Welcome to the Department of Mechanical Engineering at NIT Delhi. Mechanical Engineering is a diverse field, which involves design, analysis and manufacturing from small machine parts and devices to large systems. We aspire to have a distinguished tradition of excellence in the theme areas ranging from thermal, mechanics, design and manufacturing to CAD/CAM/CAE. Department is committed to disseminate the advanced engineering education and pursues success in research as well. Department is dedicated to preparing students to face the emerging challenges facing by society. The department currently runs one undergraduate program B. Tech. (Mechanical Engineering) and one master’s program M. Tech. (CAD/CAM). Ph. D. program is also offered by the Department in all area of the Mechanical Engineering since Academic year 2016-2017. The Department is currently equipped with CAD Laboratory. Intake for M. Tech. CAD/CAM program is 34 seats + 2 seats (through DASA) including GATE scholarship, self-financed& sponsored seats. The program has been started from academic session 2016-17.

The Department's dream is to translate its research and to develop teaching methods so that the underprivileged minds can find technological solutions to future challenges. Students also have the opportunity to work with professionals from various fields in emerging areas such as Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Smart Healthcare, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), Digital Manufacturing, Mechatronics etc. Currently, Department of Mechanical Engineering has four (04) regular faculties with few faculties expected to join this year. Faculty members of the department have excellent academic & research credentials and published numerous peer reviewed journal articles/ papers, Books, Book Chapters etc. in diversified field and having adequate experience in advanced research. The Department believes that by developing a culture of seeking for knowledge and dissemination of research findings, intellectually sound, self-motivated and reliant mechanical engineers and researchers, who will be the bedrock of our nation’s match towards qualitative and massive technological development and dynamic industrialization, will be actualized. In other words, the department hopes to achieve the national goals and objectives of industrialization and self-reliance. As a result, it hopes to produce graduates with strong academic and practical background so that they can fit into the industry immediately upon graduation. To be a global knowledge hub in mechanical engineering education, research, entrepreneurship and industry outreach services.

• Impart quality education and training to nurture globally competitive mechanical engineers.
• Provide vital state-of-the-art research facilities to create, interpret, apply and disseminate knowledge.
• Develop linkages with world class educational institutions and R&D organizations for excellence in teaching, research and consultancy services.
