PREFACE
This book gives comprehensive information on the structure, curriculum and syllabus of
various Post Graduate programmes. The Board of Studies and Academic Council Continuously
monitor these Courses and makes appropriate modifications / improvements from time to time.
In order to keep pace with the rapid developments in science and technology and also to
keep in view the requirements of the nation and the aspirations of students, it is imperative that
the academic programmes of the institute are reviewed continuously.
The academic system is semester based and hence the students are required to follow
certain procedures and meet certain academic requirement each semester. The academic
performance is monitored by Postgraduate Graduate Committee (PGC), which also reviews
status of individuals after reviewing their performance.
The advisory system plays a very important role in a flexible curriculum of the type
offered under the various programmes of the Institute. The choice of courses being very wide
and considerable flexibility in the programme being its characteristic feature, students normally
need guidance to formulate a meaningful and well knit programme for each of them.

DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE ENGINEERING
The Department of Aerospace Engineering, formerly known as Faculty of Guided Missiles was
established with a mission to impart knowledge to scientists and service officers to take up the
challenges in design, development and use of guided missiles. Later scope was widened to Air
Armaments & UAVs.
Vison of the Department: To be a centre of excellence for education, training and research in
Aerospace Technologies.
Mission of the Department: To impart higher education and pursue research in the field of
Aerospace Engineering and Technology having a bearing on the defence requirements for the
officers of the Ministry of Defence, Armed Forces, Public Sector Undertakings, other related
Organizations and general public.
Research Areas:
 Flight Guidance and Control, Robust and Nonlinear Control
 Flight Dynamics and Trajectory Optimization
 Experimental Aerodynamics
 Aero-elasticity
 Flow control
 UAV
Currently, the department offers M.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering with three specializations

in Aerospace Engineering with specialization in Guided Missiles Technology. The programme
consists of courses in the areas related to guided missiles, practicals, seminars, and dissertation
work. The curriculum of the programme was formulated to meet the needs of the three services,
Defence R&D Organization, DGOF, MSQA, CGQA and Public Sector Undertakings dealing
with missiles and related technologies. From academic year 2009-10 onwards, the programme
was also opened up for civilian GATE qualified students.
Eligibility: B.E./B. Tech. degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical or AeSI / Mechanical/ Chemical/

Electrical/ Electronics/ Electronics and Communication / Instrumentation from recognized
university / AMIE.
Organization: The programme will be of four-semester duration. In the first semester there are
six courses and a laboratory/seminar. In the second semester there are seven courses out of
which four courses are electives. In the third semester there are two electives and dissertation
phase I. Fourth semester is completely devoted for dissertation phase II. All courses will have
three tests and a final examination. Half yearly evaluation of the dissertation takes place at the
end of the third semester. At the end of the final semester the student submits a thesis and makes
a presentation about the project, which is evaluated by the committee consists of Internal and
External examiners. Visits to various DRDO labs, Ordnance Factories, Armament Depots are
planned to enhance student‘s appreciation & understanding of the subject. The details of the
courses offered under the programme are given below:

Department of Mechanical Engineering
About the Department: The Mechanical Engineering Department seeks to combine excellence in
education and research with service to Defence. The goal of our academic programmes in mechanical
engineering is to provide students with a balance of intellectual and practical experiences that enable
them to address a variety of Defence needs. The Department is one of the largest departments.
The Department is known for research and projects in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, finite
element methods, vibrations, experimental stress analysis, vehicle dynamics and other areas.
Experimental and computational facilities are being continuously upgraded. The Department has
established, over the years, a close interaction with the DRDO laboratories and industry. It has carried
out a large number of consultancy and sponsored research projects, which have been successfully
completed. A number of sponsored research projects are ongoing.
The Department has carried out significant curriculum development work in Mechanical
Engineering. Apart from the regular courses the department offers, on a continual basis, a wide variety
of short-term intensive programmes for personnel from DRDO laboratories, Armed Forces and
industrial establishments. User-oriented M. Tech programmes on Armament/Combat Vehicles and
Marine Engineering has been formulated as per the needs of the Defence sector. The Programmes
offers a wide choice of specializations, electives and research areas. The department has laboratories
in Mechanical System Design and Analysis lab, Vibration lab, Fluid & Thermal Engg lab and
Manufacturing and Precision Engg lab etc.

M. Tech in Robotics
Brief Description: M.Tech in Robotics is an interdisciplinary Masters Programme composed of
five basic disciplines namely Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering. There is a
growing demand for students specialized in this area in Indian industries, defence applications,
atomic energy, space research, medical research etc. Hence this degree would help in generating
trained and qualified manpower in this area.
Eligibility:
1. The eligibility for the M.Tech. in Robotics will be B.E./B.Tech degree in
Mechanical/Electronics/Electrical/Computer Science/Aerospace Engineering
disciplines from recognized university.
2. This programme is open for civilian GATE qualified candidates, DRDO
Scientists/Officers and Officers from Tri-services. This programme is also open to
foreign nationals from the countries approved by GOI.
3. The M.Tech degree is offered based on basic discipline during UG programme i.e.
Mechanical/Electronics/Electrical/Computer Science/Aerospace Engineering with
a specialization in Robotics.
Organization: M. Tech in Robotics is a four-semester master‘s programme. There are six

compulsory courses in the first semester, four compulsory and two electives in the second
semester and two courses (regular/self study/MOOC) in the third semester. In each semester,
three tests as a part of continuous evaluation and an end semester examination will be conducted
for each course. M.Tech dissertation first phase evaluation is done by a committee duly
constituted by Chairman, PGC at the end of third semester. At the end of the final semester,
student submits a thesis and makes a presentation about the project, which is evaluated by duly
constituted committee constituted by Controller of Examinations, DIAT (DU), Pune.
