MTech full form is Master of Technology which is a professional postgraduate engineering master's degree programme awarded to students after completion of two years of study in the discipline of Engineering. Mtech degree courses are offered under several course types such as Regular (Full-Time), Sponsored (Full-Time), Part-Time MTech, Online MTech, and Project Staff (For those who are presently working on sponsored projects).

In India, the MTech degree is offered across various specializations. These specializations include Civil Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, VLSI, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering. Moreover, there are some other specializations as well, which are in demand such as MTech in Cyber Security, MTech in Artificial Intelligence, MTech in Aeronautical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering. 

Surprisingly, Online MTech or MTech distance courses are gaining popularity due to their flexibility and accessibility, making them an ideal choice for working professionals. Additionally, interdisciplinary MTech courses that combine different engineering fields like MTech CSE and AI & ML are emerging to address the complex challenges faced by modern industries. Furthermore, there is a growing focus on sustainability and green technologies within MTech specializations.

This master's degree program is also open to diploma holders who have work experience for a specified period. It is regulated and recognized by authorities like the University Grants Commission of India (UGC), the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), and the National Board of Accreditation (NBA).

GATE is one of the prominent national-level entrance exams for MTech courses along with other state and university-specific exams. The Indian government is actively encouraging postgraduate engineering education by offering scholarships and funding initiatives, making MTech a more attainable choice for students.

Eligibility criteria for admission to MTech Admissions 2025 typically require candidates to hold a BTech or a related field with a minimum of 60 percent aggregate marks or an equivalent CGPA. Top MTech colleges include the IITs (such as IIT Madras, IIT Bombay, IIT Delhi) and the National Institutes of Technology (NITs), where admission is highly competitive and based on performance in the entrance exams, academic records, and sometimes interviews.
