report shows which paths suit you, with a counsellor available to talk it through.
