What do you mean by Technology?
Technology is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purpose or applications, whether in industry or in our everyday lives. So, basically whenever we use our scientific knowledge to achieve some specific purpose, we are using technology. Well there is slightly more to it than that. Technology usually involves a specific piece of equipment, but that equipment can be incredibly simple or dazzlingly complex, it can be anything from the discovery of the wheel at the way up to computers and other devices.
The role and impact of technology in both our personal and working lives is ever growing. Understanding how people shape technology and how technology shapes people’s interactions with each other and the natural world is important not only for those who research, develop and implement new technologies but also for all these people and organisations that have to use technologies in their working and personal lives.
Few lines about M.Tech/ME
M.Tech/ME is a 2-year postgraduate programme that is divided into 4-semesters. The course is a higher specialisation course in engineering which focuses on more advanced levels of concept and implementation in the area taken up as for specialisation in the specific domain. The course is designed to train the students on requisite skills needed in the application, research and development activities in emerging areas of technology and engineering courses.
The course provides you the insight and deeper knowledge of the subjects that you have studied in your B.Tech/BE course. There are a number of specialisations available in M.Tech/ME courses, so that the students can choose their desired specialisation and achieve success in the chosen domain.

Eligibility for M.Tech/ME course
- The students should have passed PUC or 10+2 with science background with any of the three subjects in Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Computer Science, Electronics from recognised board
- The eligible students who have completed their B.Tech/BE in any stream with 50% aggregate from recognised university are eligible to apply for M.Tech/ME courses
Admission Procedures
The students with relevant qualifications can join the M.Tech/ME course by two modes. The first one is Merit based admission and the second one is Direct admission.
Let’s discuss in detail
Merit Admission
The students who are interested to join M.Tech/ME degree should mandatorily appear for GATE/PGCET/JEE- Advanced or institutional-based entrance exams and undergo counselling to choose their desired colleges for merit seats. The college allots the merit seats to the students according to their rankings and marks obtained by them in their entrance exams and marks scored in B.Tech/BE degree. There are two types of counselling for the B.Tech/BE students
1. Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) Counselling
The students who are interested to join the government engineering colleges and other engineering colleges affiliated to the government should undergo the PGCET counselling procedures of Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA). The students who intend to join for the merit seats under government quota are required to complete the counselling procedures and join for the M.Tech/ME programme in their chosen colleges. The Engineering colleges under the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA) are affiliated to the Visveswaraya Technological University (VTU).
2. GATE Counselling
The students who are interested to join the private autonomous engineering colleges and deemed universities that are affiliated to All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) are required to apply for the GATE/JEE Advanced counselling procedures. The students should qualify the GATE/JEE-Advanced counselling procedures to get admission to their desired private autonomous engineering colleges or deemed universities for Engineering programmes.
Direct Admission
The students have another option of getting admission to M.Tech/ME course by direct admission process. Under this mode of admission, the students are given direct admission to their desired colleges under management quota. The direct admission students enjoy many special privileges like that they are not required to apply for any entrance exam for getting admissions. They have an option to choose their desired colleges and universities and book their seats in advance even before the starting of the academic year. The students who are interested in direct admissions are required to contact Galaxy Educational Services for more details.
Career and Scope
There are plenty of jobs available for the ones who are looking for a career in engineering and research. The job roles will differ based on the specialisation one has opted for. The M.Tech/ME post graduates are given abundant job opportunities with good salary packages. They can join as research associates in various research organisations. They can join at higher and managerial positions in various organisations. If they are interested in teaching, they can join engineering colleges and take up teaching of engineering subjects.
Job Roles
